Niko Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Next week, my forecast shows temps in the low 40s for highs. That would feel good. I bet it disappears and gets replaced by 30s. 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!

james1976 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 I like how most , if not, all of us have had snow already this season. Off to a good start. Hopefully it just keeps on trucking! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Paul Storm Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 MPX says they are holding off on issuing any advisories for now, but the north trend may be for real with the snow on Friday. 2-4” now in the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meichel Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 About the same, but it melted off quickly...it was primarily a mood snow day....getting my psyche prepared for the winter season...We were in that band and measured just under 2" when the pixie dust took over at the end. Was awesome to watch some pretty fat flakes for a couple hours! 2 Quote On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

westMJim Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 The official snow fall for yesterday at GRR was 3.2" and the total for the month so far is 8.9" The average snow fall in November for Grand Rapids is 6.3" but has ranged from 0" (in several years) up to 31.0" in 2014. It should be noted that a snowy November does not indicate that there will be a snowy winter. The current mean temperature at Grand Rapids is 37.3° and that is 5.8° below average. The last time it reached 60 or better was way back on October 14th Going back to 1892 there have only been 9 past Novembers that Grand Rapids has not reached 60 or better 2018 is now on the way to be number 10. Here is a list of the past 9 and a brief recap of that winter 1. 1907/08 aver temps snow 43.4" 2. 1919 Cold then average snow fall 56.9" 3. 1920/21 warmer that average only 35.6" snow fall reported. 4. 1921/22 warm Dec ave J/F snow fall 44.1" 5. 1925/26 average temps snow fall 89.5" 6. 1967/68 colder that average 55.1" 7. 1969/70 colder than average snow fall 84.6" 8. 1976/77 Cold than average winter snow fall 70.8" 9. 1997/98 warmer than average 59.8". We shall see if we do or do not make 60 or better the rest of November and if we don't how this winter will play out. It should be noted that 1968/69, 1976/77 and 1997/98 were El Nino winters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Currently 32F w light snow. Wcf in the mid 20s. Btw: Seems like temps moderate next week into the mid 40s (which is about normal for this time of the year). Lets see if models trend colder.

Esquimalt Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Was stranded in toronto airport yesterday evening for five hours...crazy event with over 5 inches on the ground by the time we were able to take off and de-ice. The flake structure became increasingly large and fluffy as the night progressed, and by 1 AM it was large, puffy flakes with a rate of 1 inch an hour. Wish I was out in the snow instead of sitting on a plane! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
