IWXwx Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Very windy this afternoon and evening. I was driving down I 69 watching semis getting moved. It was kind of scary. FWA's top gust as of 4PM was 40 MPH, but was consistently gusting well into the 30's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 We certainly haven't been cheated in the wind department lately. Flakes floating about here right now. So that's the 7th day of this month with some snow. Beats last November's total of 6 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Watched multiple rounds of flurries and light snow showers today. No real accumulation at home though. Made it up to 30°, which actually didn't feel too bad compared to the last few days! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Looks like tomorrow night could be the first shot at zero for many of us. Looks like the high pressure moves right over the DVN area around sunrise Fri morning. We have a point of 3 above here. DVN has their northern CWA point around zero. For Hawkeye, and other areas with an inch or more of snow on the ground it's definitely possible they go below zero. Cedar Rapids and Dubuque got to sub 5 pretty easily the other night, and this setup looks more ideal for temps to tank. 18z 4km NAM for Fri at 12z.

josh_4184 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Heavy snow currently pushing 1.5-2 inches per hour, Had to get some gas probably should of stayed home, between the wind and the snow its very dangerous outside right now for driving.

DAFF Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Best November ever !!! Driving around today it seemed so recent that I was out taking care of the snow. Had a few small hiccups today with some tired wiring but all in all a EZ first significant snow in the books. Having a quick nap and out for clean ups around 1am. Unreal how quickly winter has taken over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 About 3.2" in my area today from the clipper. All that snow made for some horrendous driving in Toronto. Was stuck on the road for 4 hours till i got home. This brings my season total to 6.3" for the season. YYZ is about the same. The average snowfall for November is 3", lmao.

harrisale Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Intense blowing snow yesterday. I work at a research station out in the farm fields, outside of the city. It felt like being at the south pole research station all day. Tundra-like (and mid-January) feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 EDIT: corrected and updated tonight. Snowiest November on record for Grand Rapids MI?

cyclone77 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Much of northern WI already down around -10. Pretty remarkable for mid Nov. Even Black River Falls and Sparta, near DLL are below zero already. Down to 9 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the Rock River is nearly froze over now, which is just unbelievable for such a wide river in mid Nov. I crossed over the Mississippi into Davenport earlier tonight, and it was still free of ice in that stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Overachiever at LAF this morning with a low temp of 8˚. Second single digit temp of the month. A couple of others in Indiana did it too this morning: Peru/Grissom hit 6˚ and Zionsville dropped to 8˚. Pretty rare occurrence for LAF. Only 3 other Novembers had two days with min temps of 9˚ or lower: 1964, 1976, and 1986. The longterm WL COOP has had two Novembers that did it three times: 1937 and 1977.
