Kinda surprising we don't see this more often tbh. At least we get the other 3.5 seasons here

Surprised. No talk of Morch?

Bragger, eh?

When did it live? I missed it that day

And the lame 90's hosed SEMI it would appear.

* "in spots" is a term often applied to the North American regions known as MSP and BUF

Yeah, you Chicagoans (and surrounding CWA's) got the real-deal SEMI treatment by the models. I'm trying to get used to it, but not sure that's ever gonna happen.

K, I looked and yeah I too scored 18" in Marshall with a mostly warm month. But you'd have to agree that chips need to fall just right to get that outcome and unlike 17-18, this ongoing pattern hasn't been as friendly. To your other post from LC. I agree, each month's "arctic blast" is longer than the previous, thus Dec's was longer than November's. It is still an "arctic blast" or nothing temp regime and we have to get much luckier in the storm timing dept than we were this time around.

Sorry, I don't trust mild for this region. Prove me wrong - anyone

Winter in Detroit. Brace yourselves!

Not for me back in Marshall. Tho I got to see it visiting my sister's place in Birch Run.

Imagine if he lived in the balmy Mitten! There's a nursery with palm trees lining the front along Ford Rd. He should ditch SEWI and get somewhere he can really get behind, lol

But who cares? Really?

Cooler and tolerable summer. Hardly ran the A/C which was nice. Too much gives me sinus issues. One strong T-storm the entire warm season. Combined with C-19 last January, 2022 is a most forgettable year. Goodbye and good riddance! Edit: First White Christmas in 5 years was good too ofc

Book it

If you don't live in the Dakotas, MSP, KBUF or some other LES region, there hasn't been a "winter"

I can't be at home every hour of the day so my measuring isn't perfect, but what I recorded last winter was only 35.6" or 79% of the 45" annual average I find for DTW. A far cry from what you got down that way. You did better in almost every storm/event last winter. Sometimes sig better. Canton seemed to draw the short straw in all but the clipper regime. S Streamers and LES failed pretty badly for me here. And every time I thought maybe it was "just me" and due to being at work when things switched to mix or rain. Then I'd see another report from here that confirmed my low number(s). Hoping this is just a blip, and things will reverse at some juncture. But Idk, this may just be low-ball heaven like Macomb Cnty is on that annual snowfall map.

I wrote an inch, but I think it was more on the order of 1.5" and another 1/2" was in my footprints when I got back in town.

DTX. Kickin it w/TX, SWMO, & the Carolinas . I made a joke post before that it was good they didn't upgrade to a BW for blowing dust. But by what someone posted about whiteouts in the Thumb region and how plows were being pulled and no emergency responders after dark, I think they could've/should've upgraded some of those counties tbh.

Odd that I am posting here, but I woke to 1" of fresh LES on Christmas morning. Headed to my sister's place in Birch Run early and it was still snowing. Nobody on the roads. Hit some heavier stuff near Brighton and x-way was covered. Everything white. Was almost Courier and Ives gorgeous. Thought I was in NMI for a moment. Not a Big Dog, but certainly a unique dog. Drifts in the farmlands were 2-6 foot. Great day despite the icy-dicey roads.

Outside of LES zones, this wasn't a Big Dog. Just too damned dry. Been that way around here all year.

Obvious trend is not your friend on this one. Baroclinic zone seems nice and tight up in MT where it really looks good, then it just washes out heading SE.

Hoosier also banned from starting storm threads. Drought threads ok.
