Ron Hilliard: It’s the centennial anniversary of an unusual May snowstorm in Michigan
4Warn Climate – Regular highs are round 70 levels, and common lows are round 50 levels by mid-Might in Michigan. Moreover a couple of exceptions, we’re going right into a stretch of near-normal climate.
So, snow shouldn’t be within the forecast this time.
However, it was firstly of the month.
Rain and snow have been noticed at Detroit Metro and Flint Bishop airports on Might 1 and Might 2 this 12 months. Throughout that very same 2-day interval, Marquette — the Higher Peninsula’s largest metropolis — picked up greater than two toes of snow (26.2 inches), based on the Nationwide Climate Service.
It has snowed in Michigan as late into the spring season as late Might. How late precisely?
The newest measurable snowfall recorded in Detroit was on Might 22, 1883, when 2.7 inches fell. Simply over 2 inches had fallen the day before today for a 2-day whole of 5 inches.
In Flint, half of an inch fell on Might 26, 1961. The newest date that any snowflakes fell on the Detroit space was Might 31, 1910.
So, what is critical about Might 9?
It’s the newest date of the season that Southeast Michigan collected a minimum of a foot of snow.
On Might 9, 1923, a complete of 12 inches fell in Flint, 9 inches in Saginaw, and 6 inches in Detroit. North and west of Detroit, some 6-9 inches fell within the Ann Arbor space, Howell, Pontiac, and Port Huron.
Based on data maintained by the NWS, the snowstorm precipitated “widespread harm” to timber, energy strains, and poles. The snow was reportedly all passed by the subsequent night.
In different phrases, Might 9 is the centennial of a really uncommon day in Southeast Michigan’s climate historical past. Rejoice safely.

MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) – The Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) is celebrating the tenth anniversary of its placemaking grant.
The Public Spaces, Community Places Grant was used to fund projects like the Marquette Skate Plaza.
Skate Plaza Committee Member Nheena Weyer Ittner said this was one of the first projects that used the program’s funding.
“It was a learning experience for them, huge learning experience for the skate plaza,” Ittner said. “We ended up being successful after a hectic, scary, exhilarating month-long campaign.”
MEDC Senior Community Development Manager Lindsey Clark explained the grant uses crowdfunding to generate public attention and interest in placemaking projects.
“We really focus on gathering that support from the community through crowdfunding for the projects,” Clark said. “Then the MEDC is able to come in and help match that local support to bring the projects to life.”
The grant used to match crowdfunding up to $50,000. Over the years, Clark explained the grant’s cap has been raised to $75,000 to incentivize inclusive projects.
“If your project incorporates that ADA and universal design to the project,” Clark said. “We are really trying to focus on bringing projects that are available for all types of folks to enjoy in the community.”
The Marquette Skate Plaza was crowdfunded with $10,000 and then was matched by the MEDC.
Ittner said grants like this encourage involvement from the community.
“When you have that matching fund kind of dangled in front of you, it just makes people more willing to give,” Ittner said. “Because they know that if we get to a particular goal the MEDC will make their dollar double.”
Marquette is one of the last stops for the MEDC’s Public Spaces, Community Places Grant Tour. Representatives will be heading downstate on Saturday.
