The Great Detroit Snow Mystery: Did Winter Forget About Motown?
Ah, Detroit. Motor City. Home of Motown. And apparently, this year, the home of...not a whole lot of snow?
We all know that feeling. You bundle up like a mummy, buy enough hot cocoa to fuel a small village, and resign yourself to months of shoveling. Then, what happens? The weatherman shrugs and says, "Maybe next year, champ!"
So, what's the deal with Detroit's disappearing winter wonderland? Did Mother Nature take a wrong turn and end up in Miami?
QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.
| How Much Snow Has Detroit Gotten This Winter |
The Evidence is In (or Rather, Not In)
According to the folks at the National Weather Service, Detroit has been seriously lacking in the snowflake department. We're talking measly amounts of accumulation compared to the city's usual frosty fury. December rolled in with a measly 0.1 inches, a far cry from the average 8.9 inches. January tried to redeem itself with a mini-blizzard, but even that only managed to dust the city with a few measly inches.
Basically, winter in Detroit this year has been about as exciting as watching paint dry.
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
But Wait, There's More! (Maybe)
Fear not, snow enthusiasts! There's still a glimmer of hope. February and March can sometimes be surprise snowstorm slingers. But then again, maybe they'll decide to join the party with December and January and phone it in.
Only time will tell, folks. Until then, we can all just embrace the bizarre weather and enjoy the extra green grass (because, let's face it, shoveling is a workout).
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.
