October 2011 General Discussion/Obs


Chicago Storm

Recommended Posts

Everyone was talking in late September before the upper low how they couldn't wait until October, and that it is likely to ramp up. Since another lingering upper low this month seems unlikely, September will probably top October in terms of changeable weather.

They just like giving you **** for w/e reasons. Maybe start a SE WI snow events thread.

I don't remember anyone saying that it would ramp up once we hit October.

I feel like doing that...not to spite others, but I am in winter mode already. I'll start one if you post some of your thoughts in the thread.

Go for it..lol. I doubt I'll remember too much historical stuff outside of the last 5 yrs lol.. Snow has always been a love that not to many things can top, but my memory was on other things back them and I'm only basically here to read about others excitement for it also and to throw in a few weenie boners and dumb from time to time.

Unless you consider reading the fantasy GFS 300+ hrs. out reliable, I'm not sure how you can make that call.

A perfectly comfortable week is a severe event followed by a blizzard ;)

11/10/1995 temp was in the 80s at 4pm. By 9pm and a destroyed boat plant later, the temp was in the 20s with snow falling. I was 10 when this happened. The tornado was only a couple miles from my house.

Lebanon MO 11/10/1995 Tornado

Those little silver lines are all jon boats. The tornado went straight through this area. Driving by the next day there were boats in trees within a 500yd radius.

I was looking back at some of the stuff regarding the October 1989 snowstorm, a freak occurrence here and other places in the southern 1/2 of the Midwest you could say, and was somewhat impressed at the roller coaster of temps before, during, and after that event. Here are the daily numbers at LAF from the 11th through the 30th. Overall it was a pretty warm month...other than of course the timeframe around the snowstorm which dropped 6.7".

I don't make the call based on one run, I have watched the GFS runs for the past 3 years, and none of them indicated much until the end of next week, which is already the middle of October.

Looking at Chicago high temp records later this week, I was surprised to see that record highs are in the mid-upper 80s...and that even extends into the 3rd week of October.

It really can get warm in Chicago in mid-late October, including an 84F on Halloween in 1950.

The forecasted highs near 80 later this week are not as rare as I thought.

I believes quite a few of the recent octobers have featured 80+ temps

didn't RFD come close or hit 90 last October? I know we were well into the 80's.

i have a terrible memory for individual events, but i can remember getting sunburnt at a few october college football games in recent years. I also recall a chicago marathon that featured some major heat issues.

Look at the snow depth. :axe: I guess that shouldn't be surprising.
