I swear I’ve read this almost every time it has snowed this season. Racine and Kenosha counties have been the bullseye for almost every “event” in the greater area. In an otherwise lackluster snowfall this winter, those two counties cashed in.

Snow total at MLI ended up being 0.8", 0.5" at DVN.  MLI now up to 8.2" for the season, with 1.6" futility buffer remaining.  

Lawns are starting to green up now with the recent rains/warmth.

It sucks so bad that they are going to screw you out of record futility due to missing data from that winter. Absurd!

As tcc pointed out, there appears to be a very important M day in early December 1936. Now make no mistake about it, 1936-37 was an absolutely horrendous winter for snowfall in most spots, far worse than 2024-25. I cringe when I hear of it. It is Detroits least snowy winter on record (12.9"), Bostons least snowy on record (9.0") and ranks extremely high on the all time snowless lists in many if not most places. But I'm not sure it should be molines #1. Depending what happened that day in Dec 1936, the true #1 might be 11.1" in 1901-02. However, perhaps it was an ice storm that day, and not snow after all? Do you have access to any old local newspapers? I have access to all Detroit free press since 1837, but I wonder if anyone has access to all newspapers? It would be the best way to find out what happened that day.

Interesting possible omission of snowfall, but no way to know for sure.  Luckily there's still a decent chance we can stay under 9.9" and beat existing questionable record anyway.
