michsnowfreak Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Yep. Saw that. Better flakes now too. Hope your first winter in Michigan is a good one! You will find that you will see snow way way more frequently than the east coast but unfortunately no noreasters. Our big storms are more 6-12" than 12-24" but hopefully this winter we will get a doozy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Road Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 I'm here in valparaiso, Indiana tonight. Light snow continuing to fall here, but lake effect snow early tomorrow morning is what has me excited. Check out the lake superior connection the hrrr is showing. That will supercede any worry about dry air aloft and there should be a heck of a single band here on southern lake Michigan. Screenshot_2013-11-11-17-09-44.png Here in valpo we may be on the western end of the activity, but any meso low development (which are commonly seen in these single band events) will knock the band westward and give us a burst of snow. Don't think anyone will get a ton of snow due to the likely transient nature of the band. But a widespread swath of 5-8 inches from valpo to south bend looks increasingly likely. At a hotel? Cancel for tonight and stay in LaPorte, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Snowing and sticking to the grass here, probably about a 1/4" of snow thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extremewx52 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 At a hotel? Cancel for tonight and stay in LaPorte, haha. Ha. Its just coincidence I was here for the night visiting friends. I'm a valpo grad as well. If I were lake effect snow chasing I would definitely be in laporte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Finished with 1.0" of snow here. Most snow through Nov. 11th since I started keeping records in early '07. Yeah this is the most snow I've recorded up to this date since I've kept records starting in 1998! The roads are not slick in general, but in places where leaves fell on the road, it is slick. Saw one driver that gunned it over one of those spots and almost ended up on the median. Saw more than a few salt trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Road Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 21z HRRR shows the band affecting mostly LaPorte and Berrien until about 10z, and then shifting into Porter as the run ends, which is interesting because most guidance so far has shown winds becoming more westerly by 12z, not less.

DAFF Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Where can on find hour to hour surface temperatures. Just wondering if there is a real possibility for everything to ice up.

stormtrackertf Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 At school here in Livonia we've got a nice coating of snow on everything, first I've seen here in Metro Detroit this season. Not sure how it's stuck back at my home in the city, but a nice early start to winter here already.No more flakes falling now, but for a while there it was snowing at a real nice clip.

Thunder Road Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 The HRRR now has 3-5" for Valpo falling between 11z and 13z, with snow (theoretically) continuing past 13z. Not at all what I would expect given winds should becoming more westerly with time, but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestCoaster Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 We had some light mixed precip/fine flakes in downtown Toronto for about 20 minutes just before sunset. Nothing since.

BuffaloWeather Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 About an inch on the ground here so far. Came out of the gym to it, and to be honest I was shocked. Did not expect this at all... Pleasantly surprised. * HAZARDS...SNOW. * ACCUMULATIONS...3 TO 5 INCHES...MAINLY ACROSS HIGHER TERRAIN. * TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE LOWER TO MID 20S. * IMPACTS...SNOW WILL RESULT IN SLICK ROADS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS HIGHER TERRAIN SUCH AS THE CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE AND BOSTON HILLS. LOWERING TEMPERATURES LATER TONIGHT MAY FREEZE SLUSH ON ANY UNTREATED ROADWAYS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
