You also said 10 days was impossible and we are already 6 days into that with zero chance of mountain snow for next 5 days.

Next weekend isn't over yet. Fairly confident in that.

This isn't really possible. Models are really struggling. This isn't August

Yeah, this 2025-26 "winter" is not getting a letter grade due to being absent the entire season.

Latest 3pm discussion from NOAA: This second trough/wave will drive 850 MB temps down into the -23 to -26 C range for Tuesday morning, per 12z Canadian/NAM/Euro blend. Thus, even with lake clouds streaming through much of the CWA, still expect temps to be around zero for locations near the southern Michigan border and across the Thumb region. With winds hanging around 10 mph, wind chills approaching -15 F can be expected. Debated a long time on a winter weather advisory to capture the snow squalls and strong winds on Monday leading to blowing snow, and the cold wind chills Monday night-Tuesday morning. Although each weather element falls just short of criteria and this will be a long duration headline, the snow squall concern is high, as well as the potential long duration snow shower activity in the middle tier of counties. Wind chills should still get into the 10 to 15 below zero range. Not much of a warmup during Tuesday, as daytime highs in the mid teens looks fine based off latest guidance. Yet another shortwave will quickly track in from the Midwest Tuesday night and arrive on Wednesday over Lower Michigan. This system will have an actual surface reflection and strong low level jet, which will make for a good warm advection pattern. Snow looks to be developing near daybreak Wednesday, with another 1-3/2-4 inch type snowfall in store. 850 MB specific humidity looks to peak out between 2-2.25 g/kg, as the low undergoes modest amplification as it moves through the Central Great Lakes, per Euro.
