Pretty good hit for N WI folks.

Winds into the upper 30's this morning. Snow been blowing around pretty good. N WI over into the UP getting hit hard. They already had around a foot early this morning. Radar not picking up W UP, but it would look the same.

Reports coming with 6-13" away from the Lake to 3-5" along the shoreline. Decent storm. LES should be intense over in the UP later today into tomorrow.

Reported 4.0" this morning here in town. Blew around, and drifted some, so took multiple measurements. 7" reports last night along the higher terrain. Should be a little higher when the reports flow in. So the my 4" thinking did come to pass for town. Looks like LES just to my NE with a nice band over N WI. Probably just some snow showers left for me today.

LES bands starting form. Getting some snow right now. Little earlier than expected, so possible 6"+ in town is possible.

Decent call here. Just a trough swinging in the S areas, tho. Happy Thanksgiving EV1!!

Rain to wet snow, then it'll freeze up to a ice block. Typical early season snow. UP MI looking at 3ft in some spots with syn/LES combo. Here in town, I think 6" would be a big surprise. 4" max is my thinking. Warm lake. But higher terrain should do well. NWS DLH is good at overestimating. Most storms barely hit min guidance around TH.

NWS Duluth getting frisky with this one. Here on the shoreline, expecting lower guidance 3-5". But the higher terrain could do well here. The bulk of the precip hitting at night when temps are a little cooler, coupled with colder air mixing in will help with this one. Ground will cool off fast, as well.

Looks like 3-6" potential starting tomorrow night. Followed by a decent chill for late Nov.

Only 0.21" so far this month here. 2.18" is the avg for Nov. A very dry Oct-Nov up here. Oct was 10th driest with 0.63".

Ever since the 1998 super El Nino, temp profiles changed up here. After the Pinatubo eruption effect wore off in the mid 90's, it was like a switch was flipped. Urban sites aside, even rural sites show this pattern change.

Now that gov is open again, have data for Sept & Oct. Both on the warmer side. 5 & 10 yr trend charts for each month shown respectively.

Clouds here last night. Hope this eve will be good.

3 x-flares with 3 CME's coming together for what could be another event similar to May of last yr.

Busted. N flow dominates. Some sn shwrs around the Lakes.

I've been having snow shwrs in my area since yesterday. Dusting in town this morning.

And so it begins (on the MN Deer Hunting opener) on Sat. YAH U Betcha! Saturday A chance of snow, mainly after noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 37. Calm wind becoming southwest around 5 mph in the morning. Saturday Night A slight chance of snow before midnight. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 22. Northwest wind 5 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Sunday A chance of flurries. Partly sunny, with a high near 36. Northwest wind around 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Sunday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 20. Northwest wind 5 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Monday Mostly sunny, with a high near 36. Northwest wind 5 to 10 mph.

Wind adv out for today for strong SW winds. Leaves are blowing around pretty good. Last few days, lots of tweety flocks, and even a few geese flocks moving through.

Roller coaster pattern with precip mainly confined to N areas of the sub, and some LER/S for early Nov is what it looks like. Hoping mid month will see some decent organized stuff. I have something possible for Veteran's day on the 11th, and the pattern mid month may produce something worth talking about.

0.63" for Oct is pretty paltry. 10th driest on record. Warm month; max 58.7 (+0.5=59.2) avg 53.9/ min 41.9(+2=43.9) avg 37.9 for 7am readings. 10th warmest Oct.

Not too bad. LP in the E with another weak LP moving in from the NW with some shwrs, and LER (some mix possible).

Unless of course I start one for my area just to throw that off.

Prayers for the Jamaican people. Absolutely perfect storm, but when I watch the sat image, I also know death, and devastation are underway. My heart breaks for the people.

This thing could absolutely destroy Jamaica. Pray for it to go around either side, and weaken at the same time. Incredible storm!

Sept had some notable action as far as temps, and precip, but what a slow, mellow Oct. Well, here's to a active Nov
