    May 1st. This is the 3rd May since 2016 to see snow.

    DTW hit 30, which missed the record by 3°. Freezing fog overnight. Most places in the 20s.

    Good stats. Now I will say that the past 5 years have definitely had an abnormal amount of very late season snow. But I think April expectations are too high in the Great Lakes. A typical April is quite gray and features a roller coaster of temperatures ranging from summer to winter.

    Im going to be doing some research on late snowflakes here. They have absolutely become way more frequent than I remember. lets see how accurate my memory is.

    Lol we did get a widespread white Christmas this past year. Jokes aside though, late spring flakes are definitely common in recent years.

    Incredible!

    95-96 was probably the worst screwzone winter ever for Detroit to Chicago corridor. Cold and dry. Detroits record for snowcover and deep snow depth was, you guessed it, 2013-14.

    Had a torrent of snow/snow pellets/hail earlier. 0.1", came down hard enough to briefly whiten the ground in dip n dots.

    Though it's gloomy today, I got this picture of my mom's magnolia earlier in the week and thought it was a cool contrast from a picture I took march 10th.

    One of the common assumptions about snowfall is that it in places where it is increasing due to more moisture it is melting faster. Just thought Id throw in my Detroit stats, thats really not the case. I only have snowcover data since 1913. Obviously while the snowy period last decade was crazy in many places - and NOT the norm - I dont think Boston has to worry anytime soon about losing snow/winter. I cant even speculate what the future of Great Lakes snowfall will do, but there have been no longterm negative trends. The 2010s were the snowiest decade on record. The 1930s-60s were a bad time for heavy snowfalls in this area.

    Warm front stalled. High 66 here
  13. michsnowfreak
    Same here. 2011-12 was the only sub par Winter of that glorious stretch. It's also the last time Detroit finished a snow season under 30".

    Powerball meant the harsh winters of the 2007-15 period gave snow lovers unrealistically lofty expectations.
  15. michsnowfreak
    April 23-24, 2005 was another impressive one.
  16. michsnowfreak
    Snow showers all day long here but no accumulation. The roller coaster will continue with a freeze tomorrow night, warm thursday, then a cold weekend with more flakes?
  17. michsnowfreak
    A snow/winter lover like you would be better suited living in a Great Lakes climate. Then you could fly home whenever nyc gets a noreaster. It would be the best of both worlds.
  18. michsnowfreak
    I agree. With stuff starting to bloom my allergies have been terrible this week. Spring is my least favorite season. If it's cold let it snow.
  19. michsnowfreak
    Winters chill and snowflakes in the air. While it won't accumulate like the last 3 years, this is the 4th consecutive year (and 5 of the past 6 years) snow has been flying in the April 17-20 time frame.
  20. michsnowfreak
    Although we will not get in on accumulation with this one (though we should see flakes), this marks the 6th straight year an accumulating snow event(s) hit the midwest (and not talking the northwoods) on April 17th or later.

    On this date in 2014, a 3.2" snowfall blanketed Detroit in what was the final measurable snow of the historic 2013-14 season. Snowfall total finished at 94.9" at DTW with 96.2" imby. Toledo, OH received 1.0" of snow, capping their record smashing 86.3" season.

    So glad this ends tomorrow. Too early for this warm and I'm not turning on AC. Have had all the windows open. Gets too cold in the morning, but I do it so it doesn't get as hot in the afternoon. 80 and 20% humidity would be a dream in July.
  23. michsnowfreak
    Speaking of temp swings, there has been very impressive diurnal swings with this warm spell. The radiating areas have been falling into the 40s nightly after hitting 80+ in the afternoon. In fact, ARB was 39 this morning after 82 yesterday. Most of the rest of the area was in the 40s with exception of DTW at 51. This is after low 80s yesterday and likely 80 again today.

    I wouldn't dare post a picture it's so gross, but there was still a small pile of black snow in the blazing sun yesterday at a nearby mall. The once massive pile of snow now had so much dirt and debris on the pavement that they were cleaning and sweeping it.

    We do every year
