The storm was disappointing here due to marine air and bad ratios on the far east side. Although with a low track well west in late November its not a surprise. Northwest suburbs towards Ann Arbor had 4-6". Some areas of west and mid Michigan had 6-8". I had 3.1" but compacted to about 2" of wet cement. I finish November at 5.7". DTW had 3.6", finishing November at 5.9".
It was certainly a spread the wealth for the western sub tho.
Pic shows last night vs this morning.
Right . Even though they beat Chicago almost every year. This time, Chicago gets the headstart.
All things aside, very winter like storm for november. We are getting snow from a low tracking to our west.
Pixie dust light snow for a while has dusted the ground. Temp 28. Thinking 4-5" is a good call for here. Should be a bit of compaction in the early morning as temps rise above freezing, but still a solid winter wonderland expected.
Lmao. So Detroit has an advisory for 5-7", Ann Arbor has a warning for 5-8", and Toledo has a warning for up to 6".
Im sure the general public knows the difference
MLI will exceed its 2024-25 total in 2025-26 before December.
Thinking 4-6" here. Hoping the dryslot/potential end as rain in sunday morning isn't too bad.
Ratios are what im interested in. A bulk of the snow will fall with temps of about 28-32, so even if it does end as rain as temps briefly climb above freezing Sunday morning here, I have to imagine a good blanket is laid down.
Chicago saw under 20 last winter. I dont mind that they'll get more than us this storm. Regardless looks like a widespread advisory to warning criteria snowstorm. Thats on top of the early November 9-10 snowfall and cold as far as the eye can see...excellent start to winter!
Blizzard ongoing in the western U.P. of MI. Between a synoptic dump and lake effect The western UP will easily see 2-3+ feet of snow. Jealous is an understatement. Snow squalls will hit the entire state of MI, with accumulations ranging from a dusting to 18" depending on location. Winds gusting 45-55mph. Lake snow warnings also up in upstate NY. The gales of November are roaring and winter has arrived. Coming to New England shortly.
It's probably gonna be amazing scenery in the western UP. Heavy wet snow clinging to everything then it freezes up then fluffy drifty lake snow. 2-3 feet possible near Ironwood. Always not fair when a lake belt gets slammed with synoptic snow first. So jealous!
The orientation of temp departures this November is absolutely nothing like the top 3 warmest novembers. DTW finished in the top 20 warmest in the top 3 warmest conus Novembers, and will finish this November colder than avg.
Thank you Don. I knew todays run was colder, which is why I said that to spartman. You don't ever look at the cfs weeklies (or any weeklies) and speak in absolutes. They change all the time.
