Nov 28-30th Post Turkey Day Winter Storm
michsnowfreak replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
So jealous of such a large area of 8+. We just missed it. Then again, just east of us got nothing. I will take that as a good sign though for the stormy forecasts this winter. Its still November yet thats a bigger storm than any this region saw last winter. -

michsnowfreak replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
The storm was disappointing here due to marine air and bad ratios on the far east side. Although with a low track well west in late November its not a surprise. Northwest suburbs towards Ann Arbor had 4-6". Some areas of west and mid Michigan had 6-8". I had 3.1" but compacted to about 2" of wet cement. I finish November at 5.7". DTW had 3.6", finishing November at 5.9". It was certainly a spread the wealth for the western sub tho. Pic shows last night vs this morning. -

DTW has been SN+ for 2 hours now. Visibility low and roads slippery. Beautiful out! -

Right . Even though they beat Chicago almost every year. This time, Chicago gets the headstart. All things aside, very winter like storm for november. We are getting snow from a low tracking to our west. -

Pixie dust light snow for a while has dusted the ground. Temp 28. Thinking 4-5" is a good call for here. Should be a bit of compaction in the early morning as temps rise above freezing, but still a solid winter wonderland expected. -

Lmao. So Detroit has an advisory for 5-7", Ann Arbor has a warning for 5-8", and Toledo has a warning for up to 6". Im sure the general public knows the difference -

MLI will exceed its 2024-25 total in 2025-26 before December. Thinking 4-6" here. Hoping the dryslot/potential end as rain in sunday morning isn't too bad. -

michsnowfreak replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Ratios are what im interested in. A bulk of the snow will fall with temps of about 28-32, so even if it does end as rain as temps briefly climb above freezing Sunday morning here, I have to imagine a good blanket is laid down. -

Chicago saw under 20 last winter. I dont mind that they'll get more than us this storm. Regardless looks like a widespread advisory to warning criteria snowstorm. Thats on top of the early November 9-10 snowfall and cold as far as the eye can see...excellent start to winter! -

3-6" seems like a good call for Detroit. -

Very light dusting of snow this morning. But with Saturdays snow, this will be the 3rd Thanksgiving weekend in a row to have a blanket of snow. -

Blizzard ongoing in the western U.P. of MI. Between a synoptic dump and lake effect The western UP will easily see 2-3+ feet of snow. Jealous is an understatement. Snow squalls will hit the entire state of MI, with accumulations ranging from a dusting to 18" depending on location. Winds gusting 45-55mph. Lake snow warnings also up in upstate NY. The gales of November are roaring and winter has arrived. Coming to New England shortly. -
It's probably gonna be amazing scenery in the western UP. Heavy wet snow clinging to everything then it freezes up then fluffy drifty lake snow. 2-3 feet possible near Ironwood. Always not fair when a lake belt gets slammed with synoptic snow first. So jealous!

The orientation of temp departures this November is absolutely nothing like the top 3 warmest novembers. DTW finished in the top 20 warmest in the top 3 warmest conus Novembers, and will finish this November colder than avg. -

Thank you Don. I knew todays run was colder, which is why I said that to spartman. You don't ever look at the cfs weeklies (or any weeklies) and speak in absolutes. They change all the time.
