gimmesnow Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 It's snowing nicely in the Lake Geneva area too. I thought today would be rain, but it's snowing enough that there's not much visibility. Pretty nice surprise, it almost looks like the rain is going to stay away for the most part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuff was pretty fluffy despite temps just below freezing. By the time I stepped out for work, temp had risen to 36F and the snow was a very slushy 1.5" Ofc, it had rained a bit too but that's some serious compaction! 3 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 52.8" (89% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.1 Apr: 0.0 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = xx.x" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
