cyclone77 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 No flakes here today as well. Came close though. I see Dubuque went down to 1/2 mile in snow late this morning. Very cold light rain fell most of the day, adding up to 0.23". Still a decent drizzle floating down out there under a very heavy overcast. EDIT: DVN included the first mention of snow for the season here for next mon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Don't count out a few 70s this weekend. Not a chance Agree. In the Ohio Valley. Not here. 65 tops in SEMI This might even be stretching it a bit but certainly closer to reality. I think maybe 61-62 is the max we get in SEMI.

turtlehurricane Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Based on obs Madison was about the furthest east the snow got, amazing how different the weather can be from county to county. We had 2-3 hours of snow before the changeover, felt like winter for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 0.09" of ice cold rain fell today! High 42° today, made it the coldest day so far this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Just had a nightmare (baseless, not a premonition, but still scary). It was January 12th and there hadn't been any measurable snowfall recorded and no prospects in sight. EURO was a wall to wall blowtorch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 lol, Mike. -11.3º at LAF for the first six days of November. Not bad. But long range/second half of the month looks warm/torchy/snooze worthy right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but it's usually good weather dreams. Like about blizzards and stuff. Haven't had one in a long time...though I think it's seasonal dreaming for me.

Haven't had one in a long time...though I think it's seasonal dreaming for me. I'm the same way, lately I've been having one or two dreams a week at minimum, usually relating to a fictional snowstorm or wintry system at the least. Thankfully, I have yet to have a nightmare like Snowstormcanuck's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I am jealous of NYC snow tonight, but eh, let em have it....Ill take it when it will have staying power of more than 10 hours lol. Last year, NYC got 2.9" of snow on Oct 29/30....but did not get their first freeze til Dec 10th, and after that Oct snow did not see another FLAKE until they got a T on Jan 13th!!! Weird weather over there. Wondering if we may see our first measurable snow Mon night? Will be nothing significant, but MAYBE a few tenths?

michsnowfreak Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Been there done that with that kind of "heavy snow". Give me the powder anyday. I like both, always want at least 2 of the pasting wet snows a winter, also like a few falls of fluff.... but by a MILE powder is my favorite.

michsnowfreak Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Powder is the best. Nothing explains winter post-storm than a foot of powder. Agree. I should have elaborated...I like a wet snow at the beginning and end of the season...during winter....I primarily like powder. I will take anything, but prefer powder. Lay down a foot of powder than get a few tenths of fluff for added sparkle...perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Med range 12zGFS says "Hello zonal flow" It would be nice to have a Thanksgiving snowstorm, havent had one since 2005. Its only Nov 7th, so I am WAYYYYY early with even suggesting such a thing....but im really intrigued if this will be ANOTHER Nov of low snowfall here. Not that it hurts winter, its just interesting. We are definitely overdue for a snowy November. Heres an interesting note.....LONGTERM average, if you use Detroits entire 130+ year period of record, for November snowfall is approximately 3", with a season average of approximately 41". The 1981-2010 avg Nov snowfall (1.4") cuts that in HALF, while the avg seasonal snowfall (43.8") is about 3" MORE. And looking at the past 10 years, the separation is further increasing (though if the end result is the same, I will happily take a decrease of November flakes and an increase of rest-of-the-season snow!)

Chicago WX Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Look familiar? Pretty good signal this far out for a "shorts and flip flops" Thanksgiving. Hint, + departures at that range tend to get worse...or better depending on your perspective. Even so, big +AO spike, MJO into unfavorable phases, etc..."consistent" mild/warm pattern should start around the 16-17th. Hopefully it's relatively short lived and we see a change towards month's end. Hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added "shorts and flip flops" for dramatic appeal. But yeah, hopefully it's transitory in nature...and we can get back to a cooler and hopefully active period as we enter met winter. We're getting closer. Hopefully it's a good winter for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's all we can do is wait and see of what becomes of the AO and other players. Freak... It's been a good amount of years since we have got a solid Nov system. I agree we are due.
