Chicago WX Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Fun fact: the 21º at LAF this morning is already colder than any minimum temperature recorded last November. By a pretty good margin too...27º being the lowest min temp in Nov 2011. Also whipped Nov 2009 pretty good too. Nov 2011: 27º (11th, 17th, 18th, and 31st) Nov 2010: 21º (19th and 28th) Nov 2009: 29º (1st) Nov 2008: 14º (22nd) Nov 2007: 23º (7th, 25th, and 29th) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 First hard freeze and first sub 30° last year was on Nov. 11th. Yesterday was the first sub 30° low here. This early November isn't nearly as torch as last year. Currently about -7° from normal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Already down to 30 °F in Madison and 26 °F in Middleton. Nearing the dewpoint so it's gonna be a frosty night, hopefully followed by a snow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I know someone who hasn't turned their heat on yet... they don't until Dec... Must have a lot of southern exposure and a ton of insulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Down to 24° at 6 AM. Still a couple of degrees warmer than yesterday. I'm actually looking forward to the 60's over the weekend. It could be the last chance to do some fishing before the water starts getting hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Dark skies to the west, airport at 32 °F, roof of the meteorology building observing 31.5 °F. Precip should get here in the next few hours, some decent bands just west of the WI/IA border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toronto blizzard Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Bold Call I am about to make right now. This more applies to the Toronto crew since most of the sub forum have broken their long streaks of above normal temps , here in Toronto we have not yet and just finished October almost 2 degrees above normal. Despite November starting out cold I think Toronto at least will likely finish above normal for the month and most likely December as well making it 21 straight months of AN Temps at YYZ. Now I might be wrong but the way how I'm seeing things now that's my call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welp, reading in between the lines...better luck in 2013-14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 41°/29° here. Hoping to see some snowflakes as well! Precipitation about 25 miles to the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 ORD finally dropped below freezing today...first time this season. The low was 30. Looks like a decent cold outbreak early next week, especially in the Upper Midwest. Parts of MT and ND may drop below zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magoos0728 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Taking a look at highs for next Monday in parts of ND and MN, things look to get COLD. Hoping some of that cold pushes far enough south for mid-late next week. Not worried about the snow right now as it will come in time, I'd just like a taste of winter....

wisconsinwx Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Based on TWC's interactive radar, looks like there is a mix of precip in the counties just west of the metro Milwaukee area. Temps in the western suburbs are in the upper 30s, so if they could drop a few degrees as the heavier band of precip moves in, who knows we might see a mix. Every time I look at the radar, the mix fills in more, so even in the middle of the afternoon, evaporational cooling must be taking effect.

michsnowfreak Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Brr down in LAF. The lows at DTW the last 4 mornings: 31, 28, 30, 32. This is all because of thick cloud cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Mich- -19F right now in Fairbanks, AK... need some of that rain done here I hear ya. Although, I suppose if we were clear, it would be one of those weather patterns where the afternoon high hits 50F after a morning low of 23F..but being socked in the thick clouds and seeing your high just nip 41F or so after a low of 30F makes it actually feel even more wintry. In the pre-weather-model days I can just see the old-timers on days like the past several saying "it smells like it wants to snow" lol. This is always that trying time of year because you KNOW winter is coming, the colors of Fall are gone but the snow has not arrived....and the wait is on. Like I posted in the Nov 12/13 thread, it seems to be a now-annual custom that many of us northerners tend to wait for our first real snow while areas that average much less snow/winter than us will get one first. In the end, we still will have the much better winter, but we have to wait JUST a bit more and in the meantime see someone else get the first snow.

Geos Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Noticed a few ice pellets coming down in a heavier shower near Antioch about 2pm. Sitting at about 37° right now. - Weather doesn't seem to be keeping voters away around my town! I hear ya Snowfreak. The waiting seems like it lasted much longer than it really does between Halloween and about Thanksgiving when the first accumulating snows happen! Hopefully the 12th storm works out for some of us here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
