I thought KTOL was like ground zero for the FEB '21 storm. As posted above, DTW hit 11" and was certain you posted that your depth was something crazy like 20+ inches afterwards.

I did fine, yes. I was actually one of those in the right place but I think many on here were too far away from the Detroit magnet that month. I think more shared in Dec of 2016 as relates to good snows.

As said, twas the early Feb storm that was the mega bust. You've got 50 years of data telling you that a map with more than 12" for DTW is only warranted once or twice in that timeframe. Idk what they were thinking tbh issuing those 12-18" calls? Ride history and 48 out of 50 times you'll be correct.

IF you were in the right place. Also, there have been others in the last 12 years: 2010, 2013, 2016 at the least. Still, majority have been crap.

I was wrong. Initial forecast map from GRR only showed 6-8" for BC and Kzoo thru Friday with a mention of additional accum's Sat night/Sunday. If they issued a later map for both rounds I didn't catch that one.

Going into MET winter flipping the switch to wetter here finally?

Upper end of forecast would be the wettest event since Feb at DTW.

Sad, but true. This Sunday's system has a shot at being the single wettest event since 2-17. If that doesn't paint the picture, I can't help explain it further.

Chedda Curtain peeps could thread a needle?

10d Euro would bring some much need moisture here. Would be the wettest in months and at least begin to pull the region out of drought status. Nina effects beginning to show.

All key Indices are pointing cold. Hopefully we can a favorable system or 2 to go along with.

Wondering why they didn't use the new Squall Warning headline? Seemed like the perfect opportunity.

DTW hit 16F overnight b4 torching up at 45F and sunshine this afternoon. Surprised at the amount of snow that survived. Several days at or below freezing packed a punch on soil temps.

Guessing you mean "text"? P sure I saw a map with BC in the 8-12 range. Congrats on the record event and personal biggest btw

Buffalo needs time to dig out

Must be a Nino

Tied with eastern UP Dark purple area shows how anomalous that snow was for SMO, SIL and SIN

Going by GRR's storm totals map I'd guesstimate 9 or 10". Half of what BC had, but so much better than Nov of 2014. This brings up my normal rant about that office's headlines policy. While I lived there we saw multiple 7" in <12 hours synoptic events that were WWA's, while this took 3-1/2 days to get 9+ of light weight LES and had a warning. There's just something so not copasetic about that.

Too bad many of them led to things like Decembers that were total dumpster fires

Was dumping for a hot minute last night. Not as much as others had in the area but with the ground cooled off a couple days prior, it wasn't melting from below like the usual Nov snows. Looked like a nice January day. That could be winter.

Yeah, thought you did good then too. That Warning couldn't even cover the grass blades in Marshall. What a disappointing event for me. Looks like this one is treating Marshall much better and will end with a bang tonight. Have you seen any reports from there?

1st legit rippage of the season here attm. 12k NAM gonna nail it with its call of 1-1.5"

Used to be Uncle Ukie's role

Was a couple counties north today and when the new snow began the WC was 11F. Enough winds to lift the couple inches that were on the fields into swirling ground squalls. Drifts were happening in earnest and the real feel was like a solid January day. Just standing outside to pump gas was brutal.

MSF can correct if I'm wrong but looks like my 1st winter headline of the season is an SWS Special Weather Statement Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI 743 PM EST Sat Nov 19 2022 MIZ068>070-075-076-200230- Livingston MI-Macomb MI-Oakland MI-Washtenaw MI-Wayne MI- 743 PM EST Sat Nov 19 2022 ...A BAND OF HEAVY SNOW WILL AFFECT LIVINGSTON...OAKLAND...MACOMB...
