Might be a good burst of snow tonight in VT and northern NH. Hoping for a good week when I head up to SLK tomorrow.

The good ship and crew was a bone to be chewed when the gales of November came early.

Last gasp of this event. Very heavy rates downtown, roads covered again

Obs thread? .

NWS going strictly by what the models were forecasting ?

Just rode up to Cataloochee. 18 and light snow currently. The top of Fie Top Rd was icy, but the salt trucks were laying salt down. Looked like a couple of inches above 5K. Back down in the Valley it's 27 with occasional flurries.

I think that was ORD. Downtown maybe 3-4”?

30 F and snowing on the front of Signal Mountain .

Very fickle setup. Chicago was forecast to get 12”+ yesterday, the city mostly has a few inches. They’re getting hit now but the band is pivoting south and won’t last over them long. Meanwhile I don’t think Kenosha was under any kind of warning yesterday and they have the 12+ Chicago was expecting.

They might have split up or they might have capsizedThey may have broke deep and took water

Low of 41 here with .74" of rainfall. Looks like my first hard freeze hits tonight. @Itstrainingtime I'll respond with some thoughts on Grunk later. I second this, nothing beats the official cylinder gauge. I have both manual and the automated gauges and my Accurite station consistently under-measures rainfall by ~5-15%.

With a SSW/weak PV being forecast this month, I checked when the last time we had a SSW in November. 1968. So I looked up the 1968-69 analog, and most of the teleconnections match. -QBO, -PDO, +AMO, etc... except it was a weak nino, not a nina. It was a very cold winter, averaging roughly -5 through DJFM, snowfall was backloaded apart from an early November snow. With this winter being a weak nina, snow might be more front-loaded and may be colder than what seasonal models are depicting, assuming the SSW verifies.

Unusual for them to get Lake Affect but wind is just right.

Seeing obs of snow and 14 degrees in the SE forum always throws me for a loop. Always forget there are taller mountains down there.

Music to my ears. We are overdue for a cold, snowy December/holiday season.

Looks like Chicago got 1.7 inches
