  1. Happy St. Patrick's Day to all. There were grilled Reuben sandwiches for lunch Friday (on the house) in honor. Woke up to a dusting of fluffly LES making everything white again this morning. Went down to Rives Junction yesterday evening and it was still spring there with T-showers in the distance and green-up pretty noticeable about 40 miles south of Harrison. Bushes starting to get that green hue of early leaf-out. Have yet to see the early bulb flowers but I don't get into many places where I might see such tbh. Anyhow, have a great day whether you're Irish Catholic or not. I know it's the least desirable day of the week for the green beer drinking crowd.
  2. Yep, gonna be interesting. Sunday I saw 10 Robins on my street, grass noticeably green about 1 county south, and small leaves seen here this evening walking the dog. See May 1923 for "I guess anything's possible" or even late April 2005. But 04-05 was a pretty harsh winter unlike this one.
  3. Perhaps we just caught the right conditions up there but clearly July and August were AN. May must've been very forgettable, yuck!
  4. Going to be another astounding flip between today and 24 hrs later per my local forecast: Winter coat today...spring jacket tomorrow. Have to keep 'em both at hand lately, lol
  5. At some point it must've flipped warm tho. I remember very warm Lake Michigan water that August all the way north of Petoskey, and that takes some doing. For the spring months, I do remember the 10" snowstorm in Flint on or about the equinox in March. After that I draw a blank until August, lol
  6. Winter is back, just for the weekend tho. Looks pretty much like at my place this first morning of EDT. Blustery WC of 11F With piles and drifts melted-off, I do not foresee any sustained winter. Not ruling out random snow hits til late April up here ofc. Case in point, temps rebound here to above 60F most of the week. Hopefully, for not too long if/when it does. Thanks for the invite to AZ. Really like to get out there some time, just not going to be now unfortunately.
  7. ..and just like that, snow drifts and piles are on the endangered species list up here. The one that our contractor plowed up in an open spot along our street is down to about 18" by eye-ball gauge. Time to "spring forward" and Solar Summer is just around the corner. I'm fine with the shift. This is the time of year when I am pretty much done with winter (although last year we had our best month in March, lol). Not sure I can handle another 13-14 endless winter anymore, lol. @Tom I could use a little Pheonix about now.
  8. Had to laugh. 82-83 was worse, lol. We not only got those 2 solid weeks of cold, it came with two big storms and my deepest snow in years. Strong Nino is almost always bad anyways. This sorta broke that for the first time since maybe 72-73.
  9. 24 hrs later, this afternoon looked like this with W/C pegged at ZERO! Real feel temp down 66 degs from my comfy walk-about yesterday.
  10. Evening commute with 67F on the dash thermo, whilst passing snow otg. Has to be one of my warmest days with snow around not just plowed piles. Also walked without a jacket on afternoon break and was very comfortable, then driving home I see the winter headline for the morning. I mean, it was warm the day before 11-22-15 storm, but like mid-40s not mid-60s. This may also be a personal warmest day prior to a winter event worthy of a headline.
  11. I consider that Feb '65 "bliz" as the beginning of the two golden decades of big storms for SMI. I knew KFNT did well but wasn't aware of the Saginaw total. Since you lived in the area, when the NWS says "Saginaw", are they actually referring to measurements at MBS or somewhere else?
  12. Temp says winter this pm, but there was a migrating hawk and a pair of Robins on my dog walk. Nature is saying early spring
  13. Just wrapped up another solid week of snow cover and temps as low as -4F. It was great to get the huge snow in January during a strong Nino. I'm fine with calling it a season and moving on. Need to be eased back into the cold anyways after such a long stretch without.
