sbnwx85 Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Interesting spread across the city of South Bend. South side got about a dusting. North side with a good inch. Hearing reports of 2-3” just over the state line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Sort of an interesting event here (at work) on the western fringe of this thing. We kept getting pulses of light snow for a minute or two, and then not a flake to be seen. That went on for over an hour. Up in the sky you could see well defined cloud features from overhead and points west, and just a solid sheet of gray from overhead and to the eastern horizon. Kind of a cool experience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted November 22 Share Posted November 22 The often wrong TWN hourlies and day chunks had my first flakes this evening - never happened. WG (has that site been abbrev before?) didn't show any afaik and has spotty rain overnight. My lows are still way abv avg over 6C during midweek. It will also be 6C for the high during the next few days - always 6 this month. Is Eastern KY getting snow before I see flakes? Had way more brightness and sun than expected Thurs, was doomed to be permaclouded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did better than I thought would occur as it snowed nearly all day here with occasion moderate rates. It came in pulses and in between the pulses there was some milky sunshine that would cause the temperature to jump a quickly above freezing. Melting would occur until the next batch of moisture would move in drop the temp and it would snow. Most of the day thing were coated but by 3-4PM the temps stayed above freezing and with the warm ground temps and it was all gone by 4PM even with light snows continued on and off a few more hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoboy645 Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 In other news, the rain and snow the last week here has bumped 2024 up to #4 all time for precip at Madison with 47.23 inches. The only years ahead of 2024 at this point are 1884, 2018, and 1881 with 49.19, 50.64, and 52.91 inches respectively. I think we can surpass 1884, and mayyybe 2018 if we get a QPF bomb at some point in the next month. I don't think we reach 1881 at this point unless something very strange happens, especially with the incoming cold/dry NW pattern. Although, at least yesterday we continued the overperformance streak at least further to the east. An area of Dodge County from Beaver Dam Eward got 6" of snow, which is definitely an overperformance. It'll be interesting if the streak continues as we start winter here. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 A bit of snow on tap tonight into tomorrow am. Higher terrain could see up to 6". Looks like winter is starting to settle into the region. Here in town, very little with the warmer waters of the Lake keeping temps right around/just above freezing on an E wind. Typical this time of year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical this time of year. The NAM has been trending extending the snow south to brush Minneapolis along the cold front. We’ll see what the Hrrr brings as it comes into range. Might see a quick dusting overnight here before the prolonged freeze begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty remarkable given the extended dry stretch we had after the spring faucet turned off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a bit unexpected. Could end up with a little more along the shore here in town than forecast. We'll see how the rest of the day unfolds. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Snow chances have fizzled here. Probably just a few flurries is all I’ll see in the headlights tomorrow driving to work at 6am. Always enjoy a good flash freeze though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Fell below freezing at 8:35am at the airport. Had some snow showers but nothing accumulating this far south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Light, wet snow still falling at 10 am with maybe an inch on the grass here in town. 2-3" being reported across the area early this morning. Final totals will be a little bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The city station on the water not the Marquette WSO. Has gone to November quite a few times the past few years, and they are still waiting on their first freeze this year First freeze at the lakefront Marquette station yesterday Nov 24th 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 It was a very dark day, likely the most bleak of the season thus far. I was under 15,000 lux and most of daylight was 10K or lower with the last 90 mins being under 1600 lux! Essentially the sun may as well have set at 3pm - so damn dim!

RogueWaves Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 I'm heading the opposite direction Friday, but the lake looks to finally produce just north of here per APX: Significant snowfall accumulations are expected in the usual snow belts of northwest lower and eastern upper, particularly during the Friday into Saturday time frame. Moisture appears to be very robust during that time and forecast model soundings look phenomenal with inversion heights through the roof (or in this case 20,000 feet+). The dendritic growth zone (dgz) which is between -12 and -18 C would be entirely in the sounding promoting large snowflakes which would stack up nicely. Actually, I can`t remember seeing soundings reaching this magnitude for this long of a time period (60-72 hours+). The mean steering flow looks to lock in out of the west northwest but embedded short waves could cause the flow to waver a bit from time to time. Either way, would not be surprised if one to one and a half feet or more of snow falls in some areas during that time. In addition, gusty winds later in the week could lead to considerable blowing and drifting snow. Post Thanksgiving Day travel could become risky at best with near zero visibility likely at times in the snow belts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 Obviously it doesn't happen as often as I think, but looking at the radar last night with the precip creeping north and halting at the Ohio border, can't help but laugh at how often that seems to occur. Doesn't bother me as much this go around as precip would've been rain but still. Not usual for storms to be missing south this early on... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't turkey day, I'd probably road trip up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnwx85 Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 Saw some flurries on the way to work. Best lake effect snows will be to the north this weekend. If I can squeak out a DAB I'll be satisfied at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
