Sorry folks! Another Worst La Nina Winter coming to Metro-Detroit!

[DetroitPlanner]

I acquired 3 additional snow blowers in the spring from folks defecting for Florida. I just have to get some salt, & I'll be all set regardless of how much snow we get.

Be ready for sicker shock, salt is up 200 percent over last year's prices. Yet another blow to maintaining roads.

so are people encouraged to start saving those tiny packets of salt that are given away with typical coney island carry-outs, that almost no one really uses?

In November: There will be more chances for snow showers and colder temps.

I was right and here comes the Polar Vortex!

Yeah, there is a chance for sprinkles. I mean, it's cold, yeah, but uhhh... that happens. It's Michigan.

Danny was right. Again.

I believe it will be around as cold, maybe colder as last winter but that we will have less snow. If you remember last year, the snowfall slowed down significantly when the Great Lakes finished freezing over.

Most of the Great Lakes never warmed up to average temps this year due to all the rainfall and lower temps for the early part of the season. As such, if the temps are as cold, they would theoretically freeze even sooner than last year, putting a damper on the lake effect snow even earlier in the year. It's certainly possible that we could get more snowfall originating from outside of the region to make up the difference, but my gut tells me we don't come anywhere near as close to what we had last winter in terms of snowfall.

Always a grand ol' party as the spring rain hits the frozen ground and causing flooding.
It's Michigan you must love water, in your basement, on your porch, in the street, etc.

Where do we send the checks to stop the global warming? If it gets any warmer around here in November....

[compn]

same place you send the checks to stop global climate change and stop global storm increases.

buy a wind turbine today!

Rather than an action ozone day, we all need to reverse that and start up everything. Turn on the lawn mowers, generators, fuel up your cars all at once. Maybe, just maybe, we can turn this thing around

At least we aren't in Buffalo. Scary stuff over there.

According to various weather radar websites, all this snow we've had around Detroit today is lake-effect snow all the way from Lake Michigan. It's been forming on the eastern shore and marching all the way across the LP. Isn't that unusual? I don't remember ever seeing it stretch that far before.
