Niko Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 I swear it looks like mid December out there w all that snowcover. Cant seem to get used to the fact that it is only mid November. Today I saw people shoveling snow from their driveways and thought to myself, wait a minute....is this November??? It is not even Thanksgiving week yet or better yet, has not even past Thanksgiving holiday. All ponds have frozen up.

Niko Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 So, you take winter when you get it cuz that's all you can do, right? While it stopped by for an early visit I thought I'd get a few pictures with the beautiful day around here. Ofc I want more storms, but today's wx is difficult to turn down on a Saturday when I wasn't stuck in an office working. This is just outside a small city in Van Buren Cnty west of Kzoo.

jaster220 Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 While my upper deck/back porch gets baked by the afternoon sun, the lower deck this time of year benefits from shading by my garage. Still have a very dense 4" there. It was not only warm but also very calm here this afternoon so I put a sizable dent in putting out my holiday lights. Now I feel better that even if I don't get all of it out this year, I will have enough to make it merry and bright. 3 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...

jaster220 Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Peeking at the GEM at h240 for the T-day storm, you can see it looks like it's trying to put something together with a large area of precip down south. I really like where it has the HP positioned too. Hopefully yet another global sniffing out the potential. 3 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...

jaster220 Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 NOAA:Next well organized system arrives on Thursday as a warm front liftsinto the Great Lakes nudging 850 mb temps close to 10 C. Widespreadand longer duration rainfall is expected with the warm front and thesubsequent cold FROPA as low pressure deepens and races throughnorthern Lower Michigan Thursday evening driven aloft by a sharptrough folding into the southern branch of a split jet. Changeoverto snow is possible late Thursday night as stronger CAA fromnorthwest promotes freezing temperatures return. Mainly dryconditions through next weekend with cool temps. My office on the Thur/Fri deal. Next area of low pressure will lift through the Great Lakes Thursdayahead of an upper trough swinging through Central Canada. Track ofthe center of the low through northern Lower Michigan will boosttemperatures over Southern Michigan, with areas near/south of I-96 makinga run at 50 degrees (above normal!). Can you tell what they're all about??

clintbeed1993 Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Man, I really hope the EURO is onto something with the pattern going forward. GFS doesn't have much cold air at all. It's been very dry and boring here this last month, would be nice to get something by Thanksgiving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted November 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Happy Monday! What a difference this week will be compared to last week around here. The pick day of the week is Wednesday when highs will approach the low 50's and sunshine. I just hope all the leaves in my gutters and the rest of my yard dry up a bit to do my final clean up on Wednesday. Sorta want to get this out of the way before Thanksgiving week so I can focus on putting up my Christmas Lights and decor. Meantime, the trends over the past several days in the modeling has been for a deeper trough in the central CONUS around Thanksgiving Day. If accurate, this may suggest to me that indeed we will be in the midst of LRC cycle #2. To me, the hard cutter that tracks up into the Upper MW on Wed/Thu lines up with the Oct 5th/6th system and then 5 days later the bigger storm comes out of the Rockies and develops in the Plains/Upper MW during Oct 10th-13th and stalls out. We are seeing this almost play out to a "T" this week into Thanksgiving week. I know Gary seems to believe this is a longer cycle but I'm seeing evidence that it is not. Let's see what shakes out over the coming week. If that Thanksgiving storm takes on a feature where it strengthens across the Plains/MW and then occludes somewhere around the GL's, then I'd be more convinced we are in LRC cycle #2. The placement of the Blocking pattern setting up that week looks very similar to how it evolved in October. The fact that the models are busting bad on the SER gives me even more evidence that the cycle is repeating bc none of the models saw this coming and I was getting a bit worried until a couple of days ago the trends started showing up. Now, nearly all the models show a SER (-PNA). For instance, notice the EPS last 3 runs when all the models had an EC trough that has all but disappeared which leads us into a favorable pattern for a Cutter during the Thanksgiving holiday. The Day 10 map has a solid EC ridge along with that nice Greenland Block. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that if the Thanksgiving storm does indeed line up with the storm from Oct 10-13th that the models are missing on temps? I think if may end of much colder than what the models are showing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
