Spartman Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Hit 80 again today. It is certainly going to be the final one for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up at my house and down at the Northern in MQT, just a block or so from the lake and a 1000' lower in elevation. How much snow have you had so far?

weatherbo Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 1 hour ago, michsnowfreak said: How much snow have you had so far? I'd estimate 15-16". 25 for the low with flurries a good deal of the night but a little steadier snow showers now. With a few more inches possible sun/sun night, a clear cold Monday night is on tap. Point has my low at 15 and some single digits in the interior (record low territory). this looks fun: The problem is that with the background flow so weak, this isn`t a case of the typical lake-effect belts seeing snow showers. Instead, it continues to look like there will be a band of low-level convergence set up somewhere over the U.P. and Lake Superior which will become the focus for a band of steady if not heavy lake-effect snow. The question is where. Better chances right now are between Big Bay and Munising, and perhaps as far inland as Gwinn and Chatham. Would not be surprised to see some small part of this area get 6"+ of snow between Sunday morning and Monday morning, especially given SLRs will be on the high side for this time of year as well (around 15:1 to 20:1). There should be enough northerly flow for light lake-effect snow accumulations (an inch or perhaps two) over the western half of the LES belts as well, especially around IWD and the Porkies. Overall this time period should be considered high risk for a forecast bust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Snow cover, low clouds, flurries, and 24 degrees. Tryn' to stay in the Halloween spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Will be skiing soon enough. Today is our 4th day in a row with snow otg which has to put us in the top spot or two for October. I’ve lived in Minneapolis for a little less then five years and have already experienced the snowiest February, April and now October on record. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Would be nice if the tropical remnants could do something interesting. Looks like it could be a Louisiana or so landfall with the question afterward being how it interacts with the trough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that was only about a 400 foot elev difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 We may very well be expecting another wet Halloween at this rate. Models are not only hinting tropical remnants this week, but also a cutoff low. This week looks worse than this past one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 23 for the low. Snowing pretty hard with 1" of new snow and a few more in the forecast. Just south of Marquette could see upwards of 8" today. Cold enough even the shoreline is seeing snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 It's looking more and more like we will see snow here in October for the second year in a row. The average for FWA is once every five years with an average snowfall of a laughable 0.3". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueWaves Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 GRR on possible merging/phasing lows for late week.. Quote Much of the upcoming week will be dry, but could be interesting around Thursday. The developing tropical system in the Gulf is progd to move over Louisiana Wednesday as it begins moving north. At the same time the developing southern Plains low will be starting to move east. The GFS has been advertising that the two will move out separately, but the ECMWF suggests that the two may phase a bit and move northeast. The 00z GFS suggests that the remnant tropical system will stay south over the Ohio Valley, but the trailing southern Plains low may be far enough northwest to spread rain over the CWA as early as Thursday morning. The GFS paints 1.2-1.5 inches of rain southeast of a Lansing to Kalamazoo line. ECMWF ensembles hint at some decent rainfall too, perhaps due to the phasing with the tropical system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Looks like some flakes will get into at least western Chicago metro tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Hard to tell if we squeeze out any flakes in October in Detroit. We've actually had snow 7 of the past 8 octobers (only 2016 did not have anything), but all 7 years were just a trace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 It has snowed all day. Measured 4.2" on the deck railing which I cleared off yesterday when I shoveled, and looks like another 3-4" before it tapers off by morning. Impressive snow by October standards. Average for the month at MQT is 6 inches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Not a whole lot of Gulf landfalls this late in the year as far west as Zeta looks to be. It's even a few days later than Olga in 2019. Juan in 1985 is one of the other ones. Still some questions on the details of the interaction with the southern Plains system. It sort of seems like the stronger model solutions of Zeta tend to keep it eastward and more of a distinct entity after landfall, but not sure if that is a coincidence.

With colder air dumping in early Friday, I thought maybe the departing system would spit a few flakes. In fact, my p-n-c earlier showed a rain and snow mix Friday morning. It has since been removed. Just hoping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Mood flakes most of the day totaled 0.4” bringing our monthly total up to 9.1” High temp today of 29. Feels and looks like mid winter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Could see rain/snow or snow showers, tonight into tomorrow morning. Would be the first snow of the season here and for most of the metro.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Another overcast Sunday. Suicide weather. Three Sundays out of four were like that this month, two with rainfall. Tomorrow will be the third overcast Monday in a row for this month. Wash, rinse, repeat. Have also yet to experience the first freeze of the season. The latest first freeze is on November 25, 1931.

weatherbo Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Finished with a very impressive 9.1" for a storm total. Just southeast of here, the MQT WFO set a daily record yesterday with 8.3" and a storm total of 8.9" (.72 liquid/ 12:1 ratios). The snow depth this morning is a foot up here at my house and the season total sitting at 2 feet... 20" of that falling since the 20th. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Another 0.5" of snow fell here this morning, our third snow event this month. I've received nearly a foot of snow over the last two Octobers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
