    Thanks, they're the ONLY thing that have delivered here in mby, so I'm quite optimistic actually. Also, this is not coming as much due south from the arctic dryness. Oh, and btw, whatever the NAM's smoking I wouldn't mind this for Friday either

    Ofc, I will gladly take any synoptic snow that Friday wants to deliver, but Sunday night/Monday clipper has my attention, and apparently GRR's as well: - Another snow event Sunday night into Monday Yet another low is forecast to move northeast into our area from the Mid Mississippi valley on Monday. Several inches of accumulation look possible with this system.

    Dusting my way to 20"

    Lucky we at least have the Lions to help the zzz's

    I got what your original posting focus was, but others thought you just meant snowfall vs bigger storm winners/losers. 3/3/23 was my only quality storm in NW Wayne burbs during my 3 winters there fwiw.

    You've done better than me up here, lol. Just under 2" fell, then strong winds have blown the lake fluff in any open area plus the usual fast compaction. If it weren't for clipper hits, I might have less snow than @michsnowfreak has to date.

    Uhm, SMI just had up to 2 INCHES liquid last weekend. Which is precip last time I checked. We've suffered horrible temp pattern as much or more than a lack of moisture.

    That late 70's hang-over winter. I ofc have mentioned it more than once. Why do people remember the tri-fecta 77/78/79 winters more than any other single winter? Because, even if 2 of 3 weren't great snow seasons for DTW, those winters were making headlines in nearby places like Buffalo and Chicago. Those winters scored a lot of historic news headlines for our region, tho as you've said, Detroit was never the bullseye as in 13-14.

    My Feb 2015: 26.9" snow, CAT-4 Big Dog storm, Blizzard, and five days with dbl-digit below zero readings. An honest to goodness winter month if ever there was one. I'd gladly take a repeat. Edit - forgot to mention excellent deep snow cover thrown in for good measure.

    CPC with a slight risk of a heavy snow swath on their 8-14 day map. That's as high as you can go for now. As posted, these windows have flashed before and didn't work out. Have to give it some time to trend better or join the scrap heap of prior fails.

    IF this manages to thread the needle, it would be crazy short considering the drums were beat that it would be ruining winter. Finally lost my snow this morning. I expected it to be gone b4 Christmas a week ago.

    Sorry for crappy cell pic, but Merry White Christmas to everyone!

    Might be the first such fantasy storm of the winter:

    Not setting any records (imby), but yeah, it's been cold with at least some snow cover 24 days since the arctic intrusion at Thanksgiving. And I have 5-5 1/2" depth for my Whitest Christmas in 7 yrs. Hard to complain with this past decade of duds.
  15. RogueWaves
    Awaiting a final call but pretty sure I went AN for the season after today's storm. Iirc when this system was first flashed it was just a rainer here so score one for #winter

    Boxing Day Blizzard of 2012?
  17. RogueWaves
    That's what holiday lights are for, lol. They do help my mood anyways

    My coldest December morning (-10F) since December of 2013 downstate. We took the "cold cake" in GRR's CWA. I'm in a low spot down at lake level vs what they show for Harrison. The "hoar frost" was impressive but I wasn't dressed to go out and snag a photo.
  19. RogueWaves
    -3F here attm. The Clipper held together pretty well for a lot of S and Central Mich. And with the bulk falling over night, it wasn't trashed by traffic and salt trucks so the parking lot piles are unusually pristine white and it's been cold so remain fresh. Not record setting, but so much better than most of our Dec's of late. Despite a couple torchy thaws, all the lakes are ice and snow covered. Not sure about large ones like Houghton but the lakes here I see daily.

    Some 6-7" totals close to GR. Yet another synoptic storm miscue. They have said they prefer forecasting LES events because it's more straightforward - cold wind blows over warm lake = snow Sorry. I do NOT miss Wayne county winters. Wintry paradise this evening up here. Maybe Monday evening will deliver? SEMI's been known to get some of their best thumps as it's about to warm up.
  21. RogueWaves
    Sort of seems like that right? ENSO background (or expected) and that's it. While the precip screams Nina, I think they tinker more with temps.
  22. RogueWaves
    Didn't that happen a few days before the infamous Chicago bliz of '67? Even had a TOR in WI iirc
  23. RogueWaves
    Crazy that on the opposite corner of The Mitt I was living the snowiest non-stop winter of my life with 220+ inches in mby. I don't think I travelled downstate that season because we hosted holiday gatherings. I never knew of the contrast. Oh, and Traverse mostly got shafted by the LES event in December that literally buried The Sault, or it could've been even more insane.
  24. RogueWaves
    And I thought Feb 2015 was cold
  25. RogueWaves
    I remember the early Feb sunshine and warmth (with snow piles yet). It suddenly felt like being let out of arctic jail. Had news route back then and had to be out in it every day for weeks on end. Good thing I was young and didn't realize having blue fingers wasn't normal. Not a super deep snow, but there was enough to ride snowmobiles where I was in Davison.
