Dtw received more snow as 0.7" fell added to the seasonal total to 34.9" so far. Just keeps on coming. Wish it was like this back in the colder months.

About as buried as we can be.

Another 3-4” of snow tonight.   Might stick around for more than 12 hours this time.  But will be gone by Wednesday.  This is the way.  All winter.

My last WWA Friday was a big bust here. Nothing coming at me from that direction can excite, lol.

Snow was definitely heavy and wet but it was so much fun to snowboard in. A lot of work because it's so heavy, but absolutely amazing to get something like this in the middle of March. Last few years we've barely made it into March, sometimes not even that long. They are going to try and keep the hill open another week. If you are around Chicago and you want to ski or snowboard Alpine Valley is in amazing shape for spring skiing and for a weekend it was extremely quiet.

Had about a 2 hr break. now back to snowing hard. Vis around 1/2mi. See if this pans out tonight

DSM bullseye!  Over the years on this board, I can't count how many times your snow magnet has shined!  Congrats on the surprise snow.  Well, if you listened to the NWS it was a surprise...LOL...did any local mets use any of their own judgement to forecast this event?

the highest I saw was 2-3" on the local ABC station. Others were 1-3".

This system was no joke as it dumped significant snows over Wisco and into the Northwoods of MN and N WI.

3" down here.  Much lighter and fluffier than last snow, so that's good.

Got less snow and roads are much worse than the last system.  Yet all the schools are open.  And they were all closed last week because of "more" snow.

Geeze, how much is your snow depth now?  Looks like mid-winter up there with the high snow banks.  How would you rate this winter so far?

Meanwhile, the snow-less winter in Chicago...

Table says 34". Should be top 5 year for snow. Kinda inflated though.  A bunch came in Nov before Thanksgiving then melted. Dec was decent. Jan bone dry. Feb since mid month has been great.

dug a hole down to the ground in a spot untouched snow to her right

Even though the snow has had no staying power this year, we are approaching 100" on the season.  Crazy to think about, especially when we went the first 22 days in January with less than .5" of snow.

Snowing all morning here so far. Temp at 31F.

Wow crazy! You still have managed to get 4" more than me. Been a horrible pattern for everyone along and south of I-80. Hopefully next year will be better for all. Crazy to think that areas to my north and west have seen 50"+ here in Nebraska.

#1 & #2 back-2-back a century ago. MEGA OUCH! for any snow enthusiasts back then. As the old saying goes "it can always be worse"
