Surface temps will be in the mid 30’s at the start. Sounds very familiar

Im not a good analog person lol. I can tell you how much snow fell when, but cant tell you the origin of it. I mean, we got 16.7" from a bowling ball type storm GHDII and have had many gulf lows produce the general 6-12.

 

Also, will be interesting to see how LES performs in the storms wake.

Best analog potentially is the 1992 storm. 

At that time there wasn’t local spotters to measure snow so you had to rely on local news to give you reports, but I do remember a reporter stationed in Taylor Michigan saying that he measured 14 inches of snow on the ground. My dad said it was over a foot. I was young I had a bed time so I can’t give any more details. lol

I remember this storm.  Arctic air raced across michigan during the storm and caused a rapic change over from heavy rain to crazy wind and snow.  I stayed up all night for the transition and it was epic.  Even had Lightning and thunder here in toledo.  

I don’t remember rain in this system. What I remember it started at 11 o’clock. It started heavy and ended heavy. It was like eight hour show. 10-15” fell across SEMI. 2 days off of school. 

Just sayin…

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.

I would love another footer in the bag, but I dont think I am at 5 yet  since 99 which is when I was old enough to really remember events.

11 systems of 12” in northern oakland county since 1999
