These were Detroit’s snowiest months, years between 1969-2022 🌨️

Snow is such a familiar part of life here in Michigan. Nothing quite screams winter like beautifully coated tree branches and brown slush lining our streets.

And when our winter season is lacking snow, we definitely notice its absence. After a drier start to our 2022-2023 winter season, many are rejoicing in the snow finally stacking up around Metro Detroit -- and there’s more on the way.

Some winter seasons are certainly drier than others, but there is always at least some snow that falls. Data from 1969-2022 confirms that, with accumulating snow recorded during every winter season between those years.

Curious about which years and months had the most and least snowfall during that time frame, we dug through some data from the National Weather Service. Here’s what we found.
