64-65 was pretty decent. Mby got 13+ from that storm. Ofc I was 8 (mos) and remember only an after photo. @ Detroit. The land of 30+ year Big Dog droughts.

Unfotunately I meant exactly that..

Iiuc we may even be looking at a strong Nina. Tradition says that'd be worse for us. But lately everything has bucked tradition. Counting on this to do the same. I do feel that if winter comes in fast and furious it will leave the same way. By that I mean early.

But, but, you say that every year, lol (seriously tho, trend's our friend. I'm on board)

So you're saying that the GFS actually has a shot then

Thursday, just south of town..

I know KLAN was at -4F that's why I said "around here" or this general region. We share the cold morning lows with them along the US-27 corridor where zero lake influence is in play. That map has us right on the line of -2 to -4F and since there's not long-term data kept here I'm a bit skeptical of the way they've smoothed the curves for my county. Scored 3 nights in a row in the 30s while no airport E or W did that. Happens with those annual avg snowfall maps too. They are all a bit lower. Perhaps due to not including all the <0.5" dabs we get via LES

I was referring specifically to the Jan 12th(??) System that had warning headlines flying for ice and/or snow, neither of which materialized to storm levels. And it was across multiple states not just here in MI. Worst fail in decades. Some offices even issued an explanation or attempted one. Don't think any of the 3 Lower Mich offices did tho

More like a rare "day of" storm warning bust for many NWS offices. Worst seen in decades!

Running -4F around here 2/3 of the way through. That must've been for yby's

Y'all west of the lake don't even know what gloom is. Bonafide rookies lol

00-01 and 05-06. Two ultimate examples of winter terminating post-December

Totally get the jaded part but I can post numerous pre-season outlooks including WxBell's showing '13-14 to be a cold/snowy winter for our region.

In other words...siding with Bastardi lol

Windchills feeling brutal in the Plains for sure

This is drastic? Look west young man..there you will see the true meaning of the word. 0.9" overnight. Perfect

It's the Chinese export that just keeps on giving. Was unemployed by COVID. Now I'm employed by COVID. As The World Turns..

Another 1/2"+ since Tue evening. 69F and steady drizzle attm. Calling dry conditions on the surface ended. However, yesterday I passed a local pond that I was shocked to see dried up. It normally has 12-18" of standing water and you will often see a Blue Heron stalking frogs there. Its definitely been a dry stretch combined with enough heat to make hostile growing conditions. Glad its ending!

Cutting my grass after Friday's rainstorms put an end to the dustiness. There was so much leaf drop it felt like autumn had set in. Just a ton of brown ones confirming the dryness of this month.

That is NUTS! Even i scored 0.8-1.0" based on reports/radar. Won't end dryness but sure better than another whiff

We had that here a few years back. I watched several 80% T-storm likely forecasts in a row just go "poof

Heads-up Ottowa County...looks like your number's up

It ALL begins when Kitchener gets a good drenching. Got a good vibe..

Finally! Its pound-time here. There's hope yet for the Kitchener Crew
