Looks like Lansing had 1.4". I had 7.0". Easily best storm of 1995-96. The cutoff March 20, 1996 was not nearly as extreme as March 25/26, 2002 when 8-12" fell downriver to Monroe, 4-5" DTW, 0 Ann Arbor/Pontiac.,

That 1996 storm was the only true blizzard I w ever seen locally. 1999 wasn’t even a blizzard lol. Still don’t understand to this day why we were under a blizzard warning. Yes. That March storm 2002 there wasn’t a dusting until south of 8 mile. 8-9” at belle isle. 0” at 75 and 8mile cool storm to chase. I had fun

That NW cutoff is brutal though.

Reminds me of a storm we had in March 1996. 10-14” along and north of 59. Lansing. 0”

Huge dent on the snowpack. Went from about 9” otg to start the day to about 4-5” 

About 2.4” since last evening of lake effect. Definitely getting deep here. Figure about foot otg.

LES has been great today.  What beautiful winter day.  

Spent 4 hours out cleaning it all up with the dog out.  Overall heavier snow that was more like 10:1 snow ratio plus yesterday's ice layer made it a bit more work.

Picked up 1.8” from lake effect band this evening. Snow depth around a foot 

5.8” total. 2 day storm 

about 10-11” otg. 
 

this is a house in my in-laws neighborhood a seven-year-old woman she does such a beautiful job shoveling refuses to use a snowblower
 

This isn’t our first bust and this isn’t going to be our last….just the way it is in the lower lakes

2.25” roughly. Solid/legit heavy snow band ripping through. Might end up with 4”. I’ll take it! 

2.5” thus far. Nice little start

I couldn't care less about a blizzard warning. I care about storm total snowfall lol

I don’t care either. I’m just letting people know. It’s been 14 years since the local office has issued a blizzard warning. Of course and never really happened but that’s the last time one was issued.

It’s been 14 years since a blizzard warning in SEMI if anyone is wondering and that was for the flop storm famously known as ….ghd1 

no. They didn’t need to issue one then but they did and that was the last time 

6” total. Nice event overall 

Picked up an 1” so far. Maybe another half inch with the northern piece

The excitement of expecting 5-8".

The disgust at only possibly getting 1"

The relief of getting 3".

All in the same storm. Gotta love models.

MSP picked up 3-8” across the entire metro area. South MSP was forecasted to be on the low end

Wow aiming high haha. Both months were cold. Feb 1985 had 16.9" of snow with a peak depth of 12" and Feb 2021 had 21.4" with a peak depth of 14".

Actually 2020-21 had some fun times. An underrated winter imo

U can start that snow depth with the 0.6” of snow tomorrow.

This result would certainly be akin to that month for my region!

10:1 not fluffed-up 

Depth:

BAM always comparing a pattern change to some historical pattern.

^ sidewalk and street look really wet. Heavy wet snow?

It went from heavy rain to heavy snow in minutes. It was nuts. Lots of places just north of me got even more. 

2.2” tonight 

Over the last 2 winters, combined. With a total of 12 months of possible measured snows ….DTW has experienced a significant snowfall deficit, receiving only 37.5 inches of snow, which is 33 inches below the average of 70.5 inches for that period.

If it wasn’t for Lake Michigan Detroit would be at 5 to 7 inches on the year. Thankfully we do have Lake Michigan to our west and much of SEMI has had 12-30” 

Everyday!!  31-32 and full sun almost all day… But hold on!! Wicked evening snow. 25 out 26 days I believe of snow.

Even DTX gets it lol:

Friday night through Saturday night will be one of those MI winter
days with multiple chances for show showers, higher POPs, but with
little QPF/snow amounts most likely.

Picked up 3/4” today so far. 

Everyday

It definitely has been very wintery around here.  While there has not been any major storms we have been able to consistently see snow.  Thank you Great Lakes!!!!

Snows everyday in a cold pattern. It’s unbelievable really
