michsnowfreak Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Figured I'd start the thread. While the Winter Solstice is still 4 weeks away, met winter starts in a week. Its been quiet since many of us saw out first snow and taste of winter November 9-10, but now wintry potential is showing up in multiple extended forecasts. So it's time! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frog Town Posted Tuesday at 10:23 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:23 PM Weather history buffs, help me out here. It was early December 2000, and we had a setup similar to what we’re seeing now—a hybrid-type low dropping out of Alberta. It was originally forecast to behave a lot like this weekend’s storm, but instead it tracked farther south and nailed Ohio and southern Michigan. I had just graduated college and remember being caught off guard by the shift. Ironically, that December ended up being one for the books, turning into one of the coldest and snowiest on record for these parts. Thanks for starting the thread, Michsnowfreak. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started down by Tulsa on the previous day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This puts a kibosh on potential but it still brings the snow this weekend, at least for me and points north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted Wednesday at 01:06 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:06 PM would be nice to get the high ratio duster mid week to trend favorably 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago916 Posted Friday at 03:59 AM Share Posted Friday at 03:59 AM Doesn't mean much, but seems like next week's storm has continued to trend north. Looks like better spacing with this weekends storm. Doesn't look particularly strong tho but something to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackstraw Posted Saturday at 03:46 AM Share Posted Saturday at 03:46 AM I know this Chitowncentric board is focused on tomorrow but the signal of a possible App runner coming up from the S behind this one and partially phasing with some northern stream energy in the Tues to Wed timeframe is gaining a little support with the models. Would be a nice to substantial stat padder for most of the sub and get folks to the S (ILL/IN) and E(OH) that will whiff tomorrow in on a pretty decent early season snowpack that could be around until at least through the weekend. Might be thread worthy if models keep trending up (mainly the stingy fickle Euro). Staying positive as long as I can lol. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeenerWx Posted yesterday at 05:19 AM Share Posted yesterday at 05:19 AM Looking like a 1-3/2-4 shot across portions of the sub on Monday. Perhaps a more substantial punch on table for southern and eastern portions. Gotta love every chance to bury the not so distant past of excruciatingly long and boring stretches. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillsdaleMIWeather Posted yesterday at 09:11 AM Share Posted yesterday at 09:11 AM Euro also has the system for next weekend now, if the storm today, the duster Monday night and this new storm come to pass we could all have one hell of a snowpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartman Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago The coldest low of the 1st third, if not the 1st half of December, look to be in the upper teens. Not much of a temperature spread, snow events or sun there. Looking like a colder version of December 2014, so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvck Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago should be a nice early-season event for parts of IN and OH that missed out on the past weekend's big one. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
