2011-2012 Winter Was a Top Six Warmest Winter

The meteorlogical end to the 2011-2012 winter ended on February 29. All three months of the winter season, December, January, and February, at all three climate sites in Southeast Michigan, Detroit, Flint and Saginaw reached the top twenty warmest. The end result was a winter that was the warmest since the 2001-2002 winter and one that places in the top six warmest winters on record. Despite the warm conditions, there have been enough small snowfalls that all three sites will remain out of the top twenty snowless winters.
