Today is the 50th day with 1"+ snowcover this season at DTW. The depth is 8". 

The current 30-yr annual avg is 47 days, and the longterm avg is 49 days, so we have already eclipsed season avg in early Feb.

Congrats - SEMI's been having a p'good run this winter! 72nd straight day of snow cover (not a "T" lowest was a 1-day 1.5" right after the 50 deg rainstorm).

Forgot to post these guys yesterday. Dusk at the park means chow time.

Solid 1.5" today with plows and snow machines all over the place this evening. Depth at 9.5" equaling my highest back in December right before the holiday week warm-up. 2nd wave stays south but another disturbance on the models for Sunday could be measurable. 

Our depths been hovering between 8-9" the last 10 days or so too.

I knew it was cold but didn't realize the impressive nature of it.

January 15 - February 4 is the coldest 3 weeks of the year on avg to begin with. 2026 now ranks 3rd coldest for that 3 week stretch at Detroit in 153 years of record. Only 1918 & 1963 were colder.
