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.

1800's: "Fluke..I am your father!"

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.

As far as I'm concerned, they can lose Wind Advisories without anyone noticing. The last two here have been a day most accurately described as "breezy" in traditional lingo. Those in the business of moving large plate glass into place might disagree, but what percent of the population do they represent? That tiny tiny minority can always seek private wx data.

I don't think there was an I-94 focused winter during the 70's like we had this century. As said, the jack-zone against averages seems to have been a couple counties north where I was. As for double-digit snow cover days, for Marshall it goes like this: #1: 1981-82, #2: 1903-04, #3: 2013-14

@ logging a winter under 0.5" total snowfall

Most of last winter was clippers delivering the goods here. They aren't extinct, just on the "rarely sighted" list

Way back (March 1900 or 1908) was the golden era iirc. Something crazy like 32" fell in the city inside of 7 days. Different times obv.

Good call. I've recorded 4.3" as LES here.

What a difference a few counties west makes. During the 3 seasons you didn't score a 6+ event here in Wayne Cnty, I scored 5: Jan 27/28, 2004: 7.8" Nov 29, 2011: 8.5" Nov 22, 2015: 12.5" Feb 24/25, 2016: 11.6" Mar 1-3, 2016: 7.0" The #wildtimes were 14/15/16 winters with a total of 14 Storm Warnings in Marshall during those 3 winters. I'm sure that beats even the vaunted 70s for number of storms in any 3 winter stretch.

Soooo close! yet so far away for Chicago Peeps

We just had one that didn't fall apart, but actually held serve. Wasn't as big as it could have been with mid-20s temps, but it was a legit warning level event. For me personally, I cannot count the 3 other warned events as legit (all were sub-6" and more like a good WWA). Going back to Feb '21 that gets me 2 legit storms in two calendar years. I'm not on fire, lol. As you noted, those just south have had it even worse overall. There's always that to beat our chests over I suppose. As you also said, the model trash has been brutal making things feel worse than it actually is.

Posted the same thing with a comment about how that's been a common theme in recent winters. We be in the sux zone lately after a strong run.
