Met1985 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Snow is steady here this late afternoon in Wausau. Temp has dropped to right at 32 degrees and the snow is starting to stick a bit of the grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I should get my first freeze tomorrow morning. However, the precip part of this system is passing north and south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Martin Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Looking at potential for multiple frost(s)/freeze(s) here in Northwest Ohio tomorrow night, along with Wednesday Night as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 First flakes here in CR. Just flurries and not accumulating, but I’ll take it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Picked up 0.06" of rain this evening. Some light rain falling at the moment with a temp of 38. Should get a brief period of wet snow at the tail-end of the departing precip shield in the next few hours. We warmed to 50 earlier, and held in the mid to upper 40s until a few hours ago when CAA began to knock us back. Forecast soundings showed above freezing temps up to around 850mb earlier, so the process of cooling the column is taking longer this far east compared to areas further west. Looks like it will cool enough just in time before the precip departs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Huge snowflakes falling now mixed in with the rain. Temp has dropped to 35. Nice bright banding overhead on the radar. 2nd snow of the season and it's only October 15. Not too shabby! EDIT: Snow is actually sticking on grassy and elevated surfaces with the temp now down to 33. This will be the first accumulating snow of the season. EDIT2: Looks like about 1/3" so far. Now all snow, but flakes much smaller but pouring down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I only saw a few flurries last night. Our temperature is, again, lagging behind what the models suggested. We are just now nearing 32 for the first time this season. I'm hoping the brief time near freezing will limit the plant damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Ended up with 0.3" of snow early this morning, which is the earliest measurable snow that I can recall. It actually melted overnight, as the ground is still pretty toasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 I think I might tune out until the last few days of the month lol. That looks like the next significant synoptic system. Could be us or east coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the snow we had accumulate around Oct 26 1997, and Oct 22 2013 I can't remember getting snow accum in Oct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Blustery and cold (35 for the high), but was able to melt most of the 2" of snow that fell last night. Certainly has felt more like November lately than mid October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually included flakes in my 7 day Sat night/Sun AM because the signal has been there for a while. Wouldn't be surprised to see flakes well inland at times!

beavis1729 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Some interesting weather going on in NA. Fairbanks, AK has yet to see any flakes this season so far...it's the latest on record without a T of snow. I believe the prior record was October 8th or 9th. Also, from another forum: Very impressive to see DFW have their first high temperature below 50 of the fall before NYC. A -30 high temperature departure this time of year is pretty extreme. A new record low maximum temperature of 49 degrees was also set. (The previous record was 60 degrees in 1923.) This is the earliest in the season for a high temperature in the 40s. (The previous record was October 22, 1936.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 MLI officially on the board for the season with 0.2" of snow early this morning. DVN just missed out with only a T. Good chance our next flakes could be a month away. I tried to enjoy every last second of it as I was aware of that possibility lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Martin Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 When compared to the actual air temperatures tonight, tonight's short term forecast models are not handling the cold that well. Fully expect a widespread frost, with a higher risk of freezing conditions before sunrise Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osubrett2 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Didn't think it was going to happen, as clouds hung around, but a late rally down to 36 brought our first light frost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 1st official freeze this morning at DTW with a low of 31ﾟ. The last freeze and Spring was April 29th, so the 2018 growing season was 169 days. It was very frosty this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddy likes NAO is progged to plunge negative in the final week too, which is something that has had a hard time happening in seemingly forever.
