I left Detroit on 9 Jan for Vietnam. Curious how the winter of '09-10 stacks up to the average of around 40 inches of snow per winter. What is a good website for looking up locale climatic data? Is weather info gathered at DTW the official site for Detroit weather reports?

Is the total preciptation for SE Mich this winter above or below average? How about temps this winter?

Oh, on Valentine's Day it was 95F in Saigon. This is the dry season in SE Asia. It has rained only once since I arrived here in mid Jan.

Anyone have any photos of Detroit in winnter witn frozen rut lined streets that I remember from the early 1980s and from the blizzards of Jan 1999. I would like to show such images to my Viet friends here.
