Winter 2025-26 Medium/Long Range Discussion
michsnowfreak replied to michsnowfreak's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
After today's snow next item to watch is arctic front Thursday. -
Im hoping for 2" of powder to cover up the 2" frozen crust. Will work wonders. Not sure how good ratios will be, but with temps in the mid 20s at least I know it won't be wet cement again. Anywhere that was plowed is literally like a boulder that could kill now.

Nov 28-30th Post Turkey Day Winter Storm
michsnowfreak replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
So jealous of such a large area of 8+. We just missed it. Then again, just east of us got nothing. I will take that as a good sign though for the stormy forecasts this winter. Its still November yet thats a bigger storm than any this region saw last winter. -

michsnowfreak replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
The storm was disappointing here due to marine air and bad ratios on the far east side. Although with a low track well west in late November its not a surprise. Northwest suburbs towards Ann Arbor had 4-6". Some areas of west and mid Michigan had 6-8". I had 3.1" but compacted to about 2" of wet cement. I finish November at 5.7". DTW had 3.6", finishing November at 5.9". It was certainly a spread the wealth for the western sub tho. Pic shows last night vs this morning. -

DTW has been SN+ for 2 hours now. Visibility low and roads slippery. Beautiful out! -

Right . Even though they beat Chicago almost every year. This time, Chicago gets the headstart. All things aside, very winter like storm for november. We are getting snow from a low tracking to our west. -

Pixie dust light snow for a while has dusted the ground. Temp 28. Thinking 4-5" is a good call for here. Should be a bit of compaction in the early morning as temps rise above freezing, but still a solid winter wonderland expected. -

Lmao. So Detroit has an advisory for 5-7", Ann Arbor has a warning for 5-8", and Toledo has a warning for up to 6". Im sure the general public knows the difference -

MLI will exceed its 2024-25 total in 2025-26 before December. Thinking 4-6" here. Hoping the dryslot/potential end as rain in sunday morning isn't too bad. -

michsnowfreak replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Ratios are what im interested in. A bulk of the snow will fall with temps of about 28-32, so even if it does end as rain as temps briefly climb above freezing Sunday morning here, I have to imagine a good blanket is laid down. -

michsnowfreak replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Chicago saw under 20 last winter. I dont mind that they'll get more than us this storm. Regardless looks like a widespread advisory to warning criteria snowstorm. Thats on top of the early November 9-10 snowfall and cold as far as the eye can see...excellent start to winter! -

3-6" seems like a good call for Detroit. -

Very light dusting of snow this morning. But with Saturdays snow, this will be the 3rd Thanksgiving weekend in a row to have a blanket of snow. -

Blizzard ongoing in the western U.P. of MI. Between a synoptic dump and lake effect The western UP will easily see 2-3+ feet of snow. Jealous is an understatement. Snow squalls will hit the entire state of MI, with accumulations ranging from a dusting to 18" depending on location. Winds gusting 45-55mph. Lake snow warnings also up in upstate NY. The gales of November are roaring and winter has arrived. Coming to New England shortly. -
It's probably gonna be amazing scenery in the western UP. Heavy wet snow clinging to everything then it freezes up then fluffy drifty lake snow. 2-3 feet possible near Ironwood. Always not fair when a lake belt gets slammed with synoptic snow first. So jealous!
