1.5" today and the 19th straight day below freezing. That streak is scheduled to end tomorrow just as my snowpack is looking the best so far. Expecting to loose/settle a lot of it by Thursday evening when the cold shot makes it way back in here. Been a great stretch really.

8” otg with 16” drift in the back garden. It means boots required conditions to reload my bird feeders. Beautiful winter day this afternoon.

Drove thru a drift back in November on a side street and a sheet of snow flew up on my windshield - most fun since I owned snow sleds years back. I understand why you like it LOL

Warm ground really hurts. These sudden plunges into a snowy pattern seem like a win but don't allow time for the ground to freeze properly. Jan '24 ground was so warm our solid 10" storm was down to 6" just 3 days later when the 2nd storm hit. I never realized GHD-1 melted off so quickly over there.

Same model games we just endured the last 48 hrs

Two day new snow here is 7-8" and its a winter wonderland out there. Never got out of the mid-20's and flakes were more like tiny LES again. Nothing says winter like a solid snow on top of a decent snowpack.

The good old front-end thumper for SMI. Should stay all snow and avoid dreaded melting for Harrison. Clipper 1 was a solid 2" and on the high end of forecast for a change. Snowpack was quite withered after 9 days with warm ground eating from beneath. Great to be back. See if this one can sneak those top shelf rates up here too.

-3 at home, -17 at work in Grayling with co-worker reporting he had -20F along the lowlands eastward.

That Civil Danger WARNING - is that due to your governor?

vs 58" two counties west - yeah ouch. Marshall came back with some great months for me during my 19 yrs there but missed the biggest one by 17 mos moving there in May of '02.

Not even 1/3 of the way so outcomes rivaling 2000 are still on the table. Tbh, I thought DTW was kinda screwed out of a lot of the big action in 2000.

@michsnowfreak I did better with the Nov storm but you've now gotten 360% of my Dec total. It's all relative, lol. Certainly right there with you regarding life in the shadow of IA/IL/WI hot zone. Other than Dec '74 Detroit is not known as huge front end winter paradise. More so the back half. Your F/M/A avg's are better than I had in Marshall.

After watching the last two systems miss SW I'm hoping to at least catch you IL crew this week.

Where did CAD go all of a sudden?
