It’s pretty far off. Time to move past July.

Too much emphasis and living and dying with the possibility of a SSW event. Tip pretty much put it in perspective when he reminded us to keep your eye on 50,000 feet lower-H5 with his reference to the epo/wpo.

Felt like winter late last night and early this morning as I had to bring my wife’s car in for service before a long trip. One cold November I recall about 25 years ago had a light coating of ice on the Charles River a few days before Thanksgiving. I’m pretty confident of our best start in a long time. We may have some driving issues the first week of December along the heart of the LES country. But I’m bringing my boots, ice spikes which may be needed, and heaviest coats, gloves, etc. It’s coming!

All through the late 1950s and 60s.

1992-93 was snowy but had some huge torches. The February and March packs were epic however. 1993-94 came close except for a 3 day torch that melted everything but reloaded until winters end.

Well we’ll be in Chicago for thanksgiving planning to head home beginning 12/3. That area looks decent for some early action just past thanksgiving.

Just a few weenie flakes. Most of the action missed me.

EPS is certainly colder by the end of November. Pretty decent agreement on the 12z ensembles.

Personally, I don’t get antsy before mid December. Now at the tail end of my 79th year, sustained snow and cold has almost never happened before that.

True. It’s a getting close to winter month but not quite there yet.

So is April.

Since when does a winter month have climo highs 45-53 mid month throughout SNE?

You can see the much heavier echoes pushing to the west over the lake. https://imgur.com/a/qR2NywE

Nice to see snow in the air at the giants/bears game. My daughter works downtown and lives in Logan Square. I bet she’ll have a lot more at work near the lake vs home. Meso effects are so unpredictable. I was visiting in July and we went to dinner in the west Loop area one night and got 3” of rain in a fairly short time. 5 miles north nothing.

Some of us love a big snow followed by no obstructions to life until the next one. For that-Denver but Boulder is higher and considerably snowier. Buffalo is better in my view. Gritty town on the way back up with tons of snow.
