SWMI just needs a Storm. Period

Good luck over there. Got my 1/2" this morning on grass, deck, car etc. SEMI continues with the hot hand.

One can hope it's onto a trend. Last 3 NAM runs:

Euro/GEM/GFS in the upper 980's tonight. It's a start

We need a 1-12-1918 redux. Earliest news accounts of rescuing stranded motorists I've personally seen.

Just how far south are you? Been 32F or below 5X since 9/19 here.

GRR on possible merging/phasing lows for late week..

Last I checked, October 25th is squarely in autumn territory.

When exactly do you see snow for FWA? Thursday/Friday looks wet, but not white.

2011-12 says "hold my beer" :-(

11/5/90 I had15" of concrete at my place while just a few miles away at lake level it was just white rain. And that was only about a 400 foot elev difference.

Nina gonna rock..

Here we scored (3) legit warned storms. Dec 15th was 10", the New Years Eve storm was an 8-10" event, and then the March 21-22 storm that delivered a full 13". Feb didn't feature a biggie despite getting around 30" for the month. And then 08-09, it just got better..more cold and more snow. Actually, for here, 13-14 narrowly edged 08-09 in total snow, but ofc is the hands down winner in days with deep snow cover. 1/6/14, Depth ~22", Temp @ -16F, with a balmy -41F WC

You know what they say about how a drought ends, lol. Good to see the OHV finally turning a corner.

Good point. Would take either of those following winters as well.

'95 was a white Turkey Day, and an even whiter Christmas. #funtimes

This is a 2020 Nina. No point in comparing with the 00's. Thx anyways

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
