Stebo Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Foggy as a can be downtown, probably 1/8th of a mile when I was down there about 30 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Just saw some snow flurries in the fog here in Athens. Very fine, very light, but maybe the second time in my life that I've seen that in person. NWS ILN posted some pretty cool pics of hoar frost at their office Saturday morning on Facebook. My personal favorite is probably the spider web covered in the stuff. Apparently there was some very spotty light snow in parts of SW OH Friday night/Saturday morning in the fog too. https://www.facebook.com/NWSWilmingtonOH/timeline/story?ut=43&wstart=0&wend=1451635199&hash=-7390641805794768704&pagefilter=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillsdaleMIWeather Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Surprised noone else has posted about this yet, 0Z GFS is hinting at a possible Low CAPE, High Shear Severe Weather System next Sunday, with highs in the low to mid 60's.

IWXwx Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Pretty amazing that my p-n-c has a high temp on day 7 that ties the record for the day (1946): Saturday A chance of showers. Cloudy, with a high near 59. Lots could change, but that record may get blown out of the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 The 00z and 06z GFs both show what I think would be likeable scenarios for a fair amount of the subforum, as far as snowstorm potential mid-month. It's been a LONG time since we've seen what the 00z GFS in particular has from 240hr to 276hr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Downtown Detroit earlier this morning in the fog. Don't see stuff like this too often around here compared to say, Chicago where the marine influence is much stronger. 12289466_10153291778786732_2215207023181879382_n.jpg Neat pic!

It's been a LONG time since we've seen what the 00z GFS in particular has from 240hr to 276hr. There has been no shortage of fantasy range gfs app runners and ohio cutters. I don't think a day has gone by where one hasn't shown up on at least one of the 4 daily runs. But who knows, we always have that blind nut squirrel thing to hope for. edit: and today's 12z version is a 984 low over Chicago with widespread fantasy backlash snows.

buckeye Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Shaping up to be a banner December for the n. plains and extreme western/northern extents of the sub. Meanwhile we'll keep the bbq fired up down here in the southeast flanks in case anyone wants to stop by for a beer and a burger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the potential for that type of cutter to come to fruition this time is above average, given the strength of the ULJ and the fact that we have a formidable STJ to work with. Another thing to consider is typically, these lead systems (the one some are tracking for severe weather potential) push the baroclinic zone far enough south to favor a further SE placement/track of subsequent system(s).

Always a possibility, it just seems these storms head nw, wind up, send thru the resulting front, and then we cool down and immediately recover to mild again. There's no staying power to the cold...and it's not even that cold to begin with. Would like to see the arctic hp factory set up in w./c. canada but not happening with the pac firehose.

BuffaloWeather Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 130" annually would be a nice tally to have. What's the story with that island of 80-100" to your ESE? Higher patch of terrain I'm guessing. Noticing the fog reports coming in to my south and it seems to be making progress northwards. Pretty cool image on Detroit's tallest buildings above^.

Powerball Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Thanks to more of a downsloping wind, Detroit proper and the eastern suburbs managed to mix out the fog/stratus today (by late morning/midday), with temps getting into the low/mid 40s. Meanwhile, temps are still stuck in the mid-30s in the tiny stratus of lingering fog/stratus around Ann Arbor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Extremely dense fog right now, it might even be more dense than it was last night under the Dense Fog Advisory. Just a SWS out for the fog tonight, but visibility in my neighborhood is probably only a few hundred feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Just to put the warm up coming this week into perspective. Average temps for KBUF Dec 11th High: 37.3 Low: 25.4 Dec 12th High: 37 Low: 25.1 Dec 13th High: 36.6 Low: 24.8 The predicted temps for next weekend are near 60 with lows in the upper 40s. Average temperatures will be 20-30 degrees above normal for highs and overnight lows. Some crazy stuff. WHILE PACIFIC FLOW ALOFT AND SOUTHERLY SURFACE WINDS WILL HELP BOOSTTEMPS TOWARD 50 THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...THE AMPLIFIED 500MB RIDGE /INWHICH 06/12Z NAEFS ENSEMBLES BUILD TO NEAR +2SD/ WOULD MAKE 60S APOSSIBILITY FOR THE WEEKEND.

Yeah it should have been up a while ago, it was pretty obvious we were going to have more fog issues tonight. Hopefully tomorrow we get out of this fog pattern but it doesn't look too likely.

Latest snowfall departure map - last 30 days. Lol at the little jackpot over Detroit. Hopefully it lasts all winter haha. It's a bit odd though as while we all did well with the Nov 21st snowstorm, this area was the least hardest hit. A few other dusting since buy that's it. Areas to our NW got a ton of snow with that storm and do not average that much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
