cyclone77 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 A nice snowy day here. Mostly light/slowly falling snow but nice dendrites. Had a few bursts of smallish cottonballs. Warm ground and marginal temps kept the snow from accumulating more than a few tenths on grassy surfaces here. If it had been colder we would have accumulated 2"+. Now that it's nighttime it seems to be sticking better on the grass again. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two months have finished very close a few times, but at Detroit officially, December has never finished warmer than November (it should not this year either). Ya, December will end up colder than November here in Toronto. November is so far 3C warmer and that’s without the next few days coming up closer to average 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Have picked up 0.8" here. If one were able to take official 6hr measurements we surely had more, as there's been several thaw backs of what has fallen throughout this 12hr+ event. If none of it had melted we likely would have exceeded 4 or 5 inches. Even though 80% of what fell melted it has still been a great event. Long-duration steady snowfall. Unlike what many of the models had advertised, we never transitioned over to rain. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Mild 26 this morning with some flurries. Hi-res models paint as much as 4-6" in a narrow area of the high terrain from Herman right through my back yard late tonight/tomorrow. In an average winter by this point that would almost be a yawn but I'm excited. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Snow showers around the area this morning with the system moving through. Hoping for a lake band later to at least make the ground white. S Shore looking at 3-6" potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detroit (*snow is possible tmrw tho) the top 10 lowest is below. Although considering all the snow records that have been set the last two decades, you're going to set occasional low snow ones. 0 - Dec 1889 T - Feb 1998 0.1 - Dec 2014 0.1 - Dec 2023* 0.4 - Dec 1894 0.4 - Jan 1933 0.5 - Dec 2018 0.7 - Feb 1953 0.8 - Jan 1921 0.9" - several 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a wild rollercoaster it has been. I remember some winters in the past 10 where it seemed to snow almost everyday in the winter. It seems when we get into a certain pattern, it's hard to break it, even more-so when were in a warm pattern in the winter like we currently are. Luckily when we get arctic blasts <15 degrees as highs, they don't usually last longer than a week. It would be nice to have a snowy December for once as it sets the tone for the winter. It sucks having to wait this long for decent snow lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
