Tom Posted November 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 We have to get a weak reload in after mid-month with some blocking NE. If we do that, 1976 is a great call. The next few days are REALLY important.Indeed, still plenty of things to iron out going forward but I bet it will be eye opening to check back by mid month where we have been.

Esquimalt Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Five days out and we're in the bullseye on Euro. What could possibly go wrong? 06Z GFS is the exact opposite of what needs to happen here. Temps are way milder and any precip from either system has shifted way far South and East. Let's hope it was cuckoo for cocoa puffs otherwise....I personally loved the 06Z. Two significant ontario snow events in the 8th to 15th period lol.

Hoosier Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 The Euro is about as far north as the late week storm can go imo. It is a bit slower than the other models. If it were to slow down even more than the 00z Euro, then it could actually run the risk of eventually getting sheared out by the northern stream.

bud2380 Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Euro shows the storm weakening as it heads east Thursday. Heaviest bands are in SW Iowa, SE NE, and KS and NW MO. Looks like still possibly a few inches in eastern Iowa on this run but 6”+ in those heavier bands. It’ll be fun to watch regardless.

jaster220 Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 BTW, this question is for those older posters on here that can remember the late 70's. Was this a similar pattern that evolved in November back then?? Tom, I don't think even an adult could've followed a "pattern" per se back then unless they were a Met or in Meteorology field somehow. Not sure you realize how much more data is available 40 yrs later. If I were just to go off of memory alone, I would say this November is shaping up to be cold like '76 but potentially much more snowy. '77 was a bit warm with snows hitting later in the month and then mostly NMI not really in SMI. Edit: Using data for KJXN as an example for SMI (mid-point across The Mitt) I see that while 11/76 was consistently colder than 11/77, so far we're starting out thru d3 colder than '76 did, at least for highs if not lows. Snow fell in both Nov's but all in the last week. '76 featured only 1" for the month, and '77 scored 3" so it wouldn't take much to best both of 'em in that dept. Even looked at 11/78 with it's 4" again in the final week of the month. The biggies appear to have been 11/66 with it's 13.5" total (9" depth on the 3rd!), and 11/51 with 9.5" total, again with the most during the first week of the month. So, I feel pretty good about my call that I could see the most impressive Nov of my (adult) lifetime since I was only 2 during Nov '66 and recollect zilcho, lol 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...
