    This was the worst ice storm here since 2002. Walking around this morning and hearing tree limbs crashing to the ground was crazy. Lots of tree limbs and lines down. But SO beautiful. A part of me wishes the ice would stay on the trees for tomorrow when it's cold and sunny, but another part of me realizes that would make things even worse with the wind.

    Quite an Ice Storm in southeast MI. Power flickering, more than half of Wyandotte is without power but I have it so far. Tree branches falling and transformers blowing. I can't think of anything more love/hate for a weather enthusiast than an ice storm. The inconvenience is huge but the beauty is incredible. The last pic is a transformer blowing in the distance. I videoed and screenshot it. You can see blue/green frequently lighting up the night sky.

    I never realized they had a webcam. I would much rather be up there but the ice storm is pretty cool. After being up North a few days ago though I can't tell you how desperately they need that snow brown ground in st ignace/mackinaw.

    Lots of power outages, trees down, and transformers blown in Wyandotte but so far all is good here.

    I just posted this in the March discussion thread but it's worth repeating. They're getting excited in new england for multiple threats. And southern ne has had a far worse Winter than us. Every subforum has your crowd of "it's been a bad Winter so it's not going to snow in March" and some of them are gonna be dead wrong.

    March 2014 & 2015 were fun because of the deep snow. But yes overall exciting wise? It's been a while

    Let's do a snowy march! February broke the stretch of getting buried so maybe March can break the stretch of being zzzz
  11. michsnowfreak
    Had a trace of snow and sleet at the onset otherwise it's been all freezing rain here
  12. michsnowfreak
    I didn't know you went up north
  13. michsnowfreak
    Yes. It's the only one I can recall

    Hey you said winter headline lol. Jokes aside there's probably been more than you think of with some sort of headline. I think Jan 1999 was a statewide storm. But obviously many storms that do well for us don't do much for the rest of the state (most recent example Jan 25th) and most storms that do well elsewhere screw us.

    Technically lol Dec 22, 2022

    The April 2018 ice storm here had lots of ice accretion on trees and grass but minimal pavement. And I do want to stand corrected we also had a February 2019 ice storm but I was up North during it. So that would be the last real ice storm here.

    SE MI forecast is so damn tricky with this one. Last real ice storm here (not counting minor glazing) was Apr 15, 2018. And before that it had been several years. Ironically the most ice storms were centered around the least snowy decade (1940s).

    I'm sorry you were in a screw hole. My main point was the past several winters in most of SE MI were near climo (actually slightly snowier than climo at most stations last winter). This winter is not. And a sucky winter doesn't mean nothing happens in mar/apr. Maybe we go the rest of the way with no more measurable snow. Maybe we get a huge snowstorm. Or more than likely somewhere in between. You must be awfully close to 20, so you'll likely hit it.

    DTW was at 9.0" thru Mar 19, 1983. Then got 11" in spring. That said, I can't imagine going thru that Winter here. My mom was pregnant with me so I guess I kinda did lol.
  20. michsnowfreak
    Spring isn't happening . Jokes aside, I'd easily bet money that ORD-DTW gets more winter.

    Let's see if we get a big March snowstorm. All guidance looking cold mid March.
  22. michsnowfreak
    Yeah Dec 2000 was awesome. The rest of the winter was zzzz city. Not sure about the overall national pattern tho.
  23. michsnowfreak
    We had a blizzard in Feb 1965, it only dropped 11" but the winds were ferocious, and there were massive drifts. The 1960s were not that exciting of a decade snow wise here so that storm was by far the highlight of the decade
  24. michsnowfreak
    That is awful. Maybe take a trip further upstate New York or Pennsylvania or something just to at least see some snow. I've had 20" but I still took a trip to the upper peninsula lol. I would have taken one even if it was a great winter here. It's good for the snow weenies mental health to get away to the Winter wilderness.

    Those winters were absolute furnaces in this area of the Midwest and there is plenty of documentation of that regardless of what station you use. Lol so now we are supposed to just get rid of older warm winters. Winter 1881-82 is detroits warmest winter on record BY FAR. Nothing has come close to touching it. Winter 1877-78 is well documented as Minnesotas year without a winter. 1931-32 has lots of newspaper stories of things blooming and growing throughout the winter (til March got cold).
