Solid lake effect rain event

Insert what if/too bad about it not being cold enough for frozen. 
 

Did end up getting a couple minutes of hail this morning though.

1.5" total for the weekend.  Looks like we are going back to a bit of dry pattern after today (don't mind in October).  Hopefully get a freeze one of the next couple mornings.

Exact same here - 1.50". Was not expecting it.

INCREDIBLE Fall weather this week. Great for the Fall color show.

Storms missed me to the north by about 10 miles Saturday night, I got split by two cells Sunday afternoon, but I did cash in on about .10" of rain from lake enhancement last night. Almost lost an inflatable pumpkin due to some 40 mph gusts but managed to make the save before it rolled into the street.

Sunny today and refreshingly crisp. We should get a few lake effect showers this afternoon.

Been blessed not to have as much cloudiness as forecast, yesterday afternoon was fine with sun out and then this morning I got hours of sunny breaks with modest clouding up after noon. No rain ever came! The Thanksgiving prize was instead of -1C it only made it down to 3C.

For any Canadians left here, happy Thankgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well  

If skies clear up tonight, YYZ will likely make it down to 2C (35F) as well.

Picked up 0.49" of rain over the weekend. First precip of the month, and most since Aug 30 (0.30") with Sept only netting 0.06". Very chilly wx bringing the Fall vibe to be sure.

My take on the aurora from Thursday night. Photographing one has been on my bucket list for a while, especially after not going out for the last big event back in May because I didn't think the clouds would clear in time over southern Wisconsin.

Took me awhile to find a decent spot in rural western Dane County, away from the light pollution of Madison, where there wasn't a tree-lined ridge completely blocking the northern sky. Then of course when I finally found one it was right during a lull in activity. Eventually another substorm hit and a faint glow appeared in the northern sky, gradually brightening with some pillars visible to the naked eye, although the colors really weren't.

Enjoy!  Getting a little over here too from Huron.

Only some frost was expected, but we ended up with a hard freeze at 28.  Probably gonna dip below 25 tonight.

My parents live in a townhome in Highland Park a little over a quarter mile from the lake. Dad just sent me a picture of some frozen stuff that fell there this morning.

 

Cloudiness prevented us from dropping below 36 in Minneapolis last night.

[A-L-E-K]

Yup, couple rounds of small hail

One of the more prolific lake effect rain events in memory
