One of the only interesting things about January here was the lack of temp movement. Max 45 Min 11 all month at Detroit. In 147 years of record, only 32 years saw a colder max for the month and only 9 years saw a warmer min for the month.

I like a new thread starter, it just seems like there's so many threads lol. We didn't let that short term discussion thread last long. Hopefully your mojo works Snowstorms. It's certainly possible to go a whole season without a 6"+ storm but it's become exceedingly rare. Only 2 of the past 20 winters did not feature at least one 6"+ storm here and only 1 of the past 20 if you include all of SE MI. So I'd imagine something gives between Feb and Apr. Bonus points if it's a big dog. 6 year anniversary today actually. And lol @ steve. When I said winters half over I didn't mean it in a literal sense. but checking, the snow season is statistically 55.5% over.

bad start for sure. no issue with posting about where that ranked. Especially me, I'm the fellow stat king. I mean Chicago was kinda due for a storm anyway. MY issue was the ones questioning all time season futility and acting like it was never going to snow there this season. bonus points for beavis 34 posts on Chicago's horrible climo yet he has more snow on the ground than most places well to his north.

Cleveland has had 29.0" and snow depth is 0. Definitely an interesting hobby

We essentially swapped Dec and Jan for the northern and southeast suburbs. The Dec events were better here.

I'm a near match to you at 19.8"...and I have 1-2" on the ground

It's very frustrating! Im annoyed that weve missed out on what the western part of the sub has had in January, mainly the past week. The ridiculous talk around Christmas about seasonal futility for Chicago, when literally 4 months of snow potential remained, kinda pisses me off because it was stupid talk then & salt in the wound now. Season total here is 19.8" but only 6.0" of it came in January (all nickels and dimes) and while the last week it has looked like Winter it has not been much. December was a far better month. There is certainly lots of potential in February so I won't say anything else now but if this keeps up in February I will be ranting more.

It better!!!! one probably will.

estimate 1.3" here, very drifty. another inch snowfall. So glad this shit January is over. 19.8" on season but only 6.0" in January.

Trust me, if some area is decently below average by mid December I'm sure someone will start discussing futility.

Kind of annoyed that this storm is sinking South of here but can't get them all. Hopefully this is just the beginning of an active period for our region. May Feb be the opposite of the zzzs that ruled most of January. This is why I always lol when people who are off to slow starts in December start talking about seasonal futility when snow chances last until April.

We saw 2 storms in the 7-9" range last Winter, and everyone knows im more about snow cover than the actual storm but I'm getting the shakes from not having a warning storm this Winter and were only halfway through lol. Idk how I would have survived the dearth of 6"+ storms this area saw mid century

This is definitely not spread the wealth from Detroit to Toronto corridor lol. Of course when that usually happens Chicago misses out. Indiana and Ohio are definitely more due for a 6"+ storm than anywhere north of I 80, but a true spread the wealth storm that would envelop all or most of this sub is extremely rare.

Lmao I heard that. Anyone have a twc map of their Feb forecast?

I had gotten used to your avatar lol

Welcome,I see you are new here. Are you closer to Detroit or Windsor?

I know right lol. As expected the active pattern has commenced. Let's just hope one of these can break what has been the winter of 1-4" snows, especially with possible big cold coming. Last winter we had several 6+ storms in SE MI but didn't have as many nickels and dimes and the real anamolous cold came out of season (Nov, apr, may)

DTX has Detroit south to the border in an advisory for 2-6" for tonight/tomorrow. To me it looks like a long drawn out event because we will have the initial band of snow tmrw morning before it disintegrates then on Monday the eastern counties will have deform snow. We will definitely miss the brunt of the storm although our snow will likely be sugary/powdery and not wet.

We exceeded a foot many times from 2008 to 2018 (culminating near 2 feet in 2014) but since 2018 our highest depth was 9".

you are probably closest to DVN for official sites, right?

its your magnet this winter. what's your current snowpack and what's the highest you can remember?

The latest runs were good except euro.

We won't have the thermals issue in Southeast Michigan but obviously the northern extent of the snow is the worrisome issue. I am wondering if as always it will continue to edge North a bit.

Tell me about it lol. The snow is very thin especially in sunny spots where lots of grass can be seen, but it's crunchy. ive got my eye on Sunday. Wyandotte is quite suburban/small town but I live in a neighborhood with old houses where the front yards are very small and the backyards are big. We even have coyotes lol, there been a lot spotted living along the railroad tracks. I took a walk during my lunch yesterday and I did see a few tracks

A very rare sunny day today. I couldn't help but think of our sun angle trolls when sun-torched spots were dripping away in the 25 degree air
