I forgot to ask the other day... Isn't president's day the 19th? 

Yea I saw him reference it the other day and thought to myself I don't think anyone was talking about the models that far out. Perhaps he's just excited for trumps return soon and wants to name a storm after him.

Not trying to be a dick but you need to keep your expectations in check considering you live in Michigan.

Im trying to be a dick when I say Ive lived here most of my life and we've had plenty of warm springs, Mr. born in 1998.

wrong

Yea it was warmer than past Springs but still not as warm as I'd like. Hoping for more prolonged stretches in the 60s.

Not anymore lol

Well when I landed home and checked the weather Saturday, it showed sun all week. I see it's changed to cloudy everyday lol. I will take the warmth though over cold and dry. As already stated, euro all over the map run to run for next weeks potential. At this point, I'm hopeful we get a warm march and april. It's been awhile since we've had a warm spring.

Gfs/euro with something to keep an eye on for next monday/tuesday. Before that though, rare stretch of 5 straight days of sun here in the 40's and maybe even 50's.

return

 

For some odd reason I don't recall this storm here in metro detroit. Maybe it was ghd2? I do remember a snowstorm forecasted 3-5 days before detroit hosted the superbowl in 2006.  I don't think anything even ended up accumulating.

See you twice next season. Should be good games. Otherwise, 4 wins apiece against the Bears/Vikings sounds like a plan.

 

Man if y'all didn't choke too, would've been a fun nfc championship game in detroit.

detroit peeps, you alive and alright?

I thought being a lions fan was tough, guess I hadn't seen nothing yet. Then they choke for the world to see. Almost everyone in America was rooting for them, except for a few divisional fans. This one's gonna hurt for awhile. 

Crazy how detroit broke the precip record for january after today. Who would've thought half of it was probably liquid.

I'd imagine areas along 59 were the jackpot. Funny possibly the biggest event of the winter might be one where 1-2 were forecasted. Did the band just stall out. What did the models miss?

That was some of the heaviest snow I have ever seen locally here, at one point tI had to be pushing 4 inches an hour

This is probably another one of those events where your area gets two or three more inches than the east side. One of these days I'm gonna take a ride to the hills during an event.

Of course I am out of town for a surprise, overachiever.

I'm confused. Is that palm dewd? if it is, gotta admire him entertaining us during this zzzz winter.

Different strokes. Josh always keeps his expectations low which is smart if you're a big dog fan in metro detroit. I've learned we can't do anything about it so it's useless to get all bent outta shape when we have a winter like this current one. Ya got 3 months and to expect to cash in a legit storm more than once or twice is unrealistic expectations. 

Pretty incredible to see 80s reached today in and around DC. Dont usually see the SE ridge flexing in El nino.

Pretty excited for deformation band rain in the dead of winter. Gross

Already getting slick here with the fzdz and fzra here.

I got a flight out at 7am, good chance its canceled? Also do they have to de-ice a plane if it sits more than an hour between landing and taking off for the next flight?

Just mother nature evening things out, like getting screwed by GHDIII lol.

Picked up 1.5" last night/early this morning here.

I'm sorry you got a Ghd scar too. Tbh after getting screwed with the first one, I forget the details on the ghd2/3, locally and other areas. It's good to see things kinda even out. Ex:Minneapolis

2 inches yesterday and nice 3 fluffy inches overnight with heavy snow now. Cool to see the rare heavy bands roll in from the NE, vortices no less. Easy 2 inches per hour with the ratios.

QC = new Minneapolis 

Yea im getting tired of seeing dark greens on the qc radar.

A foot +

Aided by lake effect I'd assume? Or was it mostly system snow?

Jackpot toledo. With these ratios, wouldn't be surprised to see someone stack a half a foot in the band.

I'll take 35 and rain over this cold.

Well yea I dont know who would enjoy cold and dry.

So its gonna be dry all week while we have legit cold air in place, then it warms up, gets active and get rained on.

I'd say this is significant considering we were going to get screwed especially us on the east side

Its funny, more often than not when dtx issues a wwa, we overachieve and underachieve when they are bullish with wsw. But yea its a legit blizzard out. I always gotta remind myself to enjoy it because it may be the only event we get this winter.
