Expand Very true. This event was a bit different as this time even Houghton was getting mostly rain due to the lake being so warm. You had to go south toward Twin Lakes area and they got the snows. Houghton is normally enough inland that it snows there yet can be rain at McLain SP in the early season snows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I thought the whole area stayed in low 80s. I just couldnt figure out why they raised highs yesterday lol. They would have been dead on if they stuck with the original forecast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I sort of wish we had a few days of 70 rather than 85. Actually, 89 yesterday was, as mentioned, only 3 degrees lower than the all-time maximum temperature for the month for Toledo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardypalmguy Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Well tonight the coconut palm, spindle palm, foxtail palm and flamethrower palm get to be wheeled back into the greenhouse for the winter.

Chinook Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 For me, it's not usual to check the connection with this USA cold front and associated 500mb trough, and the 250mb wind stream. The 500mb chart does not easily show this. The subtropical connection to our sort-of merging jet stream goes all the way from the mid-Pacific near Hawaii up and then up to the Great Lakes. That's why I decided to save the 250mb North America charts of last month, post the loop and perhaps keep up with the whole thing. The El Nino's effects on the atmosphere are going to pop up in force, and the subtropical jet is the major player for North America. That's the thing. I don't know what conclusions I will get from looking at the jet streams way out in the Pacific every day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 As was the case all year, only scraps of the heat made it to SE MI. DTW's warmest temp for this "summers last gasp" was 83F on Oct 3rd. To put that into perspective, while some places west/north set all-time October warm temps or close to it, Detroit has seen a warmer October temp (84F+) a total of 61 times, and then another 26 times matched this 83F. Time to take the heat repellant off the magnet and reattach the snow magnet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the latest calendar day in the season EVER that MKE remained above 60 during all reporting hours. Another record. 2020 had 3 record highs in November and 1 record warm minimum (63) which is the warmest record minimum for the month of November.

Lightning Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I wouldn't say last winter was crap at all. Brother-in-law near Tahoe had record snows. Sister in Wyoming had near record snows. Nephew in MN had record snows. Friends in Buffalo with record snows. Family on the west side of MI had two of their largest LES events in several years.

luckyweather Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 22/23 was a D- winter for a cold/snow lover west of Chicago. Other than the cold blast (with no real snow) just before Christmas, it had no redeeming qualities. No sustained cold, no snowpack, no big storms. And no mega torches / Morch that would at least add a novelty factor. It’s my nightmare that 23/24 is a redux. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
