She buys my round if we do, I’ve got to buy dinner if we cannot. Highs still consistently in the 60s thru week 1 Im not a golfer, but I assume as long as there isn't snow on the ground, you can golf.

Still need grass to able to grow for the greens and temperatures need to be comfortable to a degree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 My rain total last night through this afternoon is 2.02". We underperformed all morning, but a heavy batch at the end really boosted my total. My 10-day total is up to 5.66". Our deficit from seven weeks of no rain has pretty much been wiped out. We may get a bit more rain Monday night, but most of the rain over the next couple days should be southeast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestMichigan Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 On 11/2/2024 at 9:11 AM, Stebo said: Desert of Ohio I grew up there and still have several family members living there. It is crazy dry down there. Wells are running dry, smaller creeks have stopped flowing, the cracks in the hard clay ground are exactly what you would think of when you think of dry western scenes. Many trees basically didn't turn color, they just lost their leaves. I know of farmers that didn't bother harvesting corn because it would cost more to harvest than they would get out of it. They just turned it under and are hoping for crop insurance to help out until they can plant next spring. It is everything you would imagine severe drought would look like in an area that doesn't normally experience those conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 Overcast, wet wx starting yesterday, and going through tomorrow. Need the precip. Just soaking showers, but that'll work as it keeps coming in waves. Only around a 1/4" so far, but a nice batch moving in shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus there's the old rule of thumb "It's always colder on the golf course" so 55 in your neighborhood feels a bit warmer than out in the open N-NE breeze we tend to get this time of year. If we can maintain highs in the 60s with some rain through the 17th, I think good Thanksgiving golf will be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 I have a friend that pretty much, if there is grass showing, he is golfing. Yes he will golf in the 20s & 30s!!! Not me, honestly 60s are my lower limit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 I was out there tonight, it feels so warm and even humid. It was 15C for a while but I knew it was even warmer when I went out again - it had risen another 1C to 16 now its 10:30 its 17C! Overnight low could be 17 which would be incredible for Nov 5 (Avg is 1C). DP of 16C by 1am! I forget what the lows were for the 2020/2021 events - I feel this may surpass those for that category. Our lows during these cool season heat events are getting amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, but to be fair snowsqualls in early Nov is rare or has been during the past 25-40 years in my region. The king was a major dump on Nov 2 1999 around here we were shy of 1.5/2 feet with drifts, Mid-Nov 2000 was insanity and the snowiest on record, a major lake effect snowstorm starting Nov 16 2024 that also gave the southtowns of Buffalo NY their historic 2 meter LES.

Lightning Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 November is not a 'winter' month. Yes winter weather happens and there are some great historic November events. If your expectations is for solid winter weather you are going to be greatly disappointed with November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your expectations is for solid winter weather you are going to be greatly disappointed with November.Good points. November snows are rare. Thing is, we’re just looking for a day or two of below normal temps. The ensembles hint at it and then trend warm. That said 15° above normal will at least get us to low 50’s at some point.Perhaps we will get a December to remember.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detroits avg November snowfall is 1.9" and we have not had a below avg snow November since 2017. Snowflakes at some point in November are very common but big snows are very rare. Not thinking it's a December to remember but as climo cools rapidly, if this projected wet winter pattern starts to develop, could have some fun times (thinking Jan/Feb are more fun than Dec). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is an interesting Climo fact: Nov. 1975 (Edmond Fitzgerald sunk on the 10th) and Detroit had 1/2 the month 60F++. Then around the last week of the month we had a couple cold days and snow. Month was way above normal temps and way above normal snowfall No worries; it is coming. I would rather get a great pattern change and lock in for the most part, rather than a 1-2 week pattern change and then go right back to crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClimateChanger Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 Records falling all over. The 82F at Zanesville matches the November monthly high. The 80F at New Philadelphia, Ohio is the latest 80F+ on record and only the second observed in the month of November... the monthly record is 81F from November 4, 1961. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive numbers all across the Buckeye State. Just across the river from the far south, Huntington, West Virginia has reached at least 86F (30C).

hawkeye_wx Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 Ok, it's getting pretty nuts here with regard to rain. Yesterday, models had pushed much of the last round of rain well to our east, leaving only a couple tenths for us along the dry low track. So what happened? I got another 1.49". We got a few tenths last evening, then the models really missed a narrow moderate to heavy band that popped up right through Cedar Rapids this morning into early afternoon. My 12-day total is a whopping 7.16". It's crazy how we've flipped from desert to rain forest in such a short period. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
