michsnowfreak Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 4th consecutive freeze at DTW today (31, 32, 29, 31). Its been interesting as the skies have been quite cloudy during the coldest part of the morning, if not the temps really would have tanked.

weatherbo Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Looks like I'm in store for some strong winds later tonight. My area of the county has had 8-10" of rain the past 30 days and with a good deal of leaves still on the trees near the coast here, I have prepared for a possible power outage.

Geos Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Bo, you thinking a wet snowfall will hit your location before the trees are bare? Some trees down here has lost most their leaves, others are really lagging behind it seems. High of 50° today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some trees down here has lost most their leaves, others are really lagging behind it seems. High of 50° today. Rain/snow is in the forecast later, but I think snow mostly for interior. Before any substantial cold arrives that gives me snow, I believe trees will be bare. After this weekends wind, there won't be much left. I'm concerned with the soft ground here more than anything. High was 42, but should rise to 49 by 2am before crashing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueWaves Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I believe Maple City, in the in the Leelanau Peninsula west of Traverse City, has the highest average snowfall in the lower. I think they average around 155" a season. Another area that does well is that 1500' high plateau just north west of Gaylord, they average around 150" a season. The Bear Lake area is great for snowmobiling for sure. They get good snow and have the elevation to keep it longer then areas to the east, like Grayling, or west, like Kalkaska, of them. The area north of M72, south of C38, west of US27 and east of 131 is a great winter play spot, great snow, some small lakes and lots of off trail areas to explore. The only problem I can really think of is there is a ton of sled traffic in that area. I personally prefer ridding south of M72, a little less snow on average but way less sleds and way more play areas. Former NMI resident here. While Maple City MAY have the highest average, it is a fairly small region of higher totals. Its also not classic snow-machine territory. Lots of private land/farms vs. the miles of forested public lands and trail system inland of Kalkaska & Mancellona as you mention. And yes, I too preferred the "paths less travelled" when I was riding in my portion of the Pere Marquette State Forest. Those DNR trails were tore up and full of drunk sledders at least on weekends - horrible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Power flickered on and off several times last night. I don't mind wind events when precipitation is involved, but yesterday was a good example of the kind of useless wind events that I don't care for. Perhaps the churning of the waters could help the water temps' descent, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoaster Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Really gusty here in the GTA, clocking nearly 35 mph gusts, sustained near 20 mph, temps hovering around 41 EDIT: Clocking some impressive 45 mph gusts around 11:30a! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I just saw that South Bend does not currently have a snow observer. All snow reports from SBN will be missing until further notice. I can't believe that they can't find someone to measure their snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFF Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 evening news said waves 20-28'...... Love to see some pics of that..... Dark grey day with bighting winds, by far the coldest one yet. My son saw grapple on his bike a few minutes ago, looking outside I see wet spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may not be groomed but still fun to ride and snow stays deep enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Wind woke me up several times last night. Some of the leaves were whipped up into little piles around the yard. Only about 43 for a low overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1vek Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I was camping in a 3-season tent out in the Brighton State Rec area last night. It got very windy last night and kept me half-awake from maybe 4am to 6am. A few of the gusts did a nice job half collapsing my tent. Luckily it "popped" back out when the winds calmed.

Chinook Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I wonder if Ohio/Eastern Michigan could see a gale with the cold front on Halloween night. The 12z GFS predicts a gale on Lake Huron with 55 kt winds in the boundary layer as the low moves NE of Sault Ste Marie on 06z November 1st. This would be just after midnight on Halloween, the scariest hour of the year, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hm8 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Be on the lookout for a possible nice shelf cloud with the line moving through Semi to those of you further SE... I didn't get outside until just after it passed but I could definitely see a distinct low/high cloud line to my south.

Geos Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Low of 31° here this morning. Pretty nice day so far. Looks like a prolonged streach of easterly winds this week with showers. Just laid some sod, so that should be the ideas weather for it! Some really strong winds at 850mb on Halloween for the western Lakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 There are still major differences with the "Hallobomb" storm (self-named) between the Euro and the op GFS. The 12z GFS still has a strong slp well north of Lake Superior by 0z Friday, while last night's Euro appears to form a secondary slp near the IL/WI border in the same timeframe. I realize that bombogenesis is unlikely, just having some fun with this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 ...I realize that bombogenesis is unlikely, just having some fun with this storm. Really too bad, as I think it's not all that far away from being a deep, bombing MW storm. It still looks decent, but compared to what's possible this time of year it's not impressive at all to me.

Even the high wind potential doesn't look that impressive for most of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
