I quietly like to forget that they had like a 15 yr stretch of almost non-stop historic Big Dogs. Theirs make our MW version look like rookie Wanna-Be storms. Now that you mention it, silence from the EC Weenies has been a wonderful thing. Which winter was it that the models kept flashing monster storms, just to pull the rug the entire winter?

Now THAT is a wild looking picture wow.

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.
