The NWS office in Chanhassen did record 0.2” Ended up with 2.38" of rain here in town at the coop station with 3.16" at another site in town. But the biggest surprise was the rain totals along the shore here. Up to 6" of rain! Tofte had 5.75". Incredible! Just as much rain as snow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartman Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Time to lean on a crappy weekend starting tomorrow. Gonna be a waste of a dry day tomorrow with suicide weather followed by a wintry mix Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Light snow showers moving through now. Nothing sticking tho. Should have a chance at snow here this weekend, but most of that looks to be just to my south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Lots happening in the last couple of days. I used the Iowa state local storm report plotter for this, and it appears they have some upgraded software that makes it easy to see multiple snow reports, and distinguish them from rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 Several good squalls today that quickly dropped vis to <1/4 mile a few times. With the winds it looked quite legit out there at times. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a follow up to last Saturday. In just 6 days it really put on a show. The oaks around the area look very nice now after getting off to a very slow/late start for fall color. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Nice manageable slide into winter. Played golf last weekend with mood flakes this weekend. Gotta get outside and finish those last second winter preparations around the house today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 A windy day here. Winds of 15-25 mph, gusts up to 35 mph out of the west. Temp around 40 right now, but should be on its way down soon as colder air filters into the area. Gale warnings out for the big lake. Heater will be kicking in a bit more today, as the wind always strips the heat from the house much quicker than calmer weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Today is the eighth anniversary of the November 17, 2013 tornado outbreak. Numerous long-track and intense tornadoes raked across mostly Illinois and Indiana, with widespread wind damage extending throughout MI, OH, WV and PA. The most significant was the deadly Washington, IL EF4. I remember stepping outside to go to work at 3 AM and knowing something was going to happen because the air felt darn near like a tropical rain forest, in Wisconsin, in late November. A few warnings were issued in southern Wisconsin, although we escaped significant impacts. It was the first live severe weather coverage I was involved in here at the local TV station where I work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 On and off flurries and snow showers most of the afternoon/evening. Localized dusting. Top 2 winter event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unforgettable day. Was still in LAF back then and there were like 6 tornadoes in the county. There was an EF3 that started in the far southeastern corner of LAF... went mostly through an industrial area (and it was a Sunday) before heading into rural areas so that one could've been quite a bit worse on a little different path. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 30 and breezy with snow showers/flurries. Mid 20's away from the lake in the Arrowhead region. Nothing out of the ordinary here. Just a little taste of winter we normally get this time of year. But I guess for you guys in the southern areas, this is more like mid winterish stuff.

Hoosier Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Reminder about the lunar eclipse tonight. It's kind of a special one. You have to go back to before the time of Galileo for a partial one of such a long duration. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cary67 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Still think below normal precip and slightly above avg temps for this winter. Below normal snowfall for our area. Another 3-4 week window of thread worthy winter weather will present itself before this April. Let the season of medium to long range model scanning/hoping continue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
