Geos Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Coming back home I noticed the fog and haze building back up. 36/36 right now with 4 miles visibility, but falling off more in low lying areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Up to 52 here after a low of 24...perfect fall day. Cold mornings giving us negative daily departures for now. +3 on the high, -10 on the min...-3 overall today. November isn't going positive, even with a "warm" extended. Also, a happy birthday to Chicago Storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmc76 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Experiencing some of the most intense fog I have ever seen. I was driving 15 mph in a 50 mph zone. If i had to estimate the Visibility was 50 yards at best and that estimate might be genourous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Mild night with light south winds and increasing cloudiness, 39 °F. Coldest temps in the Kettle Moraine, Burlington down to 25 °F. Cat 1 is practicing his hunting skills and pounced on my face cause I think he wanted some fancy feast, hopefully he'll wake me up during interesting weather events and not just boring nights. Turtle--- Staying in Wisconsin for T day? Looks like the temps may not be much different. Yup, too much of a schlep to go to Florida for Thanksgiving, will probably use that card during winter break.

Hoar_Frost Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Yes, happy birthday to Chicago Storm! I am back in Geneva from State College, Pennsylvania, for Thanksgiving break. Quite a frosty morning today (and yesterday, as well). It got down to 22 here, which is the coldest temperature I have personally experienced yet this cold season. The cold, crisp mornings of fall that are common here in the Midwest just are not as frequent in State College because it is so often cloudy there this time of year.

Chicago WX Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Days upon days of no worse than partly cloudy skies. This is supposedly the stormiest month of the year, right? Not for here. I guess the only way I can quantify it is by using precipitation normals by month, and Nov is the 6th wettest month for LAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of October, I wouldn't use storminess to describe any of our weather since at least the end of last Spring. It's been A WHILE since we had such a long period of nothingness.

David Phillips, who's a respected climatologist up here once said in an interview that November was the "stormiest" month of the year in the Great Lakes region. Now, I suppose "stormiest" doesn't necessarily have to equal "wettest". He might be using mean barometric pressure to back up his claim. I'm not sure. But it always rang true to me, remembering that monster during the middle of November 1998, then Katrina in 1999. There have been other slightly lesser examples since.

I was curious and searched for average barometric pressure by month and couldn't find a damn thing, other than some data for a few western U.S. locations. In AK anyway, November had the lowest average...but the data didn't go that far back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Was just looking back through Indy's snowfall records, and thought it was interesting how a few Novembers that were decent turned into duds of a season. I used 2.5" or more for November as decent, because it is for Indianapolis. 1931-32 and 1997-98 were especially awful after November. 1932-33 would've been a cruel tease...it is still Indy's snowiest Nov on record.

Only 4 days this November have failed to have a min temp of 32º or lower at LAF.

November has had some memorable storms over the years (Fitz, 1950, Armistice Day are a few you didn't mention) but I think it's also more prone to what many of us consider boring. Not a consistently snowy month for most areas and any tstorm/severe threats are usually a one and done type thing, unlike spring/summer where it's not uncommon to string together multiple threat days in a row in the same location.

Not that it's much solace, but at least winter makes a brief entry or reentry late next week into the weekend; nearly -12 850s depicted by some models in N Wisconsin and near Door County where I will be from Friday to Sunday. Looks like the temps will be steady in the 30s much of the time, maybe a day with highs in the 40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
