cyclone77 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Really nice surge of warm air here on the southeast side of the storm. Temp up to 62 here. Look at the contrast over Iowa. 65 in Des Moines, and in the upper 20s over northwest Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Really nice surge of warm air here on the southeast side of the storm. Temp up to 62 here. Look at the contrast over Iowa. 65 in Des Moines, and in the upper 20s over northwest Iowa. that's quite a contrast! 24 and moderate snow...1.5" so far. noticed the wind has started coming from the ne, as it was calm all day. the lake contribution should begin soon. The upcoming snowstorm could be one of the largest snowstorms in the recent past across much of Upper Michigan. In fact, this storm could break the top 10 all time storm total snowfalls for Marquette, with the most storm total snowfall since April 2007.

smoof Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I wish I could have taken a road trip up to the porcupine mountains area near you weatherbo, What an epic first big storm of the season for you, probably 12-18" system snow followed by 12" lake effect. With winds gusting near 30mph the whole time, makes me wonder how deep your drifts will be at the end 5' maybe? crazy stuff for November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only wind to really impact me a lot would be a N wind. with a ne wind, I should do ok in re: to drifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 3.5" so far, and 8" on the ground looking good so far except I think I need a doctor. I've had a boner lasting more than 4 hours. MOST SNOW WILL OCCUR OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF MARQUETTE COUNTY...INCLUDING THE HURON MOUNTAINS... ISHPEMING... NEGAUNEE AND GWINN....WHERE TOTALS OF 25 TO 35 INCHES ARE EXPECTED.

michsnowfreak Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I love that such a powerful storm is going to dump the heaviest snow in the lake belt. Not fair . I couldnt handle the isolation of a whole winter, but DAMN I wish I was with bo right now for a week or so! If the lakes dont freeze too early, this could be an epic snowpack year up there because it is rare to lay down such a deep, dense snowbase off the bat. DEFINITE UP trip coming this year after my hiatus last winter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 storm reports from central Minnesota/ west Wisconsin 2014_11_10_356pm_storm_reports_minn.jpg Pretty sizable bust for Minneapolis, considering that even the most conservative forecasts called for a minimum of 8"...

Chitown Storm Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Snow totals were held down from the TC on south due to a changeover to freezing rain and sleet. The snow totals may have been a bust, but the ice accumulation on top of the snow is a complete surprise and not forecasted. I can walk on top of the snow without making a dent in many areas. People need to use the snow blowers to churn up the ice/snow. People really struggling with shovels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Marusak Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I'm glad this storm shifted well north of my area early on. If I was up in the Twin Cities area(especially south) and hoping for/expecting a major dumping, I'd be sick watching the razor-sharp southern edge of the snow drift away to the north. i was quite pissed that the system shifted the warmer air north like it did. the area of heaviest snow hit where I thought it would be (St Cloud to the northern Burbs and nw WI). and even the radar at 9am wasn't looking too bad (from what I could see on my break at Andersen). but when I looked outside in Cottage Grove and also when I came home to the north end of St Paul, it was a thought of thinking that "momma nature was worse than the mom sung about by Cartman in the South Park Movie". but that's how things can be sometimes. at least those who got the big numbers and/or are getting the big numbers still should be happy.

Probably would just be best to put some salt on top of it while the temps are still warm, let it melt some, then shovel it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEFINITE UP trip coming this year after my hiatus last winter! Not a travesty in the least, it is typical for November, what would be unfair is if the same have nots from last year (Cyclone, some inland parts of S Wisconsin, much of the Plains) continue to be have nots this year.
