Hoosier Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 The Sunday system is producing a band of snow farther east in parts of IA/IL/WI on the 12z runs. Previous runs kept it farther west. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Looks like there's a real chance for some snow around here monday night. Every model is doing it. Looks like a typical october snow, where evap cooling is the rule of the day. Shouldn't amount to much, but this is a solid shot at first flakes. Apparently there were flurries around early this morning to our east, but I didnt see any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 On the cold & snowy side of the recent storm, Grand Forks ND dropped to 9F this morning over fresh snow cover. It obliterated the old daily record low of 19F from 1979...and is probably the coldest temp on record so early in the season. Normal low is 34. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluoronium Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I'm in central IL near Peoria and it is snowing here. I think it's the earliest I've ever seen flakes, and to top it off it hasn't even been 6 months since the last snow. We skipped spring this year, and it looks like we might just skip fall too. The leaves have barely started changing colors here so the trees will take a beating if all the green leaves just freeze off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 The CR airport hit 32 early in the night, but we came up short in the city. Clouds moved in by 2am and held us around 34. I did see flakes this morning, but just a few tiny specks that were barely noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluoronium Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I'm in awe. The snow hasn't stopped and has started accumulating on elevated surfaces. Temp down to 33F. It was 85F just 3 days ago! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 Think it's just been rain here but haven't been able to keep looking out the window. Better returns passed just south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some pretty decent size flakes as well. This is the first time I can remember us getting the first frost, first freeze, and first snow on the same date lol. Crazy to think just three days ago it was 84 with dews near 70, and 89 last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Cold today by mid-October standards. High was 33 with off/on snow showers. Snow cover probably just 2-3 weeks away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Was a cloudy cold day in Wausau today. We had a high of 33 degrees today and we are down to 30 degrees currently. Congrats on those who are seeing snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Here is a silver maple tree in Colorado. We had one like this in Ohio. Not too many maples are in the cities in Colorado. The hardwoods of the East are uncommon for the dry western climates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoboy645 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Got down to 25(!) here last night. Our growing season is definetly done now. *Sigh* this is one of my least favorite points of the year because this means that everything will be brown now till the snow flies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 We have not had a frost or freeze, yet. Monday morning is our next chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 Pattern looks pretty uneventful for the next 1 to 2 weeks after tomorrow's system. Forget severe or snow, there's not even much precip on the models. Lake belts could be an exception with some activity from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Martin Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Looking uneventful as well for the next seven days here. However, frost(s)/freeze(s) looking more likely for NW Ohio the next several days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget severe or snow, there's not even much precip on the models. Lake belts could be an exception with some activity from time to time. We had a nice run the past month or so with the severe weather, excessive rains, early snows, and tropic tracking. Definitely due for a down period. Hopefully it won't last more than a few weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Spending the weekend in Cadillac come up where color is at its peak. It is absolutely gorgeous. I suspect peak color in Southeast Michigan will be in 1 to 2 weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNstorms Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 First snow for the southern half of Minnesota. Last time it snowed this early was October 2009. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Winter weather is here so I’m done lurking and back to posting. First snow in the new house. Hoping to have a PWS up in the next few weeks. Sticking to trees, deck, grass but will melt by the afternoon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
