That's the one where, had it been like a half degree colder throughout the column, Detroit would have been buried in well over a foot of concrete.

In fact, before the mixing issues eventually happened (as dynamic cooling was doing its thing for a good minute), I recall DTX was strongly considering a Blizzard Warning.

The hills were that 1 degree colder. Most locals got over 10” some over 12”

Outbreak cancel. Y’all should be used to this in Michigan though. 

Yep. Like Clockwork. Every year. Same crap. 

Worst maps ever! Total trash. 
 

Somehow, some mysterious way this area is going to hit average to slightly above by winters end I'm guessing. Lol. 
 

West and NW burbs of Detroit 8-11" 

This is the heaviest snow I've ever pushed in my life 8" of hell

Why? A gulf low running up to along the Ohio River is a historically great track for the lower Great Lakes in general before transferring off the coast. 

It's Toledo.

That storm track looks so damn promising next week for Toledo

I'm going to go on limb here and safely say it'll likely won't work out for Toledo.

Setup has potential for a Milwaukee crusher, but trends die hard. Still a solid chance this will just unravel into another long-duration advisory event (2-4" or 3-6") for the CHI-DET corridor.

What is suggesting that ?

Man I was only 3 yrs old. I do remember snowier winters in the late 80s to 90s as a kid here tho. Btw it's now finally puking flakes and it's time for bed. Hoping to wake up to atleast a few inches ( that's what she said)

Not even close the the second half of the 80’s and most the 90’s was very lame here in far lower Michigan. There is only a few storms in a 10-15 year span that was even noticeable.

We're they ever on with this threat? Pretty pointless starting a thread more than 72 hrs out nowadays. 

What location outside of Michigan

Better off taking the lions over our winters. 

What does this mean 

Jesus Steve. I’ll take Michigan winters pretty much over any other location in the Midwest.

I'm still surprised with the lack of backend/def snows once this thing bombs out. Perhaps as already stated, maybe it's the energy that just went through here in florida last night that is shutting off the gom feed into it? Or the fact that the Arctic air behind it is drying things out a bit in the def bands.

It deepens too late. 

Josh. How many times has DTW beat out ORD since 2000

Steve said that ORD would beat Detroit by 20” I think Detroit is up by 12”. Lmao

That's insane.  The closest I've come to experiencing an event like that was the winter of 12-13 living in Antrim County, NW lower.  12 inches of snow fell in 3 1/2 hours when a dominant Lake Superior connected band parked itself over the western part of the county.

I was heading to the now abandoned sugar loaf west of Traverse City in Jan 97. 14-19” fell in just a few hours. I remember driving from east TC to west TC. It went from flurries to just blinding snow. It was insane. A buddy of mine was so scared he was laying down in the backseat. Lol.
