Winter 2018-19 Picture Recap in SE Michigan

Recommended Posts

As an avid picture taker, Ive done this every year, so heres my annual picture recap of the winter just past. It had its moments but definitely not a memorable winter here nor are their impressive winter pics that there are some years. An unusual amount of ice and a record arctic blast certainly stood out, but snowfall, something southeast MI seemingly could do no wrong with in recent years, was nearly a foot below avg. In fact, almost twice as much snow fell last winter. Despite lots of mood flakes as always (75 days had a trace or more of snow), I finished at just 31.9" (barring no late season snow). This was my 24th winter measuring snow and only 4 had less snow (1995-96, 1997-98, 1999-00, 2011-12). This means that in the past 19 winters, only 1 (2011-12) had less snowfall than 2018-19. Still, snowfall is running well above avg the past 15 years or so.

 

November 2018 - 6.1". Lots of small snowfalls in Nov...it seemed to snow every day. I could not recall a November with snow falling so often.

December 2018 - 0.3" What a trainwreck of a Dec. Quite a few days saw mood flurries, but hardly any snow. Nothing worth a picture. Still, its the most wonderful time of the year!

2-13-19 I was up north playing in deep snow while the worst ice storm in years paralyzed far southeast MI for a day on the 12th. Some of the pics I saw were incredible but I can not take credit for any of them. Some of the ice melted after nearly 12 hours of thawing, but when I came home the next day, I was surprised to see there was still ice everywhere (it had fallen off the trees). There was fresh wind whipped snow from a day of howling winds and sideways snow.
