Andie Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 We’re going to 76* today. Low of 67*. The Fall roller coaster is on! So are my sore throat and achy bones reactions. Every day is an adventure down here in the Fall. Much worse than a Texas Spring. Windy, Warm, Chilly, Damp, Dry, Cold, Stormy. It’s a patchwork of “just wait till tomorrow’s down here.” No matter what comes - Have a great Thanksgiving guys!!! 1 3 Quote Before You Diagnose Yourself With Depression or Low Self-Esteem,...First Make Sure You Are Not In Fact, Just Surrounded By A$$holes. “If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell.” Gen.

Tom Posted November 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Tis the season....Chicago held its annual Lights Festival on Michigan Ave yesterday and it certainly delivered! Great shot from Barry Butler... Meantime, out here its sorta starting to feel like the holidays as I'm seeing more locals putting up Christmas decor. I ventured out to some stores yesterday and picked up some good deals, but I didn't really get that "holiday feel"...I still feel like I'm on vacation out here. The weather has been phenomenal and I'm embracing every min of it. While much of the nation from the "heartland" and points west will be basking in AN temps post Thanksgiving, most of the eastern Sub will be rather cold for the official start to the holiday season. It looks rather blustery and cold for the Lakes region on Black Friday. Bundle up for those who are going to venture out and do some shopping!

Tom Posted November 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 As we close out November and look towards the opening of Dec, I'm seeing some interesting developments up in the Strat. A complete reversal across North America from a cold upper atmosphere and a move towards a big warming event. We saw a similar situation back in early October...are we seeing a cycle?? Could be...but I find that the Strat doesn't really have a cyclical nature to it as it behaves in it's own peculiar way. It does fit the pattern like what happened back in Oct. With that being said, if this Strat warming event evolves, then I'm rather confident we'll see a tremendous amount of blocking setting up to open Dec across N & E Canada. If the LRC is correct, we will cycle through the part of the pattern where we saw the Hudson Bay Block. Remember the HP's that would likely "seed the cold"??? I'm expecting to see a similar pressure pattern setting up but instead of it being a "warm" HP back in the Fall....this time of year, however, when there is snow OTG, it will "seed the cold". Let's see if what I said back then does in fact transpire. This will be a big personal test of mine and I'm really curious to see where it goes from here. I hope it does pan out for the sake of all of us who are looking for winter wx to lock in. Current status.... By Day 10... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO this coming week is not the start of cycle 2, while the blocking is very similar it's the Hudson Bay block that you mention above that's missing. Looking at last nights EC I think I found what I was looking for and a match to the Oct 10/11th part of the pattern that I have been looking forward too. This time I'll wait for some verification but this would indicate the cycle length could be more in the 54 to 55 day range. This would also have the nice shot of very cold air behind it that I expected. Lets see how it goes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaster220 Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 @Tom@Clinton Great banter fellas! Keep chasing the LR puzzle on behalf of all of us here. Meanwhile, all we can do is wait-n-see. This morning I was reviewing my past winter's daily snowfall log that I've kept since 13-14 season (only kept totals prior to that) and noticed that every year from 2013-2019 we had either a good Nov or good Dec. Only last winter saw duds in both months. Hoping this winter doesn't follow suit and go the way of 88-89 and 11-12. But I can't even count 11-12 as that included my biggest storm on 11/29/11 that featured one of only a handful of times I've witnessed 2+"/hour synoptic rates (over 4 hrs worth). Last winter for Marshall consisted of a 2-wk period from Jan 31 to Feb 15, then winter vanished. Take that period out of my table and I stretched the other 15" of snow over all the other weeks of the season (and I count every scrap 0.1" that others wouldn't even consider a snowfall). 2018-19 was the last "good winter" for me so I really need a decent season to keep enthusiasm alive. 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...

