Can anyone name a storm that had more counties of MI in a winter headline??

Gotta expect some bumps with the overnight issuance. I don't have a good feel for how robust the grid is since I'm new there and the wx has been mostly a snooze-fest in every season. Marshall was pretty robust with their own power generation system. It took a lot of trees coming down to be in the dark (May 2011 near twister, 11-13-17 severe). I have no benchmark. All I know is if my wife and pets are sitting in the dark unheated apartment, that'd be a bad thing. At least with the place in Marshall we could fire up a couple burners on the gas stove for a little bit of heat. Did that more than once. No such option now.

So technically, DTX's icing map actually already has the far NW corner of Wayne (aka mby) in the same shading as those to my SW in the ISW. Not liking this at all.

Explains why I didn't remember April of 2018. Apparently south (Marshall) was spared.

I drove through the tree in Albion. The same morning a Marshall fireman did the same thing north of Marshall and was killed.

I edited my post to say the last bad one I remember for Calhoun was Dec of 2006. There were one or two more in early '07 and a minor one during the mid-Feb 2011 storm. Dec '06 could've cost me my life as I drove my car straight through a massive tree downed across the entire road in the dark.

Overnight read from DTX should be kinda interesting.

Maybe not for Calhoun. Remember, we dodged a major bullet with the Dec 2013 ice storm. Might be time to pay for that. Dec '06 almost took me out (nearly totalled my ride). That's the last bad one I remember for Calhoun.

Last 4 runs of the NAM centered around 0z Thursday. Ice-Ice baby!

I'm up in Traverse attm. Oh, and I'm supposed to get home tomorrow through this:

Uggh. All the latest maps are concerning to say the least. I am far NW Wayne, so if there is one spot of the county that could lean warning, that would be the place. Last week's storm trended just far enough south to get us a nice tree glazing and some icy car tops. This following the same trend.

82-83 was my first experience with strong Nino's. I remember MSP just getting slammed non-stop (actually it was Denver to MSP). Which is kinda weird since strong Nino's are supposed to be "warm and DRY" for the Norther tier. SEMI was chucked a bone on the first day of spring with a dbl digit storm for KFNT and mby.

And you've got some hills in AA

Unless DTX's current forecast is a bust (in an icy way), it looks like cozy Wayne will allow me to escape the dreaded power outages that look immenent beginning just to my west (Washtenaw) and back your way along 94. Meanwhile, expecting 2-3" here by morning, then snow continues all day.

If DTW and Wyandotte had my numbers (in red) you wouldn't be quite so chipper. And this year isn't going any where, sorry. Doubtful I hit 20"

He just needs to give it up. More winter isn't happening this year for the ORD->DTW corridor. But he doesn't want spring either.

Been 3 yrs of well BN for me personally. To the point where I'm joining Jonger's club not looking forward to the season in SMI since it's one long endless dreary autumn.

Just going off my grid-cast when I last checked.

You had more or less the same with one or both LES events

Not sure which is the bigger joke? One day below freezing during 2 wks mid-winter, or being in a Watch for 100% chance of RN

Yep. I'll get my full 1" of that GFS run as usual

So, we're shooting for sleet. 12-28-15 was great but don't see the stout cold we had going for us with that. No GEOS either

No. Guy from down south visiting Chicago. See his sig yearly totals.
