Be lucky to see any accumulation at this rate...  oh well...season is young.

i wouldn't count yourself out yet. there is some back-side snow action that may make its way towards you. not as big of course as the main event, but it could still be quite interesting, especially if things happen like the GEM regional is hinting at. besides, we're still 36+ hours out before everything hits the fan. so there is time for change.

climo and trends definitely suggest this is a miss here, but for the hell of it

 

Detroits top 10 snowstorms on or before November 15th (the #1 stretched into the 16th). There have been a handful of snowstorms, but most were long ago

 

01.) 9.0" - Nov 15/16, 1932 (biggest Nov snowstorm on record)

02.) 6.2" - Nov 8/9, 1921

02.) 6.2" - Nov 15, 1925

04.) 6.0" - Nov 2/3, 1966

05.) 5.7" - Nov 6/7, 1951

05.) 5.7" - Nov 13/14, 1974

07.) 4.2" - Nov 12/13, 1959

08.) 4.1" - Nov 11, 1984

09.) 3.7" - Nov 10/11, 1933

10.) 3.4" - Nov 10, 1892

 

How long did they last on the ground?

 

01.) The 1932 storm left 1"+ snowcover for 9 straight days. An awesome start to a terrible winter (this would end up being the longest continuous stretch of snowcover during the 1932-33 season :yikes:).

02.) The 1921 storm left 1"+ snowcover for 7 straight days.

03.) the 1925 storm changed to rain and was down to a T depth the next day

04.) The 1966 storm left 1"+ snowcover for 5 straight days.

05.) The 1951 storm changed to rain so much of the snow melted, but we clung on to 1"+ snowcover for 4 straight days

06.) The 1974 storm left 1"+ snowcover for 3 straight days

07.) The 1959 storm stayed on the ground 1 day

08.) The 1984 storm stayed on the ground 2 days

09.) The 1933 storm stayed on the ground 1 day

10.) The 1892 storm stayed on the ground for probably 1-2 days

 

Moral of the story? Its just SO early.

 

I'm not sure if you or anyone has the numbers, but just for my own curiosity, does anyone know how common big snowstorms (as in 6"+) are for Minneapolis in November?

Ok, too much madness to start winter storm season. These models are insane...

 

got to remember, some parts of this system aren't quite onshore yet in BC and other parts are. until we get better sampling on it, there still will be some variance, hence the spread between the GFS, Canadian, and NAM runs. at least we have a good general start, and imho at least consider winter storm watches for the northern sections of ARX, all of MPX, and northeastern sections of FSD FA's. special wx statements also may not be a bad thing for southern FGF, DLH, most of MKX, GRB, and southern/eastern MQT FA's to at least give a heads' up.

Models seem to be slowing the system down just a bit. Will give the wx offices a little more time to figure things out, but someone will be pulling the trigger soon on watches.

looking at the discussion over at MPX, it looks like 1 more run, and they'll trigger the watches in the evening package, but the warnings will be not until the sunday afternoon package.