I think we all need a decent season this year and I think it will be. I'm guilty of rushing things a little bit because the Oct part of the pattern will be very exciting. I try not to do that but the weather enthusiast in me wins to often. We just need to wait a couple more weeks which brutally hard this time of year. The MJO seems to really be driving temps this year and phases 4,5,and 6 are terrible, but as @Hawkeyementioned yesterday it's forecasted to move into phase 7 as we go into December. Hopefully that combined with the big storms of October will change our fortunes. Hang in there and lets hope for a snowy December and maybe just maybe a white Christmas. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted November 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 Boy, I got the chills looking at the temps right now out across IA/MN this morning as temps are bottoming off into the low/mid 10's! Yikes, that must have a bite to it.... @Grizzcoat @james1976must be enjoying these temps... Well, it doesn't look like we will have much of a Thanksgiving storm system to track this week as I thought. It appears that both pieces of energy will phase over Ontario just like the one that just tracked thru the MW/GL's region yesterday & today. On the other hand, the +PNA pattern and -NAO will develop a stout NW Flow and the models/ensembles are suggesting a couple clippers to dive S/SE over the MW/GL's to close out the month of Nov. Some of you may get some bouts of snowfall until the "pullback" comes knocking on the door for those who have been BN temp wise. IF, the 0z EPS is correct, then my long standing call weeks ago for an early DEC pullback seems to be on target. What happens next is still in question but I suspect that we will see the models grow stronger on the idea of a colder pattern setting up post 6th/7th of DEC. I anticipate the EPO to head towards neutral territory or even (-) which would create a favorable pattern to unleash the "Arctic Hounds" down western Canada into the western/central Sub during the 1st full week of DEC. Depending on the LRC cycle length, I'm predicting multiple storms to traverse the Sub Week 1 of DEC and there will be plenty of blocking across Canada. The BSR is a great LR tool and it had a dominant HP pattern that developed across the Aleutians about a week ago and it is poised to continue for quite some time. This is a Big clue as we head deeper into DEC. Enjoy the Blow Torch for those of you in the western Sub, b/c what I think will happen Week 1 of DEC will be a dramatic flip for ya'll! #RealWinter is coming to a place near you.....

Hawkeye Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 Yeah, the GFS and Euro are both showing a blowtorch to open December. The GFS, however, continues to hint at a major reversal to active and very cold toward the end of the first week of the month. 3 Quote season snowfall: 34.8" '22-23: 30.2" '21-22: 27.1" '20-21: 52.5" '19-20: 36.2" '18-19: 50.2" '17-18: 39.5" Average snowfall: ~30" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKEKC Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 The Chiefs are back!! Great defense yesterday. I think that was the #1 offense they faced. Spring like weather here in KC looks to continue. This weekend into next week could have several days 60 or higher. Likely be 60 or higher the next few days also. I have only recorded 3 overnight lows below 32 this fall, the lowest has been 27 degrees. I would assume that is well below the average for below freezing nights to date. After that....BAM! GFS drops a foot of snow on KC around Dec. 6th-8th. So, the storm that we thought would happen this week and another on the 29th/30th appears a no go. Right? What does that do to the LRC cycle? IF the October part of the pattern does not return until Dec. 5th or so, are we looking at 60+ day cycle? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westMJim Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 Here at my house there was a period of pea sized hail with the cold front last evening. Not much in the way of rain fall thought as just 0.02" of rain with the front. The overnight low here was 29 and that is the current temperature with broken clouds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect some big numbers coming from that region by Tues. Here are the web cams from the Munising and Grand Marais area https://www.exploremunising.com/web-cams/ and while less snow fall here are the cams from the Houghton area https://www.mtu.edu/webcams/walker/ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 Temps will remain BN except for "Turkey Day." Highs mainly in the 30s and lows in the 20s. Tanite readings will really drop. Lows are expected to be in the upper teens to around 20F. Coldest nite of the season on tap. NOAA Ensuing increase in cold air advection likely met with rapidly declining moisture quality as the mid level dry slot arrives by Thursday evening, suggesting a very limited window for a possible transition to snow within the immediate post-frontal, synoptically forced environment. Conditions Friday then look similar to that noted today, characterized by below average temperatures within a generally dry northwest flow. 2 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!

gimmesnow Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 It's amazing how yesterday was so nice, and Wisconsin snow guns at ski resorts have been blasting all night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been snookered by those end-of-the-fun cold fronts and snowstorms so many times in the past. And yet here I am still getting my hopes up .... don’t worry it’s gone now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the NEW 12z GFS has upper's 60's and thunderstorms for the same date that showed a foot of snow around Dec. 5-8th on 06z GFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKEKC Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 The latest 12z GFS has 60-70 degrees almost every day for a week to 10 days here in KC after the brief cool down on Turkey Day. Fine by me, its still Fall. I'll take that until about Dec. 15th, after that, I'll gladly welcome winter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
