dmc76 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Had a very very light dusting on the car this morning, just a little powder around the window frame. Some flurries in the sunshine gotta love snow in the sun anyways. Added up to nothing, typical stuff here in the lake effect donut hole of the entire state though Never understand why that area in Michigan never gets LES.... Very strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Never understand why that area in Michigan never gets LES.... Very strange Downsloping, the elevation to the west of Mount Pleasant is much higher than the city itself. Occasionally though they do get lake enhancement from the NE off of Saginaw Bay.

harrisale Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Brief period of SN here tonight, frigid out there, sitting around 22F. Managed to pick up about half an inch and a pavement coating after sundown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 12.3" on the day at SBN That's one of the biggest November lake effect snowstorms at SBN in the past 65 years. I have a list of them and it would put it at #2, only trailing the November 25-27, 1977 event that dumped 24.3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Cleared out early this morning and dropped down to 13. Below zero as close as northwest Iowa, where it's -2 at Sheldon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 About 20° here right now. Probably would have gotten colder if clouds would have completely cleared last night. Local met's calling for 1-3" of snow tomorrow night now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Pretty solid numbers at SBN still watching random flakes flying around here and there (as it was for most of the day yesterday)...a dusting at best is visible on some surfaces...

Chicago WX Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 As of 7:00am, the low temp at LAF this morning was 16˚. A bit chilly. Reading reports of several accidents in LAF/WL last night from the minor snowfall. LAF drivers are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Congrats to SBN. Does anyone know if the airport is measuring snow again? I see that they list that total as a coop observer. How far away is the observer from the airport? With the highly localized nature of lake effect, for official records do they keep the liquid equivalent that the ASOS reports or do they make the coop observer do a liquid equivalent of their measurement to overwrite ASOS? I could see a case where the airport gets no snow and the observer a few miles away gets blasted and the snow totals and liquid equivalents don't match up. And vice versa, the airport could get blasted and report lots of liquid equivalent but the observer a few miles away gets nothing and so it's reported that no snow fell on 0.60" liquid.

Chicago WX Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Good questions Trent. Pretty sure the airport is not doing snowfall measurements, and the COOP is the official right now. As far as location of the observer versus the airport, I typed in the lat/lon of the observer which is marked by the blue target on the right...and as you can see, the airport on the left side of the image.

dan123 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 2.63" of precipitation locally since October 1. Typical stormiest time of the year is certainly underwhelming this year. a sign of things to come this winter unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Took this yesterday...the first dusting of the season DTX still thinking about an inch tomorrow night...but Im not a fan of the dry NAM. Since this system has been shown it has shown that it would weaken in Michigan, but the ever-changing NAM is too dry. It IS interesting though how robust the models are with LES early next week. Usually when they are that robust far out its a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the elevation is a bit higher there? Fun microclimates. That is strange. Gile is like 25' higher than Hurley. That shouldn't make a difference. The more intense bands must have been more focused on that town instead. --- Nice pic Snow Freak. I can guarantee I'll have pictures on Sunday to post of the snowfall!

michsnowfreak Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Early season is always the hardest here...even though we get the flakes, often lake effect will hit the snowbelts before a good synoptic system rolls through, so its the waiting game while the winter wonderland is so close!

Thundersnow12 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Yeah it was nice snow globing last night in those heavy bursts. On and good flakes here all morning. I think that makes 6 or 7 times now I've seen snow flying already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 The South Bend media mets as well as the IWX mets were on NWSChat last night lamenting their huge bust. I think they still could have saved face by dropping the warning bomb, but they kept thinking that band would move and lose intensity before reaching warning criteria, but it didn't happen. One TV met said that it was his biggest bust in almost 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh_4184 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Have about a foot on the ground at my house right now. Don't even have the snow blower ready yet or the snow tires on my wife's car, guess been slacking a little this year. At least the sled is ready, I guess we know where my priorities are lol. Monday - Wednesday still looking pretty good for a decent LES setup for the lakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm not sure. If LAF pulls off a high of 24 or lower, it would be the first time it's happened in November since 11/13/1986. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
