You cared enough to respond to him. I understand it's been a frustrating start to winter out in chicagoland, but don't take it out on other people, even though spartman may deserve it sometimes. You've been condescending for years on here and it needs to stop. Posts like these is what prevents newer members or guest viewers from posting or joining and growing the community on here. Que the lol response to this post, further making my point. Anyone can be an arrogant prick online, and its cowardly. Perhaps try to step down off your pedestal and be decent to people.

2.5 inches here. Looks like we'll end up with about 4 when its all said and done here in Shelby. At least you're not missing a big dog. I was hoping we'd get one here in december as I'm making the drive south for Florida next week for the next 3 months. I suppose the weenie in me could catch a flight home if a big dog looks likely.

"Back and forth over a 2-4" event". Dont get too frustrated. While were at our average, its taken over 16 hours to get that 4-6 total snow we've seen this winter. You're not missing much. We will all cash in soon and my gut is telling me there will be a few big dogs to come soon, probably more to our north and west here in SE MI.

Bummer. I live at 16 and hayes and was a mix of snow and pingers. Just 5 miles north it was all snow. The dividing line always seems to end up in the same area. Easily an inch or 2 already with the band stalling overhead. Could be a interesting overachiever in central oakland/macomb.

Pouring snow here in Shelby twp. Drive into work was very icy. Nice banding setting up along oakland/macomb.

Lolol. They gangin up on the moderator/boss.

I agree wholeheartedly. btw is anyone else getting messages on here like this? lolol. I guess this scammer is right assuming its a sausagefest on here.

Euro and gfs both have something at the start of next week. Obviously a long ways away but pattern looks promising after a mild week.

37° Pouring rain for 5 hours now. Gross.

Some areas on the east side didn't get 4 inches, a slushy inch on the grass. I don't think it's unrealistic to hope for an event where it snows an inch an hour for a couple hours at least. I dont have much expectations after living my whole life here, but that being said these wimpy events where it takes 8 hours to get 3 inches are getting old. Id rather have sun and warmth.

It took like 8 hours to accumulate 2 inches for each event. I guess its better than what other areas have seen, but being on the edge of the warmer air all week was annoying. I think we're all ready for a big event.

Its been more frustrating to see pretty much 80% of the U.S. seeing record warmth, while were stuck in the 30s here in SE MI. If it ain't gonna snow, bring on the torch. Were getting neither!

I feel like i saw these same maps all last year up until now and never seem to verify, atleast up this way in the eastern lakes. Either way looks like were gonna have to thread the needle to get a snowstorm for the next few weeks through christmas.

GFS and euro both have something around the 10th but but models have been showing a decent storm in this range for a couple weeks to only have them vanish.

It is pretty neat to see it plastered to everything.

Lansing to Ann Arbor have been in the banding all day. I wouldn't be surprised if those areas see 4 to 5". Dry air has been eating away at the precip all day here on the east side. Maybe an inch has accumulated.

Obviously we have different criteria to what accounts for a good winter. You're okay with settling with northwest flow and garbage clippers like the current pattern, meanwhile I'd rather roll the dice and get the southern stream and gulf open for business. I'll take warm and potentially wet over dry, high ratio 2-4 inchers. Most models have something in the dec 4-6 timeframe. The key will be to have a somewhat strong clipper drop down to push the jet stream further south so the next storm in line can dig south a bit. The gfs does this, while the euro keeps the clippers weaker, making the next big storm most likely a rainer for most of the midwest.

Gross.

GFS has a decent clipper for the lower lakes late weekend. High ratio fluff. The usual weak until it blossoms along the east coast. It always amazes me when energy can look so weak around the lakes, then boom turns into a respectable storm for the coast.

I'm remembering the mid February storm, temps were pretty cold, like in the upper teens? The ratios def saved it from being a total dud Not one model had the dry slot getting this far north, but somehow Detroit always finds a way to get into it. Either way it's been a pretty dull Winter the past 3 years so hopefully we can get things going in here soon. It's a bummer because we've had some decent colder around here lately but no storms. Hopefully yall don't mind us cluttering up this thread a bit. Not a whole lot going on really anywhere snowwise.

Yea that storm. Wow i thought the dry slot snuck into toledo too. Good to see toledo jackpotted for once.

Toledo had 14 on the ground after last yrs mid feb quick hitter?

I wasn't here for the feb 15 storm but i remember it as one storm that only lasted 4-6 hours and most places saw a high ratio 4-5 for the main show. Snow that happened the previous day shouldn't count towards the main show imo. Im not heading south to florida for the winter until jan 1st so here to hoping for a front loaded winter.

Ill take that track anyday. If you want a big snows, you got to smell the rain. That feb storm last year was a fast mover and I think only like 4-5 fell in most areas, high ratio fluffer. Models were hyping it bigger than it ended up being. I think the only event last year that dropped more than 3".

Northwest flow and clipper patterns don't do it for me so I guess now's a good time to be in that now and get it out of the way, and hopefully it doesnt return this winter. A decent warm up looks to be on the horizon soon. We need one powerhouse low pressure system to track north of us and push the jet stream further south so we can get some low pressure systems to come out of the 4 corners, or the gulf. I am itching and craving for a snowstorm. It's been what seems like 3 years since we've seen a decent snowstorm here in Detroit. The early november surprise storm in november 2019 is only one that comes to mind.
