London snowsquall Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 The sound of snowblowers and huffing and puffing fills the air in the subdivision as we dig out. Not sure why we are doing it, because we can't go anywhere for now...... Here is the result when someone tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Wow, London! You know you're just making most of us eager for snow,right? Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 GEM shows a 7" dump for YYZ on Tuesday night Nice...could you please give me the link for the GEM totals? This event deserves its own thread by now. Decent agreement that the eastern part of the sub forum will be getting at least some accumulations out of this. We'll see if the Euro holds on the 12z run. We're basically 48 -60 hours out so things should really get fine tuned the next two runs. Here's the GEM run total precip: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 GEM shows a 7" dump for YYZ on Tuesday night I'm hoping for at least 2-4" out of this. What a great start to the season!

michsnowfreak Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 1.4" of snow here in AA per Co-op observer. I saw that. I see the 2013-14 is kicking off with the Ann Arbor snow magnet fully intact! Even during a terrible NNW flow ARB jackpots lol. Looks like a narrow band of snow snaked down and hit them last night. The rest of us are just dry and bitterly cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were awesome last winter. I had 4 whiteouts from them, quite unusual for this far out. But its comical that the flow last night was so not good for anyone in SE MI, yet a pencil thin band manages to snake into AA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if London will break its November snow record? Just came in from helping to shovel the neighbour's driveway after finishing our own. We still have a ways to go to break any Nov. records. I think the record is over 80 cms for November so we would need another 30+ cms for the last few days of the month. Blue sky now has appeared. Looks beautiful outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 LOT on LES potential later this week THE MAIN IMPACTS OF THIS PATTERN LOCALLY WILL BE BETTER CHANCES FOR GOOD LAKE EFFECT SNOW POTENTIAL IN MY NORTHWESTERN INDIANA COUNTIES MIDWEEK. THE SLOWER SOLUTIONS OF THE ECMWF AND GEM WOULD FAVOR A PROLONGED NORTHERLY FLOW DOWN LAKE MICHIGAN WITH HIGHER INVERSION HEIGHTS...DUE THE COLD MID AND UPPER LEVEL THERMAL TROUGH UNDER THE DIGGING TROUGH. THIS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...AS A GOOD LAKE EFFECT SNOW COULD BE IN THE WORKS AS THE NORTHERLY FLOW DOWN THE LAKE COULD SET UP A SINGLE CONVERGENT BAND DOWN THE LAKE INTO NORTHWESTERN INDIANA. THERMODYNAMICS OVER THE LAKE COULD LEAD TO 850 TO LAKE SURFACE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCES IN EXCESS OF 20 DEGREES CELSIUS...WITH EQUILIBRIUM HEIGHTS IN EXCESS OF 10,000 FEET. THE LAKE EFFECT POTENTIAL COULD LINGER INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...BEFORE THE FLOW FINALLY BEGINS TO VEER MORE WESTERLY AS A STRONG STORM SYSTEM LIFTS UP THE EAST COAST.

Indystorm Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Had a good inch of snow here at Elkhart Dunlap when I woke up this morning. Everything coated white so beatutifully. Has melted off the parking lots and sidewalks this afternoon but grassy areas are still covered. Gorgeous, but since I want to travel from here to NW IN Wed. afternon I want to pay attention to the LES potential downwind of Lake Michigan as referenced in Hoosier's post.

Maybe Alek can get a dumping from that! Hit 25° today, with dewpoints staying between 1-3°. That last London picture looks epic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only glanced at things but it seems like the flow would mainly target the Indiana side. IWX's area could be in for it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, but the EURO hinted at it on the 12z run yesterday. I have 2" of the clearest ice you could imagine on my pond. ----------- Snow accumulations through Thanksgiving.

wxman1952 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I hate "Lake effect" snow. Because I never get any lol. The ONLY way for me is a NE wind off Saginaw bay before it freezes up. Problem is being its so shallow it freezes up fast. Oh well, just sitting here envying all of you who got in on the action. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoaster Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I'm curious to know about Chicago and LES on average. Are Chicago's chances generally similar to Toronto's chances in terms of LES events? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 I'm curious to know about Chicago and LES on average. Are Chicago's chances generally similar to Toronto's chances in terms of LES events? Probably less than Toronto. At least you can get some LES from Lake Huron. Here it is only from one source.

Jonger Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I'm curious to know about Chicago and LES on average. Are Chicago's chances generally similar to Toronto's chances in terms of LES events? Elevation plays a big role in LES. Chicago is flat as a board, so it would take a very intense LES band to clobber the city, terrain acts as an agitation device for the moisture.

Snowstorms Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Probably less than Toronto. At least you can get some LES from Lake Huron. Here it is only from one source. Georgian Bay* and if we have winds off Lake Ontario on rare occasions we can get some decent LES. Happened in February last winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoaster Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Chicago would need an eastern wind whereas Toronto would need a southeastern wind for direct LES. Which happens more often? I feel like SE wind rarely happens here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertfly Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 It is weird how Chicago seems to never get decent LES events, then again, Alpena rarely does well either. yeah...for the most part LM is only enhancing snowfall or adding a tad to totals after we get the LP's going up through Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio area....even then it is usually for a smaller window of time Although, maybe once or so a year there can be a decent LES event to follow on the West side of the lake here.... If memory serves me correct at least ^^^^ lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
