I see this map was thru Tues 7 am. So far, part 1 has performed better than expected here. Let's see how part 2 LES plays out and whether I can end up scoring the 2+ shown on this map. Will all come down to getting lucky with a streamer like last November. 

Looks like I ended up on the northern edge of the streamer with about 0.5" here, while DTW put up a report of 1.7" from a snow squall that apparently hit hardest around 10 pm. With that amount my 2-day total takes me slightly AN for the month of November and that makes 2 straight months as my 2 tenths on Halloween was AN as  well. The avg here for October is 0.0"

Glad that you were able to witness some heavy streamers coming off the lake.  I always enjoyed heavy lake effect snow bands back home.  Big fatty flakes flying sideways is always a site to see!  Speaking of AN snowfall, ORD had the Halloween snow and the 1.8" the other day brings the season total to 2.7" (1.1" AN for the season).  Not a bad start.

I just luv the headline "Heavy Snow Squall Warning." Too bad my area missed out on this squall.

Ended up with just less than an inch.  But it was a good sight to see light snow falling at times.  Looks like snow will be hard to come by to start december so I'll take anything I can get.  Hopefully as we get to the second week of December winter can fire up again.

Did they issue a Squall Warning? If they did, I missed it unfortunately. The one N of here last winter died as it came south into the lower elevation and UHI (as usual). I'd like to see a legit one myself as long as I am not caught in it on the highways. A couple blobs of LES turned US23 into a skating rink yesterday morning up near Fenton/Grand Blanc. Accidents and slide-offs were snarling traffic crawling along at 20 mph. Being stuck in that is one of my least favorite things about winter car travel.

Reports are scant this moring tbh, but it looks like Mancelona, one of the triangle of white gold anchor points, showing the best report of just under 14" over the past 2 days (with more on tap today).

It was a perfect arctic blast over those warmer waters for sure. This storm was last Christmas "lite". 

RIght around 17" seems to be the most in the LP of Michigan.
