wisconsinwx Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Its amazing how much more sun you get over there.... The lakes pretty much keep clouds and snow in the forecast nearly every day to every other day here. It's pretty much a good thing all the way around for snow lovers, it doesn't get too cold at night with lack of radiational cooling, more frequent snows, and cloud cover keeping the snowpack from disappearing. Only bad with the frequent warm ups you can get at times with cutters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 Had some bursts of snow that would be almost considered moderate coming back from Racine tonight. Nice -SN showers right now. Temperature falling, wind increasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Some flurries tonight on going, but nothing more than mood flakes. This is our 7th day with snowflakes so far this season. How brutal would it be to be in, say, Duluth this week? Bitter cold and have not seen more than a dusting of snow yet on the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I dont want to jinx it, but the GFS for some time now has been hinting at a light swath of snow on Thanksgiving affecting much of lower MI. It has the classic clipper look but is very meager on qpf. But the just in NAM all of a sudden gives DTW 0.12" qpf. Something to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the NAM is showing 3 to 4 inches for my area (my beloved lake enhancement due to SW winds.). We picked up 3 inches from yesterday's event, so it looks like winter!

Very cold temps aloft, should definitely help with accumulation even with minimal QPF (as mentioned). ON should get in on a bit of the action as well. High temps at YYZ shouldn't get above freezing until Saturday so it looks like we will have snow cover for a few days before it gets burned off over the weekend.

I'm very thankful for the light waves of snow this week, whether it be WAA like Monday and tonight's potential snow, or clippers. I can only imagine how boring and uncomfortable it would be for snow weenies in Duluth or Fargo, assuming they have bare ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Sun fully out now which had pushed us over freezing. Some snow starting to melt but I think falling temps + early sunset may save some of the snow cover as we approach the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 About 26° here. Sunny though. Dusting of snow still hanging around. Not sure where MKX is getting the snow from tonight. Models have it up around Sheboygan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 The only thing I can think is they are projecting a slight south trend. Should be some snow on the ground and perhaps in the air when I'm there this Friday through Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFF Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Another frigid November day. Hoping for some nice Thanksgiving snow tomorrow! A light coating as of this AM. Nice to see the dull of brown tinted by the beauty of white. One thing comes to mind this AM is the duration of the cold this month. Just a few super warm days during the tornado outbreak, returning to winter as of late. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and has fun with their families. Here in the north its just a regular work day with lots of great deals at the shopping centres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still getting out almost everyday for a bike ride or a least an evening stroll to acclimate and build up my cold tolerance. Happy Thanksgiving to our friends south of the border. You guys get a parade?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
