BuffaloWeather Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 If it's not going to snow, bring on the warmth! I hate the cold, enjoy the snow. I am thoroughly enjoying this warm weather. It looks to continue for at least the next 2 weeks, possibly longer unless we get the Pacific to cooperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing worse than a quick cold snap and some accumulations followed by a hot mess like last season. The snow and cold will be here before long... I have also long said, that for whatever reason, people tend to forget what happens in December when the Winter is over. Last Winter it was the 13th snowiest December on record at Detroit, but so many people acted like it was a "non Winter" (and keep in mind, we still had more snow from January to March than most). On the flip side, coming off the historic 2013-14 Winter, the Winter of 2014-15 was another severe Winter. November, January, & February were brutally cold (and the last half of Winter had very deep snow as well). So once Winter ended, people were lamenting how this was the 2nd straight severe Winter - not as severe as last, but still a lot worse than normal. Naturally they had long forgotten that it was the 2nd least snowy December on record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturally they had long forgotten that it was the 2nd least snowy December on record. The winters of 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 were complete turds. Yes the winter of 2014-2015 was cold, very cold at times especially November and February, but December 2014 we tied the record for the least snowiest December on record with just a T, also tied again the following year in 2015. February 2015 we were also whiffed again by “GHD II” almost completely. I agree though, the winter of 2013-2014 was the harshest winter I’ve ever experienced by far, weekly 4-6” snowstorms, the arctic unloading relentlessly, and not to mention one of my favorite storms ever, major winter storm “Ion”.

That winter featured damn near everything besides a white Christmas ironically. Thundersnow in February, snow depth of 12” for 2 weeks, hardly any thaws, just an all around punishing brutal winter. My father was born in 1961 and remembers the winters of the late 70s very well, including blizzard of 78, and agrees 2013-2014 was the harshest winter we will ever see around these parts . This late November warmup is really going to chew away at the negative departure we built up this month. 58 degrees today after reaching 61 yesterday.

cmillzz Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 EXTREMELY unlucky that the thermal ridge doesn't pass over our area until Monday night. Monday would be very warm if the ridge could move in just a little bit quicker. Just awful timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should still get a couple days in the 50s out of it (maybe near 60 on Tuesday especially if the front slows down a touch). Enjoy what you get.

cyclone77 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Have mid 60s in the point for tomorrow, so another warm one on tap. Record in MLI/CID is 70/69, so we'll give it another good run. Don't think we'll perform as well as Friday, but mid to upper 60s look possible. HRRRx keeps temps around 60ish, which is about 6-7 degrees cooler than what it forecast for Friday. It did the best out of all the models regarding temps, although even it was too conservative that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I've noticed this year when we get these long, benign weather patterns, when the shift does come it's just as dramatic on the flip. Something to look forward to, perhaps...? Not much going on here. Weather story is the wind later today. Despite being above freezing yesterday, the ground is still covered in snow imy, but I noticed last night down in Negaunee there were only piles and patches.

Those areas should finish the month a tad below to a tad warmer than average. I noticed CMI is -0.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Despite having similar 850 temps, we are way behind last Friday. Friday's torch had everything going for it. Today, on the other hand, we started colder, the wind is modest from the sse instead of strong sw, and a pretty good cirrus shield has been overspreading the state all day. Friday, we were 70 by now, but today we're only slowly rising into the upper 50s. I think all the locals and nws may end up too high(mid 60s).

I might be wrong on my stats but I believe if we can pull of a positive for the month of November that makes 24 out of the last 27 months to finish positive. CMI reporting 65 now, my personal station recording 67. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Living along Lake Michigan, it is amazing how quickly the weather can change here with a slight change in the wind. We had a west wind that kicked up around midnight and sent temps up to 47, only to have an E west come in overnight, and 6 hours later the temp was in the upper 20s.

cyclone77 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Not the crazy warmth we had on Friday, but another outstanding day today. Less wind than Friday as well. Made 63 here, and 65 at MLI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Beautiful morning sky after a wild and windy night. Went to bed it was 32, temp spiked during the overnight to 41, now down to 37. Lost probably an inch of snow. Forecast is for 45 before it starts to fall back, so after 33" of snow and 1 month to the date with snow cover, I'm not sure what'll be left after today other than piles. Winds ramp up again later today into tonight but should target mostly the Keweenaw and shoreline... Certainly not the look I was expecting heading into the first part of December, but it's beautiful and I love it nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
