Leelanau sets December record for snowfall, eyes all time record
The Traverse City Record-Eagle reports that Leelanau County set a December record for snowfall and (if the snow machine stays on) we could have a shot at the all time winter record. The Enterprise notes that that Leelanau's record seasonal snowfall is 231 inches for 1995-96.
"When I was a kid, this is what the winters were like," said Harold Feigel, of Maple City, a volunteer NWS weather spotter.
Feigel's measurements added up to 84.8 inches of snow accumulation last month, the most recorded for a Leelanau County locale in December since records began to be kept there in 1959. It beat out the previous record year of 1989.

No idea. They say the average APRIL snowfall is 2.8 inches. We are kicking the heck out of that number in 2011!
