17 storms the last 5 years have dropped 4+ at DTW, including 4 over 9". Yup. No organized systems in 5 years. Also, snow depths last Feb reached 21" in Chicago, 18" in Toledo, and 14" in Detroit. Impressive with no organized systems. Nov. 27/28, 2021: 4.3" Feb 15/16, 2021: 10.4" Feb 4, 2021: 4.1" Jan 18, 2020: 6.8" Feb 25/26, 2020: 5.5" Nov 11/12, 2019: 9.2" Jan 19, 2019: 5.8" Mar 1, 2018: 5.0" Feb 9, 2018: 9.2" Feb 6/7, 2018: 4.2" Feb 4/5, 2018: 5.3" Dec 24/25, 2017: 5.4" Dec 13/14, 2017: 6.5" Dec 11/12, 2017: 4.0" Mar 13, 2017: 5.3" Jan 30/31, 2017: 4.6" Dec 11/12, 2017: 10.7"

Clipper #3 dropped 2.6" powder here. I was hoping for more, but clipper #2s 3.1" was more than double what was expected, so it's all good. Love seeing the mounds of powder everywhere. And definitely have fallen in love with my snowblower, piles be damned.

Some weaken. Some don't. Always been that way. Can definitely name multiple events the last 4 years that didn't weaken lol.

It certainly does. Snow falling on fresh snow. Love it!

Speak for yourself lol. Feb is not 100% done. I live in Michigan. And Feb doesn't even start for 8 days.

Today's 3.1" snowfall had 0.20" liquid. Pure powder. Forecast tomorrow is 2-4".

Finished with 3.1" of powder. Definitely overperformed here and it's my favorite type of snow. Bring on tomorrow. Detroit finished with 3.0". North of Detroit saw 1 to 2" with 3 to 4" near the Ohio border. Clipper#1- 0.2" (expected T) Clipper#2- 3.1" (expected 1-2") Clipper#3- tbd

Snowing very nicely out and stacking up well. This clipper will easily be an overperformer here. Should easily hit/exceed 3"

Got 0.2" today, I guess from remnants of clipper 1 which I didn't expect. Bring on the next 2! Looks like toledos snow hole ends.

Oh I love to head into the woods and hike. I want to snowmobile too.

Looking good for some dry clipper snow. Id say Detroit looks good for 1-2" tmrw and 1-3" Monday. Chicago looks 2-3" tmrw and 1-2" Monday.

I booked a cabin on Vrbo in Au Train, not far at all from Munising, Feb 21-25. We all have the same idea lol. Best, deepest snow is always late Winter.

It's an op model run. It will change next cycle.

Feb always ftw!

Crazy. A factory to my North apparently seeded clouds enough to provide a band of snow to hug the Detroit River. Got 0.4" here but 2.5 miles West got nothing

What's average peak depth up that way? We neared 2 feet in 2014, 18" in 2015, and 14" in 2018 & 2021, but I'd say avg peak depth is 8-10".

How much on the ground?

Beat me to it. I was thinking it's time for a thread. Seems like lots of moving parts and may need to extend the date thru the 25th, but finally legit, old-fashioned clipper potential.

Clipper potential on Monday looks interesting.

Do you mean Nov 11, 2019? That was Detroits largest November snowstorm on record with 9.2".

Good to hear. Last Feb was rocking but definitely not like the relatively recent glory days.

Let me have a few lol. Feb is our can't go wrong month anymore it seems.

Wow nice to hear from you, thought you left Toronto. Only the Feb 2015 storm here matches that for snowfall here in my lifetime (although depths in 2014 and 1999 were greater).

What is your hometown? Didn't know you weren't from MI! Bare frozen ground here with some frozen snow piles. Thank goodness next week looks clipperier because my patience is getting thin. My total precip in Jan to date is just 0.27", with 2.8" snow.

Just curious where you were hearing next month is supposed to be very mild? Neither the CFS nor euro weeklies show a mild February. Quite the opposite in fact.
