NEJeremy Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 We've officially wiped out our temperature deficit for the month. We were 5 degrees below normal almost 1/2 way though the month and we are now .9 degrees above normal, with above normal temps the rest of the month. Yet another example of my skepticism for any crazy winter forecasts. We had 25 CONSECUTIVE above normal months that ended this past August, and now we're back to 3 months in a row above average. No snow this month either so we are now 2 weeks past average date of first accumulating snows. Not the fast start to winter that the models were showing here in November for sure!

westMJim Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 So far November 2017 has only had 0.2" of snow fall at Grand Rapids,MI Going back to 1899 there have only been 12 Novembers with 0.2" or less of snow fall in November. Here is a list of past ones here at GRR with 0.2" or less. 1905 0.1", 1906 0.0", 1907 0.0" (not sure if I trust the reports from these years) 1927 0.1" 1931 trace, 1946 trace, 1948 trace, 1984 trace, 1998 0.2" 1999 0.1", 2001 trace and 2010 0.1" Those looking for a lot of snow may not like this but some of the above winters seen the lowest amounts of snow ever recorded here in Grand Rapids 1905 20", 1906 30" are the 1 and 2 years with the least amount of reported snow fall. 1948 only had 33.7" is at number 3 The good news is as I said I do not trust the reports from 1905, 06 and 07.
