cyclone77 Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 First flakes on the way for Sun night for this area. If tomorrow's wave were more potent (or it was a few weeks later) we'd have a nice little snow system. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s hope it’s a long term winter trend versus blowing our load in early November 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeenerWx Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 P&C is up to ~2” here for whatever that’s worth. Expectations low for anything that meaningful given source. But pretty good shot at first snowfall/measurable snowfall, which is exciting itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnwx85 Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 Winter Storm Watches are up along the southern shore of Lake Michigan from Cook County, IL to Berrien County, MI. 6-12” possible. Probably more in Porter and LaPorte Counties. Thundersnow possible. Rates of 2-4” per hour. The IWX forecast discussion is one of the best reads in a long time. Winds over 35+ mph, 6+” of snow and leaves on the trees are going to be a perfect recipe for major tree damage. The TV Mets going super conservative due to ground temps are going to have to backtrack big time. The rates and timing will overcome a warm ground in no time. This are going be a memorable event for localized areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This are going be a memorable event for localized areas. Did you read IWX this morning? Given the incredible thermodynamics, Lake Superior connection, and synoptic support any mesolow or dominant band will be capable of producing snowfall rates of up to 3"/hour with thundersnow quite possible. There is still some uncertainty where exactly the band sets up and how long it stays in one area (models show some variation to the flow through Monday), but snow will be measured in feet, not inches, for any location that sees this dominant band visit for more than a few hours. Have a conservative 6-12" for La Porte County right now but that could certainly go higher. Winds will also be a concern with this event. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago916 Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 Definitely seems like today's 12z hi rez models are highlighting the swing of the LE into the IL side for a little. Liking trends, but won't expect it until we see the band on radar. Would be hilarious if the meso low pushes the snow too far west and leaves a gap.

Yeah, even on this side of the lake you don’t really start getting your hopes up until the band is overhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the locals I've talked to say they experience more ice than snow here. I'm closer to Fort Worth. I think 2" here shuts down the entire city lol. Maybe we'll great a freak storm like Houston did last winter. Worked in Ft. Worth back in May of 2010 and there were photos in the Starbucks of full-sized snowmen they had made during the Dec '09 storm fwiw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto kind of became unaffordable. But I'm going to miss winter storms. Might have to come to Michigan every now and then to experience some snow. Congratulations on the new job.

KeenerWx Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 For those interested in space weather, G3 conditions possible late Tuesday night into early morning Wednesday with KP index forecasted as 7+. Not unlike the most recent snow event, a lot of variables at play. And we won’t really know a lot until game time. But nonetheless, potential is there to see aurora across parts of the sub. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
