    It's beautiful out. Obviously I would have liked better ratios but that was completely expected with this storm. Next several hours should be fun

    Already have 1.5" new and the puking snow is hours away. Gonna be a good day.

    Oh wow nice. I was just going by whatever the official numbers were. My memory is foggy where the best stuff was, I just remember it was a good storm here, but epic somewhere to my south. Losing 2 feet in a week, that's east coast style lol.

    I saw that lol

    Ah ok. Basically, our "noteworthy" events this season have been Nov 12, Nov 19, Dec 23, Dec 25, Jan 22, plus the usual traces and random dustings. Since none of them were great, I couldnt remember what was what, I just knew the south burbs were "favored". Regarding the pre-Christmas 2004 storm, I think it was Indiana and southwest Kentucky that were slammed? Cincinnati had 9.4", Detroit had 8.9", & Louisville had 7.8".

    I know you've had less than DTW but there's no way you've had that little. Officially thru today DTW is 11.1" and CVG 13.3". Fwiw in 2004-05 DTW had 63.8" and CVG 24.3". I looked for the heck of it. Since 1892, Cincinnati beat Detroit 12 times, most recently in 1997-98.

    We are trying to reclaim the magnet.

    DTX goes warning for Detroit south, 6-8"

    Pretty pic but I actually was mad to see the sun today. I don't care that it's been cloudy 95% of the time this Winter or that more snow is on the way, I just can't stand to see sun melting snow lol.

    December and January have been about 92% overcast in Detroit, an extremely impressive number, yet the sun decides to come out randomly on a mild day to try and melt snow ahead of the next snow.

    Feb 1965 was definitely a good storm in a fairly boring decade, but I don't get the whole love affair with it from so many people. It dropped 11 to 12" and was fairly long duration. You hear about that more than here about 1974 with almost 20". The 17" storm in 2015 was from a bowling ball type storm though. Maybe that's why those are my favorites.

    If it stays on track Monroe & Wayne County could easily see more than 5". We got 3.7" yesterday with a few good bands from a much, much weaker system.

    Went to my mom's this evening and noticed that a snowman across the street was bowing down to me.

    Total wild card at this point. One thing to keep in mind If we get a good burst and good dendrites it may not matter. Yesterdays snowfall, with temps of 30F-33F the entire time but very good dendrites/rates early on, produced 3.7" snow here on 0.23" liquid. On December 23, we had 2.4" of snow on 0.30" liquid with shredded flakes and temps near 0F.

    Of course. It shifts back-and-forth. In the 1990s your area always had more.

    Looking out my window at a Winter wonderland and seeing heavy snow in the forecast grids for Wednesday. Winter is back!

    To be fair even the models had the heaviest snow in the South burbs. But I think we all exceeded expectations with this one.
  19. michsnowfreak
    The snow kept falling and as night approached it started to stick some more so actually ended up with a total fall of 3.6" here bringing season total to 11.7". DTW had 3.3" bringing season total to 11.0". The flurries tonight are adding a sparkle to the dense snow blanket. The scenery was top notch everywhere you looked today.

    It didn't melt on contact, it melted a bit as temperatures climbed to 33 and the rates slowed down. What was interesting was that grassy areas the snow really collected well, but on the cement it was much wetter and the shovel and plowpiles look like a super wet snow. Wonderful appetizer, now bring on the main course. Oh and 85 and muggy sounds gross lol.
  21. michsnowfreak
    A little bit of melting here now but the grass tips are still fully covered. We did get the most as expected but it seems like the whole area did better than expected.
  22. michsnowfreak
    Very pleasantly surprised today. I honestly was expecting about 1" of slop instead got an absolutely postcard worthy 3.3" of snow. Sounds like around 2" fell to the North of Detroit but the East and South side had the most due to early banding.
  23. michsnowfreak
    Less than 2 hours in we already have more than I expected today. Hopefully it's a good sign moving forward!

    Waking up to white everywhere is so refreshing. It was 23 days since the landscape was white (despite many days of flurries) and its snowing beautifully. The torturous 3 week stretch is over, I don't know how people in more southern climes do it lol.

    In Detroit, 9 of the top 14 snowiest February's have been in the past 15 years; a trend indeed.
