Hey wavehunter.....I wonder if snow in mid November is normal in the Mid West.

A foot of heavy snow is the most in 20 years! This is why you cannot depend and look at history or stats. I can go on and on about this that abnormal things are happening

Hmmm:

Actually – it is!

Here is the average November snowfall in the Upper Midwest: National Weather Service Climate

Minneapolis, MN – 9.9 inches
Duluth, MN – 15.3 inches
Rochester, MN – 12.7 inches
Marquette, MI – 19.3 inches


And here is the average November snowfall on the East Coast: http://www.weather.gov/climate/xmacis.php?wfo=okx

NYC – 0.4 inches
Bridgeport, CT – 0.7 inches
Windsor Locks, CT – 2.4 inches
Atlantic City, NJ – 0.3 inches

Those numbers show exactly the difference between us on the East Coast and a “real winter climate” like the upper Midwest and Great Lakes: They don’t have to hype/spin/drum up winter...their winter speaks for itself

BTW - Still NO FROST at NWS Bridgeport/Central Park so far

Once again tweaking reality....Thats midwest...I'm talking about where its snowing hard now...Twin Cities!

Earliest and Latest Snowfall and Snow Cover in Twin Cities

November average is 7.8. http://climate.umn.edu/doc/twin_cities/snowmsp.txt

This could go down as one of the most significant snowstorms to strike the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area before the Thanksgiving holiday in two decades. The impacts were far reaching; from power outages to car accidents to flight cancellations.

Roughly 8 to 12 inches of heavy, wet snow has fallen over the Twin Cities since the snow began late Friday night.

The data I posted comes from the NWS Office in the Twin Cities. It shows Minneapolis averages 9.9 inches of snow in November (1970 – 2000). They received 11 inches on Saturday.

National Weather Service Climate


Are you going to seriously debate with me that your source (whatever it is) is more accurate the NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE?

Face the fact...they average a almost a foot of snow in the Twin Cites even before winter even starts...we average 2.5 inches up in Windsor Locks and 0.7 in Bridgeport.

Bingo...you said it...thank you. What they recieved in 1 storm was more than average For the whole month! And keep in mind its 13 days before thanksgiving! Pretty sure its the earliest for this amount.

Stats mean nothing nowadays..

Geez.. what is the argument here? The odds are alot greater in the midwest going by past numbers. So I think the key here yes, THEY received it NOT CT. When CT gets a foot of snow on November 15th or earlier, let me know..still have never seen it. Can it happen here ...of course. Are the odds greatly stacked against it? Yep

Default Possible SnowStorm Day After Thanksgiving

Get your snow tires on. Buy your snowshoes. Clean your shovels. Models getting consistant with a storm brewing in the NorthEast around Thanksgiving most likely the Friday, Saturday or Sunday after.

This would be accumulating. The pattern has been a flip flop of cold warm cold warm, we're going to flip back to cold after 25th. If thats the case and this storm does develop, that will spell snow.

Have you seen anybody post their own special thread of pictures? I haven't. Everybody seems to understand the concept of placing them in the sticky thread at the top of the page.

I don't understand why you created a weather sticky at the top of the page, but you post weather stuff outside of your sticky.

The first snowfall is a notable event. I'd be looking forward to it.
