Get a good look at that grass, it's going bye-bye until April. Usually it's may, but I hope you're right about the pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Toledo was 73 degrees today, which was a record for the day, and it has never been 73 or above for this late in the year. The highest record high between Nov 18 and Dec 31 is 72 deg (Nov 22) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 It reached 70ºF (21ºC) here today which has to be one of the warmest for so late days I can remember. There was another extreme warm day either in 2012 or 2013 where it was about 17ºC about this time. Obviously I wish every November day was like this. Still have leaves on some trees which is remarkable. 5 hours ago, ConfusedKitten said: We hit 65 in London today with clear skies and light winds, not quite as high as I was hoping but we still broke the record by a degree. I'm putting my bike in storage now so I have room in the garage, didn't think my last ride of the year would be in t-shirt and shorts . Same, rode the bike in shorts and a t-shirt. I guess I can check that off now for things I haven't done in mid-November before. 16 years ago there was 50 cm of snow with drifts higher than that about now. I took the bike out during each anomalous day thinking it was the last of the year and turns out there is a new warm day every 2 weeks or so! Maybe on Christmas Day I will take it out once more...

Going to miss the nice weather. Thanks. DTW hit 73 breaking the record by 4F, though it was not the latest 70 on record. It was technically the latest 73 on record lol. My two work bffs and I went for a walk on lunch at our favorite park and while it wasn't hot out, walking up and down some hilly trails and wearing a turtleneck I was actually a bit warm. I won't miss the weather as I'm ready for snow, but I also don't have the impatience for snow I had years ago. It will be snowing off and on for the next 5-6 months, winter is on its way, no need to be impatient because I don't see mounds of snow in November! If we get our first flakes today, it will still only be 6 months from last flake of 2015-16 (May 15th) to first flakes of 2016-17. Had we received flurries in mid-late October like we had the previous 4 October's, it would only be 5 months between snow seasons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's drifting everywhere. Not coming down too heavily but the wind is insane out there. I can hear it rushing against the walls. I'll get pics when the sun comes up. I understand trying to measure snow with such strong winds. There's a science (maybe even voodoo) to it. But while typing this, I realized that who's going to squabble over an inch or two, because soon you will be measuring in feet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Storm spotting last night, snow squall currently. EDIT: Actually have a trace of accumulation. Don't ever buy into that "warm ground" crap. Time to get the snowboard out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its more of a skill than a science Id say. Careful estimation is the key. And in super wind blown snow a snowboard is useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow change over was around 230 here. Temp down to 23 already with a windchill of 8. Main band from lake nipigon has set up just east of here along the immediate shore. 1-2" has fallen so far.... wind the big story. Nice to see it white again.

weatherbo Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 It's really rocking out there. Power continues to flicker but holding on. Snow has also increased in intensity the past hour. Saw a report from granite island, 10 miles n of Marquette of sustained wind at 56, gusting to 64 and a nearby bouy with waves of 17-21'. Heading out to play. highest gust at my house 52mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I hear you, I go for walks nearly everyday with the wife as is our tradition after work. We are going to replace that with cross country skiing this year if the weather will cooperate.

hawkeye_wx Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Apparently, Cedar Rapids got a few flakes late last evening, but I was in bed and didn't see it. We only got down to 31 this morning, although we've only risen to 34 this afternoon. We finally see our first hard freeze tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I had some graupel earlier around 2AM I believe, might have even been wet flakes mixed in there as well. CMI recorded some gusts around 50MPh this morning. Those winds were cranking. It is way behind, but the trees are finally almost stripped completely bare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Congrats on the snow fellas! Had a brief snow/sleet shower here around midnight. Didn't last long but came down good for a bit in the gusty winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Still snowing, albeit much lighter than earlier. Ended up on the low end of the 'cast with 4-5". Temp has remained in the low 20's all day, and the wind is starting to ease a bit with the big gusts fewer and fewer. I suspect the snow is here to stay for the season.

josh_4184 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I am around 4-5" right now snowing at a pretty good clip currently. Probably get another 2-3 before its over. Areas around Kalkaska probably be in the double digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConfusedKitten Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Snow is finally starting to accumulate after a couple hours of light flurries. Should have at least a couple inches tomorrow morning, probably a lot more than that in a few localized areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Was snowing pretty hard in these squalls earlier here. Ended up with vis close to 3/4SM too, a bit of a car topper dusting too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Nice uptick in snow the past hour or so. May squeeze out 6 or 7" before it's all done. Considering the strength of this storm and the cold air that followed, I'm a little disappointed in the snow totals imby, but it's a start at least.
