michsnowfreak Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 After a winter of deep powder, March has now brought two plastering snowstorms in less than a week. The old snow had been washed away Wednesday (except piles), and as that rainstorm turned into a huge rainmaker in the northeast, a narrow band of heavy deformation snow backed in over far eastern MI into OH, creating another beautiful snowfall. Its been a long winter, but mornings like this make me NOT want spring! Had 4.3" of snow this morning, which was the 7th snowstorm of the season to drop more than 4 inches, season total at 68" which is more than 2 feet above normal. Since February 1st, weve had 6.45" of precip and 40.8" snow. continue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukrocks Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Great pictures! I'm jealous! I was hoping to sneak another snowstorm down here in Kentucky in the early days of this month but that didn't pan out. I'll just live with snow through pictures. My favorite one is the last one with all the snow caked to the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Thanks guys. Been a fantastic winter here, 68.1" of snow and 81 days with 1"+ snow on the ground. Only days with 0 snowcover at obs time since beginning of dec were Jan 1-4 and Feb 19-20, but we went down to 0 today (just piles)....sad to see a fantastic winter go. Oh there will be more flakes and maybe a surprise or two, but winters back is surely broken. Officially at Detroit so far, 67.5" ranks at 6th snowiest winter (normal 44") and at 80 days of 1"+ snowcover ranks as 9th whitest winter (normal 49 days).

ukrocks Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 You probably have green grass by now. Yep the grass came alive this week. That is when I'm pretty much done with snow and this when the trees and grass comes alive again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhotoGuy Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Awesome Pics! Wet snow always makes for the best photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Thanks again guys, and I have to agree about wet snow...its sloppy but makes the BEST photos. My favorite snow is powder, but I say start and end the season with the picturesque plaster, with the powder all in between Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
