Make that 1 good SNOW storm. My biggest snowstorm this Winter was 6.1", and it was a nice storm. MET winter has actually been quite active (snow, ice, rollercoaster) since mid Jan. The first half of met winter was train wreck and no snowstorm in the world can make up for that. Im about long steady winters. Getting.a 3 foot snowstorm in march does not erase a brown December. That said....let it snow!

Agree with you that getting zero snow for 6 wks of MET winter is "inexcusable", nonetheless 4 storms and a couple surprise LES events have managed to find mby so my largest gripe is the rapid torch-offs when we did get decent snowfall. Back in 82-83 it was much worse. Waited all winter without enough snow to even remember. Then, just when you thought it was over, one final storm on the spring equinox hit with a solid 10". It was a nice consolation bone chucked our way. I'd be fine with something like that to cap this rough winter. I'd really like a monster snowstorm though, and this region used to get biggies in March during my youth. I think you could argue we're over-due actually for a March monster

Yep. Wash, rinse, repeat. How does anyone who likes winter endure the state of Ohio??

Ohio sucks for big synoptic storms. But we average 100-120”+ inches in the snow belt of northeast Ohio. Much snowier than the rest of the state on average. I always think the same thing about Southwest Michigan.... big lake that rarely freezes yet limited lake effect snow in the southwest corner.

If only Lk. Michigan were another 80 miles wider, what a difference it would make for the LES. You're right about that!

Another 80 would help for sure. I would also extend it another 80 south as well. Still as is has helped us a bit especially in winters like this.

 In 2016-17 there were quite a few white out bands from 94 that hit out this way. I remember Adam saying they skipped over Jackson but it literally brought me to basically average snowfall (i got 41.6") in a Winter were many areas to the north of Detroit had noticeably less.  In our dream scenarios a few tweaks to the Lake would certainly paid dividends for Southern lower Michigan, however as a whole the Lake still helps more than it hurts in any Winter, good or bad.

Setup on the GFS for next weekend looks strangely familiar.  I know I've seen a farther northwest version of it very recently.  I just can't quite put my finger on it.  

12Z GFS caving to weaker SE Euro version for March 2nd. Before that a couple waves deposit snow where it has repeatedly..north of the IL-WI line.

Looking good for another shot of 3-6" for those of us in Wisconsin and Michigan Tuesday night into Wednesday. Due to model fatigue and lack of coverage in the sub-forum, probably not thread worthy.

Wondering if that's over-blown? That looks too robust for mby. I'm sure you'll do well tho.

I had to set alarms every 3-4 hours all night to wake up and make sure the furnace vent wasn't drifted over. It was every single time and so every single time I had to get dressed, crawl out the window with a head lamp and a snow shovel, dig them out and go back in.

It was insane.

Now I'm worried about my roof collapsing but I don't have time to clear it for a day or two because I have classes, hw and clinicals all week.

Umm. But you love it up there and wouldn't have it any other way. Right?
