Some heavy showers this morning. 0.43" for the day, 9.32" for the month.

Friday to the end of the 10 day forecast is prime snow making weather for the great lakes. Resorts should be open quickly after Thanksgiving this year.

This would end up being a BIG surprise Winter for pretty much everyone on here. I'm stoked for my family back in Chicago. My gut tells me its going to be one heck of a Winter compared to the previous 5 years. I'm having '13-'14 vibes! Just look at how much the DEC forecast has flipped off the CFSv2... Hello Blocking...

Those of you near Snow belts of the GL"s, my goodness, this is exactly what you dream of during an early season Arctic Outbreak and the warmer waters. We haven't had much of a sustained cold outbreak to cool them off so this is ideally what I'd like to see. The Polar Vortex appears to be making a visit! Models typically Underestimate snowfall at this range, esp Lake Effect snows and what is coming down the road. I think @jaster220will be near ground zero if the winds line up right...this should be a hellova ride for you guys. Let's see where the PV tracks bc if you guys in S MI can get a more Westerly flow off of LM, it should deliver the White Gold in copious amounts. @Niko may also be in the game to see those streamers come off LM.

Couple of DAWGS on the 6z GEFS. D**n, I'm desperate.
