Snowfall records have been kept in Ann Arbor, Michigan, since 1880 and this year has already more than doubled the previous record. As an example, snowfall in March, so far with a week to go, has been 16.7 inches. “Normal” is just 8.3 inches. And it likely isn’t over yet. Ann Arbor’s average snowfall in April is 2.5 inches.
