Jonger Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Is that a meso low on Superior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_4184 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I have been watching that band... It must be CRANKING there. Yes dropped in inch in about 30 Mins so far, probably get 2 inches out of this band alone, looks to settle down, but more bands are aligning off the lake. There does appear to be a meso low in Superior north of Newberry, could drop some serious totals when then comes on shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Most of the snow staying west of 131 along the I-94 corridor. Looks like Harry and I may miss out on most of the "rippage". Starting to look that way. Needed a wnw flow and this is west to wsw and with the moisture not as robust as models etc suggested it is not helping either. Always something with LES. Models are useless.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 By personal experience, the greatest totals I ever witnessed were last winter near Grand Marais.... I also like the remoteness of the area, it's far less traveled than the Keweenaw. Munising is a good town, but they seem to fall behind Grand Marais based on experience. Livability, Munising owns Grand Marais though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Munising. Non-Michigan would be the Tug Hill, without a doubt. That's a good question: Which New York town? I think I'd go with Pulaski or Fulton. Redfield isn't really a town.

Jonger Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 There needs to be a lot of warning for areas going to be affected by that meso... Those snowfall rates and wind speeds will be life risking... Meso low LES squalls are blinding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 300+ if you moved to the Tug instead. The Tug is the king of LES, but its a bit warmer and more prone to melts. That's a knock... But its definitely the king of LES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug has snow from November to May. WNY is prone to thaws, but warm air rarely penetrates the Tug with any decent elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Hope you get some thundersnow. Nothing beats it! Thanks! I experienced it during the Blizzard of 1993 at my home in Lancaster, PA. I probably did a "Jim Cantore" move... lol Models have good banding making it all the way to me.... Supposed to make it out this way after 2am. I hope you get it! Did you guys get some today? How much is on the ground there? The Tug is the king of LES, but its a bit warmer and more prone to melts. That's a knock... But its definitely the king of LES. This is the same thing I have thought about. The U.P. gets many less "Warm" Low Pressure systems. I haven't looked at any climo maps, but my guess is that the U.P. is probably 10 degrees colder, if not more, than the Tughill. I'd probably get my wife to live int he Tug before the U.P. though. It's closer to our families in PA and isn't as "close to the North Pole" as she would say. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Since LES is the big topic tonight and everyone has discussed the best places on the US side for snow. What areas in Ontario get the best LES? I would imagine downwind of Lake Huron holds the best spot somewhere. 4km NAM snowfall in the next 48 hours.

What areas in Ontario get the best LES? I would imagine downwind of Lake Huron holds the best spot somewhere. 4km NAM snowfall in the next 48 hours. Lots of good places since we're surrounded by lakes, so very dependent on wind direction. Here's a TV graphic from tonight showing one of the hotspots for tonight's WSW winds.

What areas in Ontario get the best LES? I would imagine downwind of Lake Huron holds the best spot somewhere. I lived in the Muskoka region of Ontario for two years, and they got some pretty nice lake effect snow bands off of Georgian Bay there. It is also very cold there, so the snow cover pretty much lasts the whole winter.London, Collingwood, Barrie, Bracebridge, and Huntsville all do well. I lived between Bracebridge and Huntsville. They also get nice uplift because they're a higher elevation and also have Algonquin Park (higher hills) for orographic lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Scratch that... Snowing 2+ inches per hour with 30+ mph winds. I made it 1/2 mile and turned around. I hope you'll have some video(s) and plenty of pics to share with us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
