  1. 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!
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. EPS is certainly colder by the end of November. Pretty decent agreement on the 12z ensembles.
  5. 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.
  6. True. It’s a getting close to winter month but not quite there yet.
  7. Since when does a winter month have climo highs 45-53 mid month throughout SNE?
  8. You can see the much heavier echoes pushing to the west over the lake. https://imgur.com/a/qR2NywE
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Chicago routinely goes below 0 every winter. About 2-3 years ago they were close to -20F. And that's the southern lakes area.
  12. Happy Friday friends. I love how we’re evolving this autumn. I think we start fast-widespread snow before mid December. I got down to 31 last night. Had to wear a light winter jacket on last nights walk.
  13. Yeah the wind advisory was a bit of a bust here though it gusted overnight for a short time as the front blew through. We continue to step.
  14. Everyone is say how warm it is but it feels close to normal for today’s high of 56. Currently 49.
  15. My landscaping guys unexpectedly came and blew everything clean. Will probably need another round before the final fall cleaning. Then the gutters after everything is down.
  16. Not last night-it was fine all the way. However walking after the game last night had roaring winds in the hood.
  17. Coming into Logan on approach to 22. Winds are ripping but it’s reasonably quiet turbulence wise at 4000 feet.
  18. Steve D needs to brush up on his knowledge of climatology
  19. lol….looking at this cluster does NOT give me an “it’s coming!” feeling.
