CentralNebWeather Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Euro showing the storm next week. Hard to know exactly looking at weather.us, but looks to lay down a nice snow from Nebraska and points northeast through NW Iowa, Eastern South Dakota, into Minnesota. If someone has a better snow map and could post it I'd appreciate it. Thanks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 LMAO at "up north". What is that, a 15 min drive from Macomb?? "Up north" starts at Michigan state hwy 55. That's about 100 miles north of yby. I had an uncle, my dad's older brother, who was born and raised in Detroit. Furthest north he ever ventured during his entire lifetime was Flint. And that was for his honeymoon! You mentioned "ghost towns" north of Detroit. Cracked me up since I go outta my way to take the most off the beaten track back-roads whenever I can. Makes me remember a Purer Michigan before all the national chain stores & eateries made every town look the same. It feels closer to the Michigan I grew up with. Anyways, trains are cool. Sounds like a great cider orchard. Used to do that when the kids were young. Fresh cider, donuts, and a hay-wagon ride. An autumn tradition in SMI that I do miss.. To me "Up north" has M 55 as a good starting point. Even a more south conservative starting point would be M 20. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormy Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 I got just 0.32” of rain today while my sister around 7 miles southeast reported 0.80”. Was nice to see and hear some decent lightning/thunder again, but it seems I rarely get a solid hit since June. I netted just 0.11” from the previous rain a few days ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormhunter87 Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Love seeing this trend! Went camping over the weekend and the days were amazing but man it got cold during the night. Also interesting they released a bunch of pheasants for the youth hunt weekend where we were and saw tons of them in the park. A bunch of them did not want to cross the road into the public hunting areas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While cook outs are common and pool side might work but in the pool might be pushing it a little. The last time we were down there at Christmas in 2015 it was in the low 70's on Christmas day. The warmest was in the upper 70's (on Christmas day) it had been in the 80's but not on Christmas when I was there it was in the 80's on other days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 7 in almost as many days.It sounded like a sonic boom, and then the house started shaking,” Keith Krayer, a local resident who felt the effects of the quake, told RT. The quake was sparked by fracking. “When they frack, they inject all that water and chemicals into the ground, then they pump it back up and separate the gas from the water, then they have to dispose of that water 13,000 feet down. It causes the plates to slip, the lubrication from the water.” This is cause due to a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust. While rare in Texas, earthquakes have been recorded recently, but not frequently. 3 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!

I remember going to a few houses but the weather was too bad. Not a whole lot of kids out that night, at least in our neighborhood! Great article - thx! Yeah, the 3 largest storms here also hit when I was young so I know what you mean! I’ll do some looking Thx. Was it the same storm that hit MN or different? Same Halloween right? 2 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...

gabel23 Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Awesome and thx (only link is not taking me anywhere?) Awesome storm and a major surprise (back when that still happened at times) Great article - thx! Yeah, the 3 largest storms here also hit when I was young so I know what you mean! Thx.

Grizzcoat Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Was my senior year of HS in 1991 living in the N Metro of the Twin Cities. Long story short - and I have mentioned this before here - my buddies and I drove our snowmobiles down I-35 past the Dome than back around I-94 to I-694. Only traffic was snowmobiles-- it was awesome!! After it stopped snowing the roads ( including freeways) were like washboards for days due to the initial slop freezing and turning into ruts. 7 Quote The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

Grizzcoat Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 In one of the articles about the Halloween Blizzard of 91' ; "Duluth wound up with 36.9 inches of snow from this storm and was the largest single snowstorm total for Minnesota until 46.5 inches fell from January 6-8, 1994 near Finland in Cook County." That's more than many on this board see in a season. 4 Quote The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

Tom Posted October 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 It's been a windy night with temps holding steady around 50F since about midnight. I love seeing Wind Warnings/Advisories hoisted for our region. It certainly makes it feel like real Autumn is here to stay as another October goes on by where our Sub is enduring most of the action this Fall season thus far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted October 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 I'm finding some similarities to a pattern which I've seen before that produced some memorable Winter Storms/Blizzards in year's past. Since the beginning of this year's LRC, it's been clear that we have been seeing systems sliding S/SE into the N Rockies. As the -EPO grows stronger, these systems in future cycles will eventually dig deeper into the S Plains as the energy ejects out in the Plains states. With that being said, the potential Halloween system has an eerily similar look across N. A. Check out what the models are showing and compare it to the pattern back on Jan 30th - Feb 2nd 2011. VS........Notice the key features: 1) NE PAC Ridge, SW Trough, Hudson Bay Vortex.... Jan 31st 2011... Feb 1st 2011... As we progress through this month and into November, it looks to me like the -EPO will be a big player that'll allow those cold Canadian HP's to form out of western Canada where our source region of Arctic air will come from and drive deep into the southern Plains. These patterns are very favorable for enhanced activity across our central/southern Sub Forum. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember right we had 40 inches of snow that month including a 26 in blizzard. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
