I was bagging on Central Iowa not even a week ago saying what a painful place to live. If you like snow and you guys get 15 inches. Can’t make this up it would take Detroit 15 days to get 15 inches of snow and with it snowing every day

0.7” to 1.3” dusters are back !!!

Living outside of the Lakes region for example like madison, the Quad Cities, Rockford. Even the western suburbs of Chicago. Would be frustrating to me to go days and sometimes several weeks without measureable snows. especially coming from SE Michigan, where lake-effect bursts and clippers usually give you something to track every week or two around you and watch the radar southern Michigan snows every other day while Madison and Rockford blue skies for 2-3 weeks in the same cold pattern that would drive me crazy and I know places like Minneapolis and Madison averages more than DTW but that’s DTW many places west and north of DTW averages much more outside the belts the Hills north of detroit averages 60” yes I know detroit sucks and big snowstorms (Erie Basin effect)

44% of the 36.3 DTW received was under 2” events.

DTW has picked up 16.1” of snow (0.1–1.9” events) over 28 days — accounting for about 44% of the season total (36.3”).

Came into this thread to say. That it is a strange looking radar around CHI.

Full Sun out today. It’s been a very VERY long time since we’ve seen a full sunny day in SEMI

It was very painful. Worst 9”-10” snowstorm of my life. It's like watching your stock drop significantly after you just put a shit ton of money on. lol. It was that feeling.

i’m pretty sure the day before it started it was showing actually 12 to 18 inches before the trends NW TWC forecast was 9 to 15 inches

That was a storm. I was trying to remember the other day in Lake Orion. We ended up with around 11 inches of snow. But just to my north towards Frankenmuth they had 19 inches from that system cause that was the other location that I remember that was close to 20 inches for a storm.

Jan 4-6th. 16.8” with that system. Do you want to take away the squalls that we had early morning on the sixth? Then It was 15.3 inches. That’s a big dog. Locally

Even if we didn’t get a 6 hour dry slot or pingers whatever it was. We would’ve still ended up with 10-16” area wide. We don’t have a second moisture source.

We did have 2 shots at 20” that come to mind. 1 was in April 2005. If it happened three weeks sooner, we would’ve had 20 to 30 inches of snow but of course it happened on the last week of April that year still had 16 inches but it only collected at night. The other. The other was a perfect set up. It happened in February 2013. We had almost 2 inches of QPF temperatures around 30 to 32° for most of the event ratios were between three and four to one. Ended up with 5-6” of the wettest snow ever.

I’m pretty sure Dayton has had several storms of near 18 inches or above it
