michsnowfreak Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Gray skies, brisk winds, and the smell of leaves in the air...LOVE Fall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 ^^ minus the grey skies.. Let's put sun in the equation. That's much better. This what I hate about fall/winter the lack of sun! To freaking depressing around here! But I still manage to enjoy every second of immediate snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Rent Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Snow all the way down to St. Louis. Love it. Flurries for Game 1... At leas the Game 1 in St. Louis doesn't look so far fetched now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 It could get mildly interesting for flakes if we could keep some light precip around for Wed night. Right now light precip might occur Tuesday night, but temps will probably be upper 30s, so little chance for that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 It'll be hard to tell if it'll snow or not until within 48 hours of this. It's very borderline, the lowest levels of the atmosphere are generally quite warm until November and stomp out events like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Very brisk here in Toronto. I'm not sure if EC is simply up to its usual warm bias, but the storm for the middle of this week isn't looking like much for my area. Accuweather over hyping again? I'm not happy with what the 0z and 6z GFS runs showed for next Sunday (the 23rd). That is one day I could do without snow or rain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hm8 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Gusty winds making for an interesting game in Lansing. Gusting to 40mph. Fortunately it shouldn't effect Denard's running game too much. Go blue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Beautiful fall day today, up to 59° F and I bet it'll warm up a little more, putting us slightly above average temp wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier this week they were forecasting highs for today in the mid teens C (I think 17 at one point). Because they use the GGEM verbatim for their D3-7 forecasts, the warm bias associated with that model seems to always get incorporated. But to even hobbyists like us, it was obvious it was going to be a lot cooler than that. b_i had a good post in the separate storm thread about midweek. We could still eke some rain out of it though.

The latest Euro has quite the storm for Wednesday. It's looking like next weekend could be okay, with a just a front passing through on Sunday.

hm8 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 lmao Unlike a real Big Ten Defense. He was essentially shut down and deemed useless. For some reason we decided to play musical quarterbacks between Denard and our second string. I'm not sure why. We decided to abandon our strategy of "just give the ball to Denard and he'll probably get a touch down" that had been working so well. Because clearly he can't throw for ****.

wisconsinwx Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I guess this is the point at which fantasy winter storms start appearing, even if the reality is it probably won't be cold enough for snow. Day 12 on the 12z GFS has a storm in the Great Lakes, and there's a good chance we dip below freezing at some point during the night, but I guess it's useless to speculate 12 days out.

The_Global_Warmer Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 The arctic is currently in a Dipole Anomaly. With an HP sitting over the Canadian Side. And and SLP over SE Canada is opening up air from the arctic ice sheet to flow all the way deep into the CONUS. Is there any analogs of past year with Early snow cover along this path in Canada helping keep the air refrigerated on the way? It is going to get pretty chilly for October and there being such a negative ice departure. I am not trying to debate anyone..but the ice/snow anomalies are severely negative. We know that ice/snow reflect 65-90% of solar rays. Has there been any Octobers around these parts where an early season cold plunge was aided by snow pack?

Chicago WX Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 IND still hasn't had a warmer high temp, though tied a couple of times, than LAF this October. Will today break the streak?

The retooling of the web layout wasn't enough to drive me away from NCEP, but these types of delays might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
