  1. Definitely not as widespread as other models show. Only for a very small area would that be the biggest storm of this Winter.
  2. Anywhere between 4-7" of snow fell while i was up in munising. Just awesome scenes
  3. It should have been the title of every event this winter lol
  4. Oh wow. I remember when Madison was the snow magnet in 2006-2008. Weve eclipsed 13" several times since 2011, though not this year (peak 9").
  5. I'm at 9.2" on the month I think and peak obs time depth has been 3". January peak depth was 6", December peak depth 1", November peak depth 9" lol.
  6. Enjoying TON of snow in Munising, on the Lake Superior shoreline. But this is actually quite a mild Winter up here for them as well, as I always say it's all relative lol.
  7. Good luck and best wishes. Will miss your posting! Pop in once in a while will you?
  8. I'm in the UP enjoying feet of snow, but sounds like we did get less than half an inch of wet snow yesterday at home, I'll est 0.3". 1 to 2" in the northern burbs as you alluded to. That's your how much of your snow would survive, but I'm know I will come home to just piles tomorrow.
  9. Picked up 0.1" of snow last night. 30.6" on the season here, 30.8" at DTW. Headed north to the UP today! There will be snow on the ground the entire way for the trip up (trip home wed will prob be just piles from flint south). Accumulating snow expected up there Monday night
  10. Sunny, cold and dry the last few days. Love the crisp, dry, frigid winter air thats been all too rare this winter.
  11. February still only the 3rd snowiest month of the season imby, but they are close. Oct- T Nov- 9.1" Dec- 2.6" Jan- 10.0" Feb- 8.8" midway thru
  12. 4F at DTW, coldest of the season, finally erasing the mark of 7F from Nov 13
  13. While today's snow was far down on the list of exciting snows this season, taking a walk in fresh snow never gets old.
  14. Finished with exactly 2.0" here. Up to 30.5" on the season. DTW with 2.1", 30.7" on the season. Definitely a bit of a low bust, but one whose writing was on the wall before the snow even began. This one was weird in that the snow did not stick much to the pavement as temperatures were near freezing, so it blanketed everything, giving even dirty old snowbanks a fresh velvety look, but wetting the pavement. Then as soon as the snow ended temps plummeted, causing black ice everywhere.
  15. After the November 11 storm way overperformed and the Jan 18 storm met expectations, i laughingly thought this would be the season when Winter storms got better within short range. Since then its the frequency of snow has picked up but every event (except LES) has ended up much less than it first looked.
  16. Looks like a long duration 3-4" here.
  17. Sun was out most of the day today and the high hit 40゚, once again taking the snow cover down to a trace in the afternoon. Still lots of piles and quite a few patches, but more areas now bare than not. It won't last long as snow returnstmrw evening, but this just has not been the season for uninterrupted snowcover. Today was our 30th day with 1"+ on the ground at 7am, avg for the entire season around 50 days. Tomorrow night and Thursday, barring some massive bust, season snowfall will eclipse the 30" mark as well. Saw this snowman today lol, he did not like the sun.
  18. Wow I did not even realize that. I do remember the one day where we hae a midnight high and afternoon temps in the teens but still. That should end friday. Just 2 winters ago we set a record for the longest streak of consecutive days without hitting 20゚. Even winters that are warmer than this have managed a day or two with a colder max. The record for warmest minimum high temp for a season is 20, set in 1952-53, 1997-98, 2005-06.
  19. Most people had horrible forecasts. SE MI may end up with a little more snow than avg, thats definitely still on the table...but LOL at normal temps and snow around the holidays, i wish!
  20. My personal favorite is when there is NOT agreement a few days out and the model camps then swap ideas. For example, 4 days out the American models will be north and strong and the foreign models south and weak, then 2 days out the American models will be south and weak and the foreign models will be north and strong.
  21. I LOVE your videos! Have the camera handy for Wednesday night hopefully. Did you video the November storm? Or the mid January storm?
  22. How ironic, all those great winters we were having in this sub forum Toronto was often sitting on the sidelines, now in a Winter when so many want to pull their hair out Toronto is well above average to date. DTW is at 28.6", which is actually 1.6" above average to date (Flint is more above avg). Still need about 14" to get to the season total average, but with as many things as I can complain about the way this winters gone, total snowfall is not one of them. My backyard is almost a match at 28.5", although it's a product of a few tenths more or a few tenths less on many snow falls.
