hawkeye_wx Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I picked up 0.40" of rain. The Cedar Rapids airport recently gusted to 54 mph, but so far this wind event hasn't felt like anything special. I'm sure it would feel like a bigger deal if it was also snowing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveNay Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Winds seem to be backing off several hours earlier than forecast here. Interestingly, they never feathered the wind turbines today, so I wonder if the FPL met's had a different read on the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 15” so far (halfway to 30” forecast). Power’s out, road snowed over completely, no tracks at all. Gotta conserve my battery now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom inch or two on paved surfaces is very wet. Probably similar to what others in the sub-forum experienced in the storms earlier this month. Pavement temperatures must still be fairly warm because I shoveled over 8” off my wood deck but only 5” off my driveway. Maybe some compaction too. About mirrors our November 11th storm. 9" on the grass, a heart attack 5-6" on the cement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Valpo gusted to 66 mph earlier, which is highest in the LOT cwa so far. Would probably have places routinely gusting over 60 mph if it were not for the extensive clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annual average is only 30.64” I guess we are just far NW enough to have less GoM influence. International Falls only averages 24.26” annually.

Although it shows the mean rather than the average, you can see what you described concerning the Gulf's influence. Precip really drops off as you head Northwest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Quite windy over here too. Being at the northeast end of a long lake we must get 5-10 high wind warnings a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Hardly a hall of fame setup but it looks like there may be just enough delta T for a bit of lake enhancement/effect of rain/snow around the southern end of Lake Michigan as the sfc low passes through Sun-Mon.

wishforsnow Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Glad I was off from work due to expecting family coming up from Ohio. I talked to them Tuesday telling them to forget it due to they would be stuck sitting in Chicago when the flight was cancelled which it was due to the snow up here. It was pretty brutal here yesterday. Now I will be spending the day digging out before the next one this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy taking care of the birds all year... woodpeckers and black caps mostly, they're the only ones that stick around. Ended up with far less snow than predicted. Instead of 10:1 slr's, it was more like 7-8:1. Without power, I fell asleep pretty quick once it got dark so I didn't get a final measurement but this morning the the driveway has 18-20" of wind-packed concrete you can pretty much walk on top of and it was clear prior. Still no power... felt like the longest night ever, so quiet and dark. I'm addicted to my fan I'm pretty sure! Happy Thanksgiving guys! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Highest gusts yesterday at MLI/DVN were both 53mph. Very windy day, but a slight underperformer for this area. Happy Thanksgiving! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Several reports of gusts 55-60 around here and a few 60-65. Had about a 1-2 hour period where sustained winds were never less than 30 and as high as 45 between 11 and 1 yesterday which I thought was more impressive than the gusts. Neighbor across the way lost an 800 sq. ft. unfinished room addition. The roof ended up flipping over on the main house roof and sliding off. Looked like the famous video of the roof flying off in Hawaii during hurricane Iniki lol. (Neighbors an idiot probably used staples and Elmers glue building it ) Happy Tryptophan day y'all 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueWaves Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Gonna be a snoozefest around here for the foreseeable future. So tough to get early sustained winter thru the heart of this sub. When it did happen (2000) that WAS winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 LOT afternoon afd made a good point about the possibility of heavier bursts of snow on Sunday despite model qpf being on the low side. Forecast soundings have fairly steep lapse rates all the way up to 500 mb. Low level temps look a bit problematic but it may at least look pretty intense at times.

Maybe our first ever “Snow Squall Warnings” could be issued in our neck of the woods? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
