DETROIT – Have we had more snow than usual in Metro Detroit so far this winter? It sure seems like it, but we wanted to take a look at the numbers.
The 4Warn Weather team took a look at the data from Dec. 1, 2025, through the morning of Jan. 26, 2026. Dec. 1 is the official start of meteorological winter.
This year, Detroit Metro Airport has had 27.2 inches of snow.
Last year, from the same dates, we had received just 12.3 inches of snow. So Metro Detroit has more than doubled its snowfall as of Jan. 26.
This doesn’t even include the 5.9 inches of snow we got in November.
In a normal year, we would have gotten 20.1 inches of snow by Jan. 26, so we’re 7.1 inches above average for the season so far.
Our total is likely to increase Tuesday morning, as we’re forecasting another dusting to 2 inches of snow. Click here for the latest forecast.
