I sure hope not. I don’t want to see big storms 4 days out that fall apart overnight

I was referring to a gulf low moving north/northeast  along or just west of the Appalachians. Irregardless, of folks who hinge on every model run. From what I can tell at this distance a good chunk of Ohio stands to get a decent early season snowfall. Seems rare to me. Not every storm is going to be the blizzard of'78. But if you don't want it blow it back my way.

computer guidance is near unanimous with showing above avg precip this winter following that general track.

I still have my doubts on it not going west of Toledo. So rare to see strong lows not cut up towards Fort Wayne with big snows for Chicago and Milwaukee this early in the season. I cannot remember in my life an “app runner” in November. Maybe 2002?

They have been plenty of apps runners in November. They were just glorified cold rain storms.

That said, I'm hedging my bets on the near-miss phase and strung out POS to the east. .

Looking like a rainer. No real Arctic air and late phase. 

Happy that you guys in most of the GTA snuck in that legit snowstorm. Poor lakeshore and Hamilton/Niagara haha. 

Since I only got 3" followed by rain my expectations are still very low haha. Im still content with 2-4" and would classify that as a big win for my backyard.

The one that wasn't posted is the Canadian.

Which, for what its worth, was not as progressive with the southern piece. Sfc low in still in E KY at 72h compared to WV region on GFS/Euro. Heck of a thump in west central OH with that one.

Find this setup very interesting, early season Apps Runners are not something I am well acquainted with. Seems like the northern stream piece has been stout and consistent enough that getting at least SOME snow here imby seems likely. However, phasing systems have not been kind as of the last couple years, so I'm hesitant to buy the hype overall. Sat/Sun are going to be very revealing especially as all the pieces get sampled.

Agreed, just not enough cold air in place ahead of this thing, even with a big phase. Same system in January would be something...

Phase happens later and the flow is too progressive for anything respectable at least for us. Snow line is to far north. Track is ideal on all 12z runs, expect UKMET, but lack of cold air means primarily rain. I'd be disappointed if this was in January but its only November. Still got time, nothing concrete yet, so let’s wait and see.

A bit on the early side to feel confident in snow amounts, but my early thought is 3-6" downwind of southern Lake Michigan... primarily LES as it appears most of the system snow will pass south/east.

If it were colder/another time of year, I'd be going with over 6" without thinking twice, but there are concerns with surface temps and the DGZ being very mismatched from the omega, which means flake size does not look ideal.  The fetch is phenomenal, with a connection to Lake Superior, which goes on for many hours.  Delta T and equilibrium heights are sort of middle of the road, so I don't see it as an event that will produce extreme rates, but certainly could be fairly heavy at times.  Highest amounts may occur more inland than usual due to the combination of a pronounced marine influence and strong low level flow.  

Finally, an impactful wave/erosion event also looks likely along southern Lake Michigan with a long duration of 40-50 mph gusts, and this may end up being a bigger story than the snow for the shoreline area.
