Memories keep me positive.

Some southern lower Michigan weather history for December 27. 1959: Southerly winds bring mild weather with lows in the 40s and highs in the upper 50s. 1993: Temperatures plunge below zero, beginning a long stretch of arctic weather that will continue through much of January. 1904, there was a maximum temperature of 56 degrees in Detroit between 3 and 4 pm that fell steadily to a minimum of 18 by midnight.

.02” so far on the day, 5.98” for the month, 58.34” on the year. 40 degrees and dribbling currently. And it’s coming!

As long as it stays snow in the mountains, I plan to do some skiing.

That’s no more wet than the current pattern. And the EPS is mostly that AL pattern with moisture directed northward into AK. I agree with your take here. I don’t give a f*** what’s happening on some giant hill 75 miles from me. Any more than I’d care about it snowing at Putin’s house.
