I think he knows that and is poking you lol.. Detroit usually gets more snow than Chicago despite a few epic Chicago storms, and most here know that. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one would argue against that. But of course, Chicago does better with big dogs. In terms of seasonal snowfall and snowcover, Detroit may do slightly better, but it's not a big enough difference worth quibbling over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when winters suck and are boring like they have been for years, there's nothing else to do on here than quibble back n forth with josh for fun.

hawkeye_wx Posted Wednesday at 08:32 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:32 PM Wind is gusting to 60-70 mph in wc IA and ec NE. DVN has issued a blizzard warning for my area. I'm not sure we'll get enough snow to justify that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure we'll get enough snow to justify that. they need to bring back blowing snow advisories. the simplification movement to elimination those, and instead use a winter storm/blizzard warning or winter weather advisory, seems bad. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of seasonal snowfall and snowcover, Detroit may do slightly better, but it's not a big enough difference worth quibbling over. Over the past 20 years, Detroit has averaged 6.8" more annual snowfall and 5 more annual 1"+ snowcover days despite a DJF avg temp 1.3° warmer than Chicago. Obviously it isn't a huge difference, and it shouldn't be with the two places latitude and proximity. But the same thing goes for big dogs. It isnt like Chicago gets one every winter. Other than those few, the overall snowstorm climo is also quite similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted Wednesday at 11:35 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:35 PM We just got a burst of heavy snow that dropped 0.5", but the temp is 33º so it's a wet snow. However, a new squall just hit with very strong wind and near white-out conditions. It should be brief, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted Thursday at 12:21 AM Share Posted Thursday at 12:21 AM All we have on the ground here is some leftover dead leaves from the fall to blow around. No blowing snow to worry about here for the foreseeable future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted Thursday at 02:03 AM Share Posted Thursday at 02:03 AM Total snow today 2.4" DTW (27.9" season) and 2.3" here (28.4" season). After a very rough week of forecasts, DTX did a good job with this event. Most places saw 1.5-3.5" snow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the difference in annual snowfall is only about 7" more at DTW than ORD, the days with mood flakes and overcast skies is a big difference. My brother brings that up constantly. He lived in Chicago for a decade and this is his 2nd winter back in MI. This year has been a different animal. The roads are slick nearly daily, from the constant dustings in Dec to the surplus of blowing and drifting snow in Jan. Salt contractors are making a fortune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roardog Posted Thursday at 02:30 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:30 PM Dry is bad this time of year whether it’s warm or cold. Warm and dry here usually consists of temperatures around 35-40 and 30MPH winds. Might as well be cold enough to look like winter when the warm option is still cold. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
