    True, but its really no different than the other crowd during periods of cold. We will start to see random posts about warmth elsewhere on the planet.

    Agree 100% on the Wednesday clipper being a classic example the difference the hills make. Although until that system DTW & White Lake were neck and neck.

    Similar here. 3" of frozen crust. At least it's still white.

    While I always share frustration in snowmelt, Im curious, why do you only post when its to complain? I dont think I saw one post from you during Chicago's snow blitz not to mention one of the coldest starts to December on record.

    These dudes were chilling by the side of a road last night. Frozen solid after a slushy day.

    We peaked at 5-6" depth pre dawn yesterday and have 3-4" left. Theres a few grass patches in the usual places (trees by Salt splashed roadsides) but the snow is frozen solid.

    As expected was gross here. Started with 2" of snow then turned to rain for several hours. With dews above freezing for nearly 12 hours, we lost more snow than we gained. Freezing up now.

    This morning was like a summer squall line on radar, only it was December snow. Picked up 1.2" here and 1.0" at DTW. Pretty consistent 1-1.5" in 1.5 hours with the passage of this morning's mini clipper. Tonight is really nowcast. Dont know what to expect. Season to date snowfall is 10.5" here and 10.3" DTW. Today waa the 4th snowfall of December falling in the 1-1.5" range. Nickel and diming a winter wonderland. The snow blanket is very layered and more dense than it looks.

    The first week of December was the 9th coldest on record at Detroit & Toledo, and 10th coldest at Chicago. I didnt check any other cities.
  10. michsnowfreak
    They were. But still picked up 25.1" in December 2000. I had 29.9".

    There have been some front end winters (hello 2000-01) but certainly after Christmas is often when a lot of the fun is.

    1.4" here. Season to date is 9.3", a true season of nickel and dimes: 2.5" - Nov 10 0.1" - Nov 27 3.1" - Nov 29/30 1.2" - Dec 1/2 1.0" - Dec 3/4 1.4" - Dec 7

    Deepest snow in chicago in nearly 5 years. Congrats, im jealous!

    Multiple record lows were set this day, but one of the more impressive was Flint which smashed their record low ot 6 with -3.

    Its a beautiful snowy morning here, definitely a very nickel and dime start to the season. Its been white since Nov 29, so no complaints there. But idk if I'd say its true spread the wealth. For the most part the highest amounts this early season have consistently been focused in the same general area, the same area that did so poorly last season. Its a classic example of mother nature smoothing the mean for that area.

    Record low temp of 5° at Detroit this morning, beating the old recordcof 6° from 1974. The DTW sensor seems to not be recording intra hour min/max, so i wonder if it may have dropped even lower.

    There aren't grass tips here. But if there were. Any snow during the Christmas season enhances the mood. Also the cold glistening type of snow is more typical of mid winter than early December.
  18. michsnowfreak
    Im looking out the window beyond my Christmas decorations at a glistening blanket of snow. I can think of worse scenarios to be in in early December. And no, that doesn't mean i dont want a big storm too
  19. michsnowfreak
    Moline IL set all.time low season snow last winter (8.2") and passed that total thus year in NOVEMBER
  20. michsnowfreak
    Iowa is rarely the hot spot because of no lake help of any kind. They can get a good storm though.
  21. michsnowfreak
    Surprise inch of fluffy snow ahead of the arctic front. 7.9" season to date. We are nickel and diming away to start 2025-26.
  22. michsnowfreak
    My area missed the brunt of the Nov 29 storm to the west and was just grazed by the storm that hit the east. But looks and feels like winter. We won't even touch freezing all week. Single digits Thu night. This is not normal early Dec weather. Avg highs in NYC are still upper 40s. Winter is just starting. Everyone wants a big storm but winter has more to offer than that.
  23. michsnowfreak
    I kinda was in the middle by getting grazed by both, hopefully the next one targets us. Still no complaints on Dec 2nd. My measurable snow this season: Nov 9- 2.5" Nov 27- 0.1" Nov 29/30- 3.1" Dec 1/2- 1.2"
  24. michsnowfreak
    We've been missing the heaviest snows but make no mistake, winter has set in early this year! Single digits on the way Thursday night. Took this this evening as the moon made the snow glisten.
  25. michsnowfreak
    Picked up 1.2" of sugar snow here. Was very glittery and pretty. 3" on the ground with a good crunch to it. It was frustrating to be grazed by both storms but can't complain being at 6.9" on just December 2nd.
