Hoosier Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Have to think it's up there. Agreed, for a relatively "minor" event...it was pretty damn cool to experience. Did you have thundersnow where you were? It's funny how many details I remember about it. I came out of the theater and it was drizzling and then as I got closer to home it changed to snow and just started ripping. Probably some of the heaviest/sloppiest stuff I've ever seen. It was enough to knock down some branches despite there only being a couple inches. I stayed up and watched it for a while but then finally went to sleep, only to be woken by a loud snapping/crashing sound from a tree in the front yard.

BuffaloWeather Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Some torchy looking stuff for sure. Also an impressive trough before that. I love late Oct/early Novs being warm. We gotta get these lake temperatures up before Lake Effect season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was certainly heavy wet stuff though. I was at a bar that night, take that FWIW , but I remember seeing it snowing like crazy out the windows. Everything was covered when we made our way outside later, but it was definitely water logged stuff. EURO showing some heat building by D10. Not nearly as "blocky" downstream as the GEM or GFS. Oh boy, day 10 op model rip and read. EPS meh to a super torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 EURO showing some heat building by D10. Not nearly as "blocky" downstream as the GEM or GFS. Yeah the Euro has been very consistent for the last few days with showing warmth beyond the strong trough about 6-8 days out. GFS is blocky like you mention but a bit flat across the US, GFS tends to be too progressive in these situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 would love a flip to the warm pattern to stretch out fall a bit here down the home stretch winter can wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I agree - days like last Saturday can wait till the very end of the month, imo. Low 60s that are in the forecast are great this time of year. Kind of doubting will have very many 70s left this year. ~ especially with the lake in the 50s now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 went into Marquette today, and snapped some pics on the way. Cool and mid 40's at my house but temp did climb to 50 along the shore between Big Bay and Marquette. Some real wilderness up here! Trees near bare at my house and elevation, but closer to Superior there's still good color. near Big Bay here, if you look over Superior in the distance 40 miles or so you can see the hills of the Keweenaw (zoomed way in).

daddylonglegs Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Friday night may be our first frost of the season. DVN is currently thinking about 32. I've had frost on the picnic table a few mornings now....haven't noticed any damage to any of my plants yet, zinnias, marigolds, nicotiana, etc still continue to flower. Bees are still around (bumblers)...i didn't see any monarchs today, but earlier this week i saw several out in the yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Thanks guys! I know it's hard to find true wilderness east of the Rockies, but this place has it. I'm in love already. The sun would have made the pix explode but in true fashion, lake clouds hung on. Man, I need to get up there sometime. Beautiful country.It's been a very nice fall down here so far. Color change is progressing gradually. My lawn has a good amount of leaves down, but much it fell last week, not this week. you're too close to not visit here Killing me here at work today Bo. Backpacked Isle Royale this summer and did quite a bit of UP sightseeing. Place is incredible and I'm missing it already. never been there but def on my list. i'd like to go late fall to avoid people, what was Summer like there? Nice Pics Bo, some day I'll have a place in the Keweenaw. I considered the Keweenaw, Josh, but I chose here because of the close proximity to Marquette. I like the young college town atmosphere if I want it. Also where I'm at in the Hurons, it rivals the Keweenaw in snow. This area also trumps the Keweenaw in elevation, which was one of my deciding factors for moving here. Hope you can convince the wife at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I like Gaylord for Norther Lower (High Elevation) and its big enough city that has all the needed stores, restaurants, etc. Maybe I may have to move near you and become neighbors some day.

Geos Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Great pictures Bo! I've been in that area a few times in the summer. Beautiful country. You're definitely in the snowiest area for the entire Midwest. Probably going to see a light frost tonight. Already 40° here. Correction 37°.

stormtrackertf Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Talk about the urban heat island effect. Howell is at 38°F to the northwest, Monroe is at 39°F to the south, but at Detroit City Airport it's 49°F. I guess it may have more to do with the light winds considering the usual cold spot, Ann Arbor, is still 46°F.Frost advisory for north of 8 mile, but the coldest temperatures seem west of the CWA.

weatherbo Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Cold morning in N Wisconsin, I see Laona is 22! clouds cleared here and it's down to 33 and I can see frost on the deck railing. Good Point about the elevation (huge impact on LES) and proximity to Marquette. That is why I like Gaylord for Norther Lower (High Elevation) and its big enough city that has all the needed stores, restaurants, etc. Maybe I may have to move near you and become neighbors some day. I love the Keweenaw and it was a tuff choice between here and there..... you never know! You should have moved to the Tug. More snow, more mountains, and closer to me. A few issues I have with the eastern lakes snow belts. 1. TOO many people in the region as a whole... I like solitude 2. The snow belts there, the Tug in particular, are confined to a fairly small area, and the Erie belt freezes yearly pretty much. 3. While the snow rates off Erie and Ontario are some of the most impressive, I don't like the frequent thaws that eat away the snowpack. That said, that area has the most impressive event totals of the snow belts, and if I lived there, there would have likely been one more nut walking around filming in that epic cold lake blizzard last Winter!
