RogueWaves

Obscure for most if not all on here, my date is 4/3/75. Not aware if there was even a headline for the 18" of concrete ending with bliz conditions that we had overnight from the 2nd to the 3rd. Could not see a single set of vehicle tracks in the streets. Completely snowed-in with nothing moving except my buddy and his dad walking past to his grandparent's place where their snowmobiles had already been put away for the year. I watched them for about 2 house lengths, and they disappeared into the whiteout conditions. I've yet to experience anything that shutdown travel so dramatically although 3/5/12 was similar but I was not in the hardest hit zone. Honorable mention goes to 1/3/99. I missed that storm as I was out of town but returned to a home buried in 18" OTG and a 40" drift on my deck.

Screwed again in Canton wrt anything heavy enough to stick.

Let this be the 1 in 3 chance that it's a good omen. The other two weren't

We need that to be a seasonal trend

It's trying..

RN/SN likely now per grids. Virga-fest attm. No SWS from DTX so not sure what to expect here? Will forcing overcome all the usual obstacles that plague metro D-town??

3 yrs ago this evening cleared my driveway of 7" of fresh snow. 8.5" on 11-29-11 and 12.5" on 11-22-15 are the biggies during the past 2 decades.

DTX - Oh the dreaded and ever-present sensitivity to track concerns around here - sigh High pressure is on schedule to build across the Great Lakes byMonday to start the week with dry weather. The high holds intoTuesday as the next low pressure system gathers organization overthe Plains and Midwest. This large and intense system sweeps Gulfmoisture northward which could reach Lower Mi as early as Tuesdayafternoon in the form of a rain/snow mix. A heavier mix of rain andsnow changing to all snow becomes possible Tuesday night intoWednesday as extended range models show the surface low centertracking nearby across NW Ohio, a track that makes the forecast forSE MI very sensitive to the small adjustments likely in upcomingforecast cycles.

iirc, they had 4 storms in a row and when GHD-1 was first coming into discussions, it was progged to be #5. Couple days later the track was shifted back to the MW which actually stuck.

I'd like the version where we don't have to watch the EC rake Big Dog after Big Dog

Considering Lk Michigan was under 2 Storm Warnings inside of 3 wks, I'm liking his odds on strong events in the GLs

ready 2 b froze

location names on that report seem a little suspect, lol

Will check with JB - hah! Just said that he's been calling for an active end to the tropical season, and this late-game storm is following their thoughts about cold coming not long after. Comparing this to Kate that hit FL 11-20-85 after which the cold settled in. I've heard others liking 85-86 as an analog winter.

a real Cantore moment?

Not bad

11-10-98 was rippin shingles all night long. That had a real-deal cold side. This is more 11-17-13 with the lack thereof

If every extended warm spell in DJFM ended the way that one did, I'd be much more tolerant of Palm wx

Totally with ya on that. Been trying to decide what was DTW's best Dec of say the last 50 yrs. I know '74 had a huge total courtesy of the #3 all-time storm to kick off the month, but I'm pretty fond of '81 as the final 10 days right through the holidays had fresh and fairly deep snow cover. The primary storm track in '81-82 was ideal for west side of Detroit and it repeated over and over. '13-14 had the unfortunately timed pull-back right during Christmas week. It's one and only blemish to be fair.

Had 1 marigold near my garage undamaged on 12-19-98 in S. Bend. Latest summer perennial in the history of mby. Y'all got work to do.

Starting the month with all this fantastic wx reminds me a lot of 2010. I'll have to look back to see when exactly that extended warmth finally caved to more seasonable temps. Dec '09, '10, and '12 all featured strong bliz's, and treated mby best to worst in that same order.

a long time ago now: October 24th 2001 Tornado Outbreak (weather.gov) 17 years later, the memory of the 2001 Michiana tornadoes stay with us (wndu.com)

2nd season gave me my closest call with an EF-3 (a little too close for comfort tbh). Can't help but like seeing shades of an 07-08 & 10-11 combo. Anyone remember GHD-1? Just need an Octo-bomb-esque autumn bruiser to set the pre-cursor tone for the Sub.

Pretty sure it was 1st measurable. I'll take the under - Nov 25th

Thx, yeah that makes sense then.
