  1. Didn't get that icicle look from freezing rain, as it was 32-33 all night, but the ground was cold enough that pavements were slick.
  2. That's good. At least there's plenty of ice on the many lakes around you to enjoy!
  3. This has been a VERY solid stretch of deep winter for a strong nino!
  4. It's funny how things even out. After a parade of snowstorms and a top 5 snowy winter last year, South Central Minnesota is in a snow hole this year.
  5. I wonder if his palms enjoyed the below zero temps and -30° wind chills or the thick blanket of snow more?
  6. Went on a winter walk before today's Lions game. I could honestly handle the frigid air all winter long.
  7. Bo knows me lol. I did not pay much attention to that band as we had back to back days with snow here (2.8 + 2.3) plus I worked. I knew the models were cranking out a lot of Lake effect. But I did not pay attention to the results. was wondering how widespread those 30-inch plus totals were.
  8. Neighbor builds a backyard ice rink every winter. Some winters are better skating than others obviously, but they had a skating party last night.
  9. Deep winter morning today. DTW hit 2°, but once again below zero in spots (DTWs low this month is -3°). Love the crisp, cold air and fresh snow. Even had a frost design on my window.
  10. It was mostly sugary, small-flake synoptic snow, but then at the end we got Lake Huron enhancement (photo with the big flakes). Yesterday's snow was 2.3" with 0.13" liquid.
  11. Got another 2.3" yesterday. Have now seen 14.0" in January. Really enjoying this stretch of deep winter, since I know they don't last in strong ninos. So pretty outside!
  12. Ghd II (Feb 1-2, 2015) dropped 16.7" at DTW, biggest storm since 1974.
  13. Yesterday's snow here was fluffy. 2.8" on 0.14" liquid. But I know further north it was more sugary.
  14. Sugary snow so far today. Watching for some huron enhancement later. This is the 6th snow system in 8 days here. Very solid for a strong nino!
  15. This is actually quite a good stretch for a strong nino.
  16. Winter has made quite a comeback. Picked up a fluffy 2.8" of snow this morning with round one, and DTW had 2.5". It's been nice to have snow on snow on snow this week!
  17. 0.6" of sugar snow fell overnight, and the Arctic looking sun this morning made for a beautiful winter morning. January snowfall today is 9.2" at DTW and 8.9" imby.
  18. I have a few friends in the UK and likewise, they literally cannot comprehend the weather that we get in Michigan. They don't necessarily understand the US as a whole, just my area, and the amount of snow and cold we see in the winter and the amount of heat & humidity in the summer is insane to them.
  19. Me too. I love the tundra atmosphere of a frozen landscape.
  20. After picking up 4.6" of cement snow, rain, and a flash freeze friday night, another 1.5" fell at DTW blowing ad drifting everywhere on Saturday. Then Sunday, January 14th was the 1st sunny day we have seen since December 15th! Season to date snowfall has now climbed to 11.1" at DTW and 10.3" Imby.
  21. Went to bed friday night hearing drip drip outside, then woke up saturday morning and heard the howling wind. As expected, the 4+ inches of extremely wet snow compacted about nearly in half then froze solid, with new wind whipped snow drifting around. Ice everywhere.
  22. DTW just rose above 0 after 13 hours. This cold snack is extremely impressive for a strong nino. Took this picture of the frozen landscape at sunset last night.
