Niko Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 I'm debating to start a thread for next weekends storm system...lol, lets not get ahead of ourselves for Thanksgiving week! Although, there is a hybrid clipper-like system that week that is showing up on the ensembles for our region. The hype is starting to increase I'm guessing!!

westMJim Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 In other news, the sun has been spotless for 11 days. I think this is the longest stretch this year of being blank. If anyone has a link to a site where we can see the calendar days of when the sun was blank that would be helpful. At this time the 11 days are the 2nd longest for this year the longest so far was 15 days back in March. This year has seen the most spotless days(79 so far) since 2009. While not a real calendar you can see the sun spot numbers by date by using the archives pull down on the spaceweather site. http://spaceweather.com/ No snow or rain here at this time and the temperature here is now at 36° 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why even bother getting my hopes up anymore?No kidding. We'll be lucky to see an event of even 4" this year. The primary storm track closest to us is looking to set up to our North with a good Winter for the Dakotas (again). Imagine a family with two kids. Kid #1 gets a bigger, better present 70% of the time. Both kids get horrible presents 20% of the time. Kid #2 gets a bigger, better present 10% of the time. We are kid #2.

ThanksConsider that as your punishment for stealing everything from us. I don't care if we get rain, snow, sleet, graupel, or frogs. I would just like some precipitation to show that we are capable of getting moisture before Winter begins. Because right now the primary storm tracks are not even close to us and I see no sign of that changing. And that has been our case for everything except the clipper of Feburary 2015 and Groundhog Day 2016 (which we dry slotted in btw). I am sorry if you don't get what we've been going through for the past 7 (soon to be 8) Winters. 1 Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.

But, it is easy to see the general patterns going into Winter, and unless there is a drastic change in our favor, which would require pigs flying, we are going to be slotted again all Winter in favor of our North and East.

Iowawx Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 This sucks, snowing hard in Davenport IA only 59 miles to my east. Combined with the fact Chicago has already seen accumulating snow, it seems Illinois in recent years has been the place to see major snow storms. Based on models, I am starting to think I may not see my first snowfall until December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud2380 Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Nothing good for Iowa on The gfs for the foreseeable future. Next Friday’s system will be a significant rain maker it looks like for most areas. We don’t typically see significant snow in eastern Iowa anyway until December.
