  1. I don't know what would be worse for him, CAD and or a warmer by the lake 33 and rain.
  2. My 2.2" yesterday was on .22" of precip, so exactly 10:1
  3. I caught the very first tornado that day, an F-1 in Hartford City, IN. The same supercell that later dropped the Van Wert F-4. I was too up close and personal with it as it passed a couple hundred yards in front of me before smacking the Marsh grocery store. That kept me from chasing it, because I had to stop to check on injuries at the store. Otherwise, I probably would have chased it into Ohio. It also put down 2 more short-lived tornadoes (Wells and Adams Co.) before dropping big one.
  4. Still snowing, but not accumulating. Finished with 2.2"
  5. A nice way to begin winter, waking up and looking at the HHHR. Made me check current obs and saw that stuff to the southwest heading this way. Sitting under that f-gen band and accumulating here now. Surprise!!
  6. The tropical system remnants have really trended west. I even get a graze job.
  7. You beat me. We had a T of snow and 1.63".
  8. As dry as it is, forecasters would be wise to lean toward the higher end of guidance for highs.
  9. We even get in on some that action down here. Time to start a new sig
  10. Of course '89 is the gold standard for October snow in IN. An Indy TV station just highlighted it a couple of days ago. Interestingly, they have as their 2nd largest Oct. snow as 1993. I do not remember that event, and the others are from the dark ages.
  11. Which reminds me, where is Bo? I'm sure that he has seen flakes already.
  12. Picked up 0.09" last night/early this morning. First measurable rain in 18 days and a total of only 0.51" in the past 30 days. At least it's good for the farmers.
  13. ...and so it begins Monday Night A slight chance of rain and snow showers. Partly cloudy, with a low around 30. Chance of precipitation is 20%.
  14. Even though haven't quite hit peak here in the Fort Wayne area, I also noticed that the colors are brighter this year than the past couple of years.
  15. The first mention of the S word of the season in an Indiana forecast discussion. AND WITH FRIDAY, 500 MB HEIGHTS APPROACHING 540 DM, STILL UNSETTLED WEATHER WITH THE TROUGH SITTING OVER THE REGION, A FEW SNOW SHOWERS ARE NOT COMPLETELY OUT OF THE QUESTION. AT THIS TIME, I HAVE OPTED TO LEAVE MENTION OUT OF THE GRIDS, BUT AS WE GET CLOSER I WILL NOT BE SURPRISED IF THIS WILL BECOME NECESSARY. FRIDAY TEMPERATURES WILL STRUGGLE TO JUST GET INTO THE LOWER 50S. THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN.
  16. "I'm michsnowfreak, and I approve this map."
  17. I remember that event. I was fishing in a bass tournament in Marshall County IN (Lake Maxinckukee) and watched the lake effect clouds off on the horizon rolling across the sky. A blustery day on the water for sure.
  18. A snowstorm in winter or something out of season? If it's the latter, early or late? In winter Wet snow, dry/fluffy snow, or something in between? Something in between Light/calm winds, or windy conditions while it's snowing? Calm winds Continuous snow, or do lulls not matter as long as amounts end up as expected? Either 12" in 12 hours, or 18" occurring over 36 hours? 18" over 36 Hrs. Bitter temperatures, or just cold enough to stick well during the storm? Cold, but not bitter Storms on holidays/your birthday/some other meaningful day, or are dates irrelevant? Irrelevant If living in a lake effect area, would you rather have a synoptic or lake effect storm of the same amount? n/a, although we usually get a couple Lake MI les events down this way most winters which are always fun even if they are only light amounts
  19. With a hurricane watch being issued for Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland by the Canadian Hurricane Centre, I had to look this Agency up. Here's what I found...
  20. From 90° late Wednesday afternoon to 39° at 6 AM this morning. Autumn says, "Hi"
