SEASON SNOWFALL TO DATE

FOR SOUTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN

Note the heaviest snowfall this winter has been displaced inland toward US-131 compared to the typical heaviest snowfall near the lake shore (see map below). What is odd too, is my Grandville weather station has less total snowfall than the official site at Grand Rapids. I do not remember a year, since I moved here in 1995 where that was true like it is this winter.

This is the normal seasonal snowfall across the area.

The percent of the mean shows this too, that is the heavier snowfall, relative to normal has been displaced inland for this winter season.

I have just retired from forecasting for the National Weather Service (Dec 31 2022) after working there for 38 years. Prior to that I forecast for the United States Air Force from 1976 to 1984. I am very much into forecasting weather and climate and especially love snow storms.

  1. Interesting stuff Bill. Also of interest is the fact that with all of the snow we have received in the Grand Rapids, It has totally melted 3 times and it looks like what is on the ground now will melt again too.

      1. More than likely it appears. Bastardi has been saying it will a very late spring for quite some time now. I hope that is wrong
