jaster220 Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Thanks, glad you did too. The Friday event was all rain in Toronto so we were due for some snow. What are your thoughts on the Tuesday system? There have been multiple model runs this evening showing another system pulling in right behind the main one late on the 15th. I thought mby had zero chance and I've been busy enjoying yesterday's storm. Reckon I'd better start checking up on this next system. Don't really wanna watch snow miss me and hit Niko tho.

jaster220 Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Its funny how the snow melted so fast, considering low sun angle this time of the year. Temps did remain above freezing, but in the 30s all day. Have to remember that it barely got to freezing to create the snow. Plus the ground was warm underneath. Were it winter and the ground was cold or frozen, then 38F air wouldn't have melted it so quickly.

jaster220 Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 (old) GFS keeps the snow shield 1/2 a state south of that NAM track, and the new V3 lands in between the two. GEM sides with NAM and gets snow up here to Marshall, but looks very brief (6 hrs??).

JB's thinking is pretty much in line with the idea of a warm up post 18th through Thanksgiving week, moreso across the Plains first, then the ridge builds into the MW/GL's. The farther east and north you go in our sub, it gets a bit tricky bc even though the models are showing a ridge at 500mb, this time of year, esp with a snow cover across S Canada, you get sneaky blocking HP's come down south which bleed colder air across the norther sub in this type of pattern. Nearly all the models are now highlighting a trough build across the west/SW Week 2 which "fits" what happened during the first 10 days of October that sparked the extremely wet pattern to open the month. With that being said, the 11/22 date might need to be adjusted as we get closer towards Thanksgiving week to see where/when the storm systems track on the models. SW Flow is going to roll Thanksgiving week and to close out the month. Check this out though, both the GEFS/EPS have trended much colder for a lot of us next weekend into early the following week as they "missed" the NW NAMER ridge. Big time colder trends have resulted in this correction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Ongoing wave transfer across Siberia is in an ideal placement to perturb the Polar Vortex. Models are suggesting it relax next weekend but a more significant disruption may be in the works late Thanksgiving week and to close out the month. All of this bodes well for extreme cold to seed into North America Thanksgiving week. http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/intraseasonal/temp30anim.gif http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/intraseasonal/temp10anim.gif 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minny_Weather Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 We went down to the restroom and stood by a heater during halftime. We left after the Ozigbo touchdown made it 54-28. Martinez is the man. I think we may be picked to win the west next year.

From APX: https://www.weather.gov/apx/Gales_Of_November Another even stronger storm for the western lakes region was the Fitzgerald II storm of 11-10-98.

When I lived in the Grand Traverse region, we had a storm in the early 90's and a lake freighter pulled all the way down into East GT Bay and anchored for several days letting the storm pass.

It's actually kinda fun having the models "miss" the pattern at h5. Just when things look bad/boring there's suddenly a flip and some interesting options pop up! It's great that you're savvy with the LR stuff which most of us other than perhaps OkWx aren't adept at reading. I'm just now after a decade of following models getting a little more comfortable understanding the short range (72 hrs or less) side of things. Because of this, I feel this "sub" has the best balance of peeps posting on both. And it's not just your knowledge, but it's your communication style that's very much appreciated.

jaster220 Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Something to monitor closely. Jaster, what do ya think on this system? https://accuweather.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/220875f/2147483647/resize/590x/quality/90/?url=http%3A%2F%2Faccuweather-bsp.s3.amazonaws.com%2F03%2F32%2F72e250284d35bddff5fe4674e6ed%2Feast-storm-1111-am.jpg From what I saw and commented on last night, that's a reasonable blend of model trends. I'd be thrilled with more SN (tho I was hoping to cut my grass one more time, lol) Edit-12z NAM is slower and more organized. Seems stronger and throws more precip northward into the cold side of the storm. If you look at the NWS headlines for snow down south it seems to match those by the local offices in KS and MO. Per the GFS, there shouldn't be any headlines in some of those areas. I think the trend will be our friend. Nonetheless, it's early in the season and we may fight warm conditions like we saw Friday morning. 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...

Well, I am thinking this might be the same scenario (trackwise) but this time, colder air is in place. NOAA has a couple of inches for me regarding this storm. We will see how all this plays out. Very interesting storm to say the least. Anything west from you is nothing, just dry and cold. Although, it can still hit parts of the extreme eastern side of Illinois. Lets see what the models show in the 4pm discussion. Yes, I wanna cut my grass at least one more time. Not sure if I should have my service continued in Springtime again or have them come one more time for fertilizer b4 Winter.. 1 Quote Snowfall for Winter 2023 -24 for Metro Detroit Area Oct 2023: 0.2" AN Nov 2023: 2.2" AN Dec 2023: 0.5" BN Insane!

westMJim Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 I see GRR reported 3.8" of snow yesterday and that tied the record for the date. Still have a solid snow cover on the grass and roof tops here at my house. Snow on the ground for two days is kind of rare for November. It is cloudy and a cold 32 here at this time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OKwx2k4 Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 From APX: https://www.weather.gov/apx/Gales_Of_November Another even stronger storm for the western lakes region was the Fitzgerald II storm of 11-10-98. Fortunately by then, forecasting had advanced substantially and ship's captains and owners had decided to quit rolling the dice with The Witch of November. When I lived in the Grand Traverse region, we had a storm in the early 90's and a lake freighter pulled all the way down into East GT Bay and anchored for several days letting the storm pass. I'm pretty sure the era of GL's ship sinking storms is a thing of the past - thankfullyYes, thankfully that era is over. I do remember "Fitz 2" vaguely, but not in detail. I just always had a soft spot for the history of the Fitzgerald and the old great lakes captains. They had steel in their nerve back in the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKwx2k4 Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 I don't know if I mentioned it here earlier or not, but I am incredibly grateful and in debt of life to the great veterans of this nation. They laid down and risked their lives for me and this wonderful country and I will continue to believe in, honor, demonstrate and live out what I know they paid the ultimate price for. So, humbly, Thank you very much veterans. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OKwx2k4 Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 I really think the models just flashed a fluke of a pattern that warmed everything over here up when it should not have at all. I see absolutely no indication at all of why there would be anything but maybe moderation back to normal before a blast returns. Longer term, Tom wrote on the stratosphere (he says it better than I can repeat) and when you couple his thoughts with the new (FINALLY!!!!!) trends in both AO/NAO domains going negative, theres no stopping this thing.

jaster220 Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Snow in Marshall is on shady sides of buildings or patchy at best.
