Update to arcturus: It’s now 3/21. We’ve been producing a LOT of snow around here of late. Grand Rapids is up to 65″ for the winter. Muskegon is at 99 inches! W. Martin is at 101″. Muskegon, Detroit, Saginaw…will all be above normal snow for the winter. The snow in N. Michigan has been incredible this late winter: http://blogs.woodtv.com/2013/03/21/record-late-season-snow-in-the-u-p/ The Northern Hemisphere could see a record for snowfall this winter.

Remember how much the dry slot got West Michigan last winter? ALL THE TIME. I’m not holding my breath for this season either

It’s really up in the air John! I’m from Hudsonville and we are really in an area of uncertainty. The current track of the low would usher in the cold air on the back side of the low a little sooner for our area however we may not be quite far enough north to tap into the moisture that the system provides before the transition to snow. Keep and eye on the position of the low pressure because if it trends further southeast lets say closer to the indiana michigan border then we will have a faster transition to snow and higher accumulations.
