  1. Call me weenie, but I can't shake that 2007-08 feel. A dry Fall and as we get closer to winter its getting stormier.
  2. I'm happily getting that 2007-08 vibe. Dry Fall to start now as we head into winter its getting stormier. The computer forecasts are always to be taken with a grain of salt, but above avg precip in winter seems to be a near unanimous signal at this early stage.
  3. As we head closer to winter, on cue ala la nina, the weather is turning stormier!
  4. nice pic but honestly the color here is gorgeous
  5. Glad to know I am not the only one who does my weather stuff during work lol. I usually organize my week so it's busy the 1st half and then Thursday Friday I have a lot of downtime so that's when I catch up on my weather research.
  6. frost has melted. comparison shot out upstairs window yesterday and today
  7. 33 at DTW, 30s in outlying areas. im guessing dtx will consider the growing season over
  8. I love this thread idea. Everytime I see a record thats easy/hard to break i take notice, but never looked up what were the biggies. Detroit Records go to 1874. Of course a little judgment goes into the numbers, but here we go. DTW - daily MAX temp records 10 easiest to break (1) 51 on 2/5/1993 (2) 53 on 2/2/2020 (3) 54 on 12/18/1939 (4) 56 on 12/17/1984 (5) 54 on 2/1/1933 (6) 62 on 11/24/2001 (7) 63 on 11/25/2001 (8) 55 on 1/9/1949 (9) 55 on 1/16/1953 10) 57 on 2/14/1918 10 most difficult to break (1) 67 on 1/25/1950 (2) 81 on 11/1/1950 (3) 70 on 2/11/1999 (4) 66 on 1/11/1890 (5) 69 on 12/6/1998 (6) 75 on 11/9/1999 (7) 68 on 12/3/1982 (8) 67 on 12/2/1982 (9) 67 on 12/5/2001 (10) 64 on 1/26/1944 DTW - daily MIN temp records 10 easiest to break (1) 8 on 12/1/1930 (2) 7 on 12/6/1885 (3) -6 on 1/27/1936 (4) -7 on 1/29/1985 (5) -7 on 2/1/1971 (6) 0 on 12/20/1942 (7) 6 on 12/5/1974 (8) -2 on 2/21/1918 (9) -4 on 12/27/2017 (10) -4 on 12/28/1924 10 most difficult to break (1) -20 on 2/9/1875 (2) -21 on 1/21/1984 (3) -20 on 1/19/1994 (4) 0 on 11/22/1880 (5) 7 on 11/13/2019 (6) -16 on 2/5/1918 (7) -18 on 1/18/1976 (8) -13 on 2/20/2015 (9) -16 on 1/12/1918 (10) -16 on 1/25/1897
  9. dreary fall morning with cold front moving in. me neighbors friend staring at me lol
  10. gorgeous color in SE MI today. Early peak
  11. people on Facebook are posting gorgeous color shots around SE MI.. im feeling a lot better so i plan to take a long drive either Tuesday or wed to get some pics. early peak this year.
  12. 1974-75 was snowy here. im feeling a lot better, just have a nagging cough and shortness of breath otherwise the other symptoms are gone.
  13. In the 22 La Ninas since 1950, just 6 had colder than average Octobers here. 1964, great winter 1974, great winter 1983 great winter 1988, crap winter 1999, meh winter 2008, great winter
  14. I'm starting to feel much better. just a headache and get winded when doing physical activity. But a few days ago I actually went to the ER because I was so dizzy I could not even stand. Turned out I was drinking too much water and flushed sodium out of my system so I have to eat salty foods and drink Gatorade only for several days. I asked the doctor what are the chances of getting it again once you recover and he said you should be good with your body building up immunity as there's only been so far 2 confirmed cases of 2nd time covid in the US so far. So that's my source lol.
  15. if its 1-2° above avg with lots of storms, there will be plenty to track
  16. There have only been 2 cases in the US of a person getting it a second time. it's starting to seem like people are just coming under the assumption that everybody's just going to get it, open crap up.
  17. For sure. It's funny I saw the Marquette national weather service Facebook page lighting up with people posting pictures of a few scrawny snowflakes hitting their windshield, even though they live in a place that gets well in excess of 100" of snow per year. The same people that mock downstate for having traffic issues in an 8 or 10" snowstorm posting close up shots of wet slush on their windshields. Does not matter how old you get, theres always extreme excitement in the 1st snowflakes.
  18. I literally just mentioned yesterday that i stay out of this thread for the most part but I have to comment on our presidents theatrics again today. He is already back to down playing it, telling how the flu is worse and of course not wearing a mask. I find it amusing that our obese 74 yr old president caught his hoax virus so bad that he had to be taken to a hospital with round the clock care & oxygen and now a few days later he has recovered to feel "better than hes felt in 20 years". Even though most younger healthy people who catch a much more mild form feel effects of the virus for 2 weeks. I started symptoms before trump, never had anything close to needing oxygen or hospitalisation, and yet I still feel blah, tired, and slightly feverish.
  19. 2007-08 averaged exactly normal here temperature wise but is the 5th snowiest Winter on record. The Winter featured some huge rollercoasters including watching a foot of snow disappear in a day a few days before Christmas and a warm spell in January that gave us just about as warm a January day as we can ever get (wasn't officially the warmest, but it was up there). Patterns that are so volatile like that seem to keep feeding storms.
  20. The NDJFMA period averaged 2.3° warmer here in 2019-20 than in 2018-19, yet we saw over a foot more snowfall in 2019-20. That's just the most recent example, and I'm 42N. Not sure how far south these things realistically happen but regardless people need to be very careful to not just jump to a quick conclusion when they see a bunch of orange or red on a map, at least before looking at the grid lol
  21. Thank you! I look forward to that as well!
  22. I agree. a classic la nina is stormy here in the lakes but I cant count on anything as the weather does what it wants. In fact every fall it's the same thing, it's fun to look at forecasts and speculate but we know it's full of unknowns
