    People were saying canadian would change by September. Well. Its held steady. Not saying its right, but it has not caved to a mild winter.

    Detroit had 10 days of 90F, looks like they just touched 90F today for the 11th day of the year.

    Its crazy to think an area that relatively far north can have an entire snow season with 0.2" or 1.2".

    My low mark is 21.5" in 2023-24. Looking at all the strong Ninos, snowfall ranged from 20-45" here. So a realistic early guess for a strong nino for me would be 30-35". Much less dependent on the boom or bust storm than you guys.

    Huge difference in climo between ORD & DCA tho

    Luck, good and bad, happens in pretty much all winters. Everytime you guys talk 82-83 i cringe because it was definitely the worst strong nino of the bunch here, but I also realize some bad luck was involved in January and February. The extremely uncharacteristic lack of snow here was likely an extra slap in the face coming off the very snowy 1981-82.

    Perfectly stated. Ive noticed its very common with some to make winters of yesterday seem harsher than they were, winters of today seem less harsh than they are, and use all-time severe winters as baseline for "typical" cold. Its funny to see so much pushback by some in admitting last winter was cold. Mind you, this a winter expected to be very mild by these same folks. Since it was cold, all we hear is "it was record warm in the west" "this used to be the norm" (it did not) "it was colder in the 1970s" (who said it wasnt?) etc etc etc

    Id take Dec 1997 over Dec 2015 but 2015-16 as a whole over 1997-98.

    I made a winter purchase yesterday too! Bought a new sled for my nephew, he has an August bday but is obsessed with sledding. Never too early to prepare

    54F at DTW this morning. Though we did come close with 55F on July 23, this was our coldest morning since June 24th.

    I love living in Michigan. Like ALEK, I plan to live here the rest of my life. However, if I had to live somewhere else it would be northern New England.

    Different regions definitely prefer different ENSO's. For here its NO contest - La Nina all day, any day. Strong El Nino is typically the worst ENSO state you want to see here in winter. We still get multiple rounds of snow/winter in strong Ninos, just usually less of it than normal. For the midatlantic where it's more of a feast/famine climate, the history of large snowstorms in El Nino vs La Nina makes it easy to see why you guys prefer Nino.
