Troutdale 1921

I was just reading IND's anniversary posting of their summary yesterday. The event was actually two very closely timed storms (think MSP back-to-back 18" Big Dogs in January of '82). I knew nothing about wx boards in that era so only caught pieces here-n-there like TWC snippit or something. I do remember the nice 8" snow depth around Ann Arbor as I went that way to visit family on Christmas. It was rare that Detroit had MORE snow than Marshall but that was one time it was such. SWMI ofc had the Thanksgiving 2004 snowstorm, so that kinda evened the score. 04-05 was a very good winter across SMI including Detroit with the Jan 22nd near blizzard.

4 seconds of daylight gained today.

Yep, was thinking the same thing as I took a drive around town here this evening (that only takes about 5 mins btw). We already have nice snow and it looks very festive so this should be a really nice snow-on-snow event that truly wasn't even on my radar as we watched the Thurs clipper closely. @uticasnow I still would not throw in the towel on a better outcome. DTX noting that their confidence level is "low". I really think this is still a work in progress and late-game surprises are still on the table. DTX For DTW...Pushed back timing of precipitation onset to 19Z Monday. Will have the potential for mixed precipitation at the beginning of the event before precipitation changes to snow. Total amounts will be depended on the duration of snow which remains of low confidence. DTW THRESHOLD PROBABILITIES... * Low for ceiling at or below 5000 feet tonight, then high after 19Z Monday. * Low for precipitation type as light freezing rain and/or sleet before 18Z Z Monday, then high for a changeover to snow by 19Z Monday.
