Hit 20F this morning

Figured we were well below normal for DJF.

Not really. Pretty normal temps.

Going from a foot, to 4-8 to 2-4 so fast is just this winter in a nutshell 

You might not see an inch. I might not see 1.5

Pretty normal month, but should be able to chip into the negative departure and keep the above normal streak alive.

hottest year in modern history and looks like we're gonna escape the summer without a death ridge

should probably consider ourselves lucky

We slowly cook these days. I haven't exceeded 94F since 2021.

5.66 and counting.

You mean that poorly sited PWS that's surrounded by trees

Wednesday when the original post was made

Howell airport KOZW was actually 88 when my PWS was at 88.7.

All the PWSs in the area were within 1F on the high.

Stebo gatekeeping weather data

EDIT: I had those reversed. My PWS was warmer than the airport.

The one that's within 0.3F annually of the other 10 surrounding stations.

Another cloud induced bust for me.

I was really hoping to hit an all time high temp mark on the PWS. That 93.9 is looking safe so far.

Toledo had 99 yesterday (broke a record), 93 today.  It was 100 and 96 intra-hour high temps at Toledo's KTDZ. This airport seemingly has been running just a bit higher than TOL for a while. And it's always possible this isn't an equipment bias.

Topped out at 87° yesterday in Howell. 

That's a huge temp gap given the distance isn't that far.

bottomed out at 39 this morning imby

hopefully the last 30s until fall here

Flint running +15 on the month.

Will we beat 2012?

5-6 inches in Howell.

They average more strictly from Lake Erie influence. It isn't a snow hole just because its not in the snowbelt. There are actually places in the banana belt of the upper peninsula & northeast Lower peninsula of  michigan that average around or slightly less know than Detroit or Pittsburgh (but more snowcover). Detroit averages 7-8" more than Toledo, but it's more extreme in warm winters, with last year being a great example. It's like the old saying, sometimes you have to smell the rain to get the best snow. That was the case last winter. Some great storms and snowfall rates but not for cold and snow cover

I'm not sure about this. The lowest is probably near Escanaba, but even they average at least 70. It goes WAY up as you go north from there.

This is not accurate. I easily had more than 5 inches.

Yea one minute it's heavy snow, next its rain. Always riding that line here on the east side it seems.

I'm at 32 in Howell.

Detroit is above freezing at 3000Ft.

Oh I know. I just meant early on. A few hours of temperature spike and dry slot are imminent.

The dry-slot on the GFS has Howell as a low spot in Michigan.

If we don't lose the snow currently on the ground it should help.  Starting from bare wet ground 

There's a possibility of something interesting. I think the best spot in Michigan will be around Houghton Lake.

I am hoping we can get a 6" or so solid/glacier like base on the ground which the LES will freshen up.  

Temp will probably top out around 35. It's hard to say, but I'm not expecting much now.

the drying trend across 12z bad for everybody

It's the too-far-from-the-ocean moisture adjustment.

Just give me 4+ for the cold. I want to set a decent low for 2024.
