Some hit and miss squalls today dropped 0.4" and drifted some of the snowcover around. 13 of the past 14 days saw measurable snowfall. The lone holdout was Jan 20 with just a T. Deep winter continues.

Feb 1, 2015 essentially felt like a 20" storm at DTW. 3" on the ground to start, then nearly 17" more in 24 hrs.

PHN is Port Huron. Which is in SE MI, northeast of Detroit. He is not faulted for wanting a 20" storm. He is faulted for his repeated schtick of coming to the board during winter only, a time he does not reside in MI, mostly to stir his repetitious pot that everyone gets 20" storms but here, say weather/climate stats proving that wrong are bs, etc. Me, someone who loves snow and lives in a place where it snows all the time but said snow doesn't come 20" in 1 day, being his main target. And really, the era of '65-'85 did have one massive storm here (Dec 1, 1974, 19.3") but the era of 1999-2015 had far more double digit storms in SE MI than 1965-85.

Yeah the drumbeat goes on. Frigid week ahead.

Lmao you complained about double digit snowstorms all the time back in the 2000s/10s. You did in 2014, even with 2 feet on the ground because with all the storms we had no individual fall was over 12". The very next year, when Detroit got nearly 17" of snow on Feb 1/2, 2015 you found plenty of critique saying it was boring and took 24 hours to achieve (despite hours of visibility below 1/4 mile). Our last double digit storm (Feb 2021) you dont remember (even though you were in FL) so I guess it didnt happen. In fact you ghost this board all year except in winter when youre in FL so you can troll/repeat how no 20" storms are hitting SE MI. Me posting how many 20"+ storms in every first order station in the entire non-lake belt midwest is not "bs", its actual weather data. And how extremely lucky that you've experienced several! Your job just happened to place you in a town the exact day a 20" storm hit. That's lotto lucky. As for the tundra. Theres deep snow in place and mountains of snow everywhere, so i dont mind it in the least. Perfect for winter rec.

Ive noticed the clipper pattern showing up on LR models.

Not to mention, we get plenty of big snowstorms. He is talking 20"+. Which any amount of data you can find will tell you that it is EXTREMELY rare in this region. Dubuque, Moline, Cedar Rapids, Rockford, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Dayton, LaCrosse, Bismark, Peoria, Springfield, St Louis, Madison - not a single 20" storm in their climate record. Detroit has 1, 1886 Flint has 1, 1967 Des Moines has 1, 1942 Chicago has 3, most recent 2011 Columbus has 1, 2008 Lansing has 1, 1967 Toledo has 1, 1900 Cleveland has 1, 1913 Kansas City has 1, 1912 Milwaukee has 1, 1974 Minneapolis has 2, most recent 1991 St Cloud has 3, most recent 1965

Its also ok to live in a state known for winter and to enjoy winter without being lectured from someone who does not reside in winter and does not like winter. And as I get older I use the snowblower more and more. Love shoveling but only when its not too heavy. My piles are no more special than others anymore.

You dont even live here in winter. You essentially hate winter. This storm was a great storm for the central ohio crew but it was short of 20" so if it was here you'd be complaining. I know, because you had many critiques when Detroit had a 16.7" storm in 2015.

34.1" here to date. Though there have been no huge storms here, snowfall has been very frequent. Plow/salt contractors have been on overtime every week since Thanksgiving except for 2 (Christmas week and 2nd week of January). Daily wind chills to -20F, a deep blanket of snow, mountains of powder everywhere, THIS is how the dead of winter should be! It's what the normies call "an old fashioned winter". 2025-26 will be the 2nd colder than avg winter in a row and is on pace to be the snowiest since 2017-18.

Thats just crazy. Lol and Detroit sits on a salt mine. Plow/Salt contractors in SE MI have been on overtime every week since Thanksgiving with exception of 2 weeks (Christmas week and 2nd week of January).

Went sledding/snow playing with my nephew. He was already out all day with friends then wanted to go sledding. Then I take him home and he wants to make an igloo out of the snowbank in the driveway. The kid could live in snow day and night. I have found @beavis1729 match!

Detroit must take the case for salting lol. I mean theres been multiple plows too, but i heard some contractors are low on salt already.

So far this season i have had 34.1" which is about 10" above avg to date. Nov- 5.7" Dec- 11.6" Jan- 16.8"

It was epic in much of MI but not SE MI. Detroit literally saw twice as much snow Feb 1/2, 2015 than they did Jan 26, 1978. 1974 was way more epic. 1978 was a great storm but way overblown here.
