  1. Had numerous snow showers/squalls today. A few had brief periods of heavier snow and non-measurable dustings. ORD had a T and RFD 0.1”
  2. The new trend has been slower for those both to occur, along with a flatter/northern entry into the US. This leads to a delayed organization, and a miss for around here. .
  3. Not really conservative... More along the lines of what overnight guidance suggests, with the good snows a bit north, along and north of the border. .
  4. The evolution change at 500mb on guidance the past few days has been quite significant. We’re at the point where there’s actually phasing and the wave goes neutral or negative tilt.
  5. And for the latter issue, it'll help that temps will be held in the 30's from later tonight on through the event.
  6. Still have some time on this one, as the wave isn’t onshore until later Friday. .
  7. couple inch events almost always get threads. probably was a bit too far out though. but tis the first potential, so. .
  8. Very likely a good chunk of the sub-forum does on Thur-Sat, behind the first system. The there’s the weekend clipper/hybrid go watch as well. .
  9. The early starts are in October (Think 2019), and this isn’t October anymore. Next weekend we’re in mid-November already. .
  10. First trace of snow at RFD this morning, only a few days off the average (Oct 31st). .
  11. Warmest Octobers On Record: 1. 64.3° - 1963 2. 62.2° - 1971 3. 62.1° - 1947 4. 61.9° - 1920 5. 61.4° - 1900 6. 60.8° - 1956 6. 60.8° - 1879 8. 59.8° - 1924 9. 59.7° - 2021 9. 59.7° - 1953
  12. Looks like peak fall foliage color will be late this week. Definitely well behind schedule this year. .
  13. The much hyped northern lights/auroras didn’t pan out last night. The CME was significantly delayed and much weaker than expected, not impacting earth until just before sunrise here and only to G1 storm levels. .
  14. I give you the first potential flake-age of the season... .
  15. And we begin... This thread can be used for short/medium range discussion, and for those events that just don’t make the cut for being thread worthy.
  16. I’ve seen enough to suggest that at least part of the region will see their first flakes the first half of Nov with this upcoming cold shot. Maybe more than flakes for some areas? Shall see. Should also see the first widespread freeze (even hard freeze) for many areas as well. EPO is going negative and will be driving things for a bit. .
  17. 1.85" of rain at yesterday at ORD broke the record rainfall amount for the date of 1.63", which was set in 1918. .
