It has definitely been an interesting winter here in Michigan. Many cities are running above normal on snowfall. Here’s a look at many of the tallies of snowfall across our state.

I’ve used a combination of official National Weather Service/FAA weather observation sites and the Cooperative Weather Observers snowfall amounts.

Cooperative weather observers are typically weather-sensitive organizations, like water treatment plants, and many retirees that don’t leave home often.

It’s a commitment to measure snow daily. I used the observation points that were missing less than 10 days of data. It’s not a perfect method, but it’s the best we can do. The maps and snow amounts do give us a good guide as to how much snow has fallen in an area.

Here are the total season snowfall amounts up to yesterday.

In Lower Michigan, we generally go from 25 inches to 40 inches of snow in the southeast and Saginaw Valley area to 75 inches to 100 inches over western Lower Michigan.

Over the Grand Rapids area, Snow rises from 40 inches east of Grand Rapids to 116 inches at Holland. This area of Michigan always has an incredible variance in snowfall totals.

Southeast Lower Michigan has had its fair share of snow. While not extremely heavy, many cities are running a few inches above normal. The exception is the Saginaw Valley, which is up to seven inches below normal on snow.

The snowbelts around Traverse City and northwest Lower Michigan are up in the 110 inches to 130 inches of total snow so far, which is 10 inches to 20 inches above normal. Traverse City’s 111 inches so far is 19 inches above normal.

The highest snow total I found in the reliable observations is Munising at 176 inches. There are probably a few spots in the darkest purple that are very close to 200 inches of snow so far this winter.

Here are the city snowfalls from heaviest snow to little snow.
