michsnowfreak Posted yesterday at 08:43 PM Share Posted yesterday at 08:43 PM Picked up 1.7" of snow overnight and this morning however over half of it has melted on the ground (but still clinging to the conifers) despite temps hovering just below freezing and flurries continuing. With the winter snowpack just having melted several days ago, this is the first time all season weve seen "relatively warm ground" and "sun angle" come into play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnwx85 Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago Just got home from a weekend out of town. Approaching 3” of lake effect in the backyard. The advance Travelers Advisory (might as well get used to it) meant the roads were pretreated and made for an easy drive from the Chicago burbs. It’s those 1-2” snows that are the worst.

Never really like the standard method. Dense highlights the metrics of wx first, and when it occurred second. But std is normal protocol that is taught, so met folks use that. The biggest difference is usually in the the daily temp records where you see a lot of ties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually, the tides will turn in their favor again. They average nearly as much snow as Chicago and Detroit, and I'm willing to bet their big snowstorm climo is better than Detroit's in particular... That’s not hard to accomplish. Detroits only had 4 storms of 12”+ since 1932. Detroits only advantage vs the western lakes is days with snowfall. Lots and lots of 1-2” days. They don’t have dead periods in a cold pattern like they do. But legit stink at big dogs. It’s all what u like speaking of snow “days” this area here has had almost non stop snow since Saturday night. Not even hitting 3”. That’s how we roll.
