But ever since I've lived here, October is a crucial month in determining our weather pattern for the winter. So in conclusion, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan, strap up, do some dead lifts. Your back is going to need the lower back strength for all the snow you're about to be shoveling." I will say that it's exciting to see this 3rd "pop-up" LP that basically has come together just to my west. This is very much like 2007-08. If we could see this repeating into the winter but with cold like a 08-09 or 13-14 then your prediction will be gold! 1 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Back on the road into the Rockies! I love the smell in the air from the rural landscape. Took a peak at the models and the progression is still looking great! Keep up the good work everyone! Edit: The smell of fresh cut hay is what I meant. Reminds me of the younger days as a kid going to Poland and staying at my Grandma's farm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't get much more dull, so the only way is up We so need a strong system to track, even if it's Octo-bomb-ish or Nov 17th 2013 and void of winter action.

Niko Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 2-3 days, we plan on stopping somewhere outside of Denver, then head towards the mountains thru Aspen, Grand Junction and then south on hwy 550 towards Durango, CO. Never took this route before, it's supposed to be very scenic. Hope there is some snow on the mountains! If it's nice in CO, might spend another night and then down to NM/AZ the next day.Sounds neat.

I could be wrong but that's the type that gets suppressed to the red River and then cuts due north once it hits the SE ridge. It's one of all of our favorite types. Especially in December or January. I'm anxious to see what happens with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 The rain has stopped here. Here at my house I recorded 0.55” of rain today. Over at the airport the official reading was 0.62” so far. Its now a warm and kind of humid 60° with a dp of 58. The high here at my house was 68° vs the official high of 64 at the airport. Either way a very warm start to the month of November 2016. Grand Rapids now has had only one month in the last 14 months that were below average (April) and in April GRR mean was 46.0 and that was -2.0° and there was 9.4” of snow.

Grizzcoat Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 From Paul Pastelok on AccuWeather. Key Points Nov. 13-17:1. There can be a few northern branch systems that will lead to cold shots following and even a little bit of snow. The southern branch of the jet is pushed south.2. Still waiting to see what a typhoon will do between Nov. 11 and 12. If there is a re-curving typhoon, then the cold and stormy weather later in the 11- to 15-day period will be enhanced, deeper troughs and heavier precipitation.3. Still looking at an impressive upper pattern later in the 11- to 15-day period. The upper ridge axis should be near the West coast and with the upper trough axis from the Great Lakes south to the central Gulf Coast states. Multiple northern branch systems will drop into the East carving this upper trough.

Nice snowstorm there in SEMI. Wonder how that winter turned out though. November snowstorms usually don't account good for an up-coming winter in my books, but who knows, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. I'd lean towards the latter.

Most times you'd be correct. Not sure how Detroit proper made out, but overall '66-67 is one of the best winters across SMI and included a Mega-Dog 20-33" storm in January that still ranks as the biggest ever for many locales.

You are correct, I got that bassackwards, didn't I? (nice stat grab btw) All those cities listed are a positive departure for snowfall, even Detroit. Not sure which reflects the greatest departure against normal though.
