High was 13C yesterday, right now at 6AM it's raining and also 13C at both Chicago airports
Other then the "limbo" temperatures (not warm enough to enjoy and not cold enough for snow) usually present in November, another reason why I find this month disgusting is the lack of sun. The first 5 days we've had only 16.4 hours of sunshine
Hmm. November is one of the cloudiest months here, but the seasonal difference is small enough it's swamped in year to year variabilty. The low sun and short days does make it feel sunny, though.
But before the snow arrives we will be getting this (MiamiHurricane's gift is coming in a round and about way )
This report is coming out of Edmonton, AB
Warmer, But Not For Long - Nov 6, 2013 A milder morning in the Capital Region. Temperatures at 6am were almost 10 degrees warmer than Tuesday. With the flow being more SE than due S yesterday, Edmonton was stuck at -4 for a daytime high. Today, we'll break onto the positive side of zero. Wind out of the WSW should be strong enough to push in some of the warmer air that western Alberta has been enjoying this past few days. Another mild day tomorrow ahead of our next shot of snow. Temperatures should hit about +2 today & zero or +1 tomorrow. A Low Pressure System will sweep in from the SW on Thursday bringing some increasing cloud. The expected "snow zone" has shifted over the past 24 hrs. It's now looking like most of the snow is going to fall from around Grande Prairie SE into the Edmonton area. There's a chance for 2-5cm of snow for areas around Grande Prairie & Grande Cache. Whitecourt & Edson could be a couple cm of snow. For now, I'm going to stick with an estimate of 1-4cm of snow for the Capital Region. Looks like most of that snow should fall Thursday night into Friday morning. Behind that system, an Arctic High tries to drop in. The question (as it almost always is with this sort of setup) is: "How far west will the cold air sink?" Eastern Alberta will drop to highs in the -10 range this weekend, maybe colder. Edmonton's on the edge of that arctic air & some milder air to the west. I don't think the cold air snugs right up against the mountains. I think we'll see a huge difference in temperatures from west to east across the province this weekend & Edmonton's in the middle. Here's the problem: you're either IN the arctic air or out, and there's no way (at this point) to be certain which side of that line we'll fall on. So, I'll try to "shoot the gap" & go with -5 & -6 for Sat/Sun. Here's the Edmonton forecast: Today - Partly cloudy. Wind: WSW 15-20km/h High: 2 Tonight - Mainly clear. Low: -8 Thursday - Increasing cloud. 60% chance of snow developing in the evening. High: 0 Friday - 60% chance of morning flurries, then clearing. Morning Low: -5 Afternoon High: -3 Saturday - Mix of sun & cloud. Morning Low: -9 Afternoon High: -5 Sunday - Mix of sun & cloud. Morning Low: -14 Afternoon High: -6 Monday - Partly cloudy. Morning Low: -13 Afternoon High: -3
It's really -22F (-30C) in Yakutsk right now, and it was just 38F (3C) there the other day. They'll be contending with windchills of -40F/C as well. I really feel bad for the people that live there and hate it.
Batamaj dropped from 14 to -50F (-10 to -45.6C). Yakutsk might not see 0F again until March, or 32F until April, and places like Oymyakon are quite a bit colder.
Yes. South Jersey hits the jackpot in this one. Wow, I doubt that will happen, though. Just when in the next 10 days is all that snow supposed to fall?
Can't believe it, even Weather Underground now saying snow next Wednesday night. Still a week away, but we'll see.
"Wednesday Night
Overcast with a chance of snow. Fog overnight. Low of 25F with a windchill as low as 12F. Breezy. Winds from the NNE at 15 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 70% with accumulations up to 2 in. possible."

Yup. WU and even Accu long range forecast uses the GFS and if you saw the latest GFS you would jump out of your seat. Not going to post anything yet until Euro agrees.
As far as the overachieving snowstorm that just happened here's some records....
Sioux Falls, SD breaks daily snowfall record and has shortest amount of days in between 4 inch snowstorms Spring to Fall.
“this will mark a new record for the fewest number of days between the last 4+" snowfall in the Spring and the first 4+" snowfall in the Fall. This year will only be 197 days, which would break the old record of 203 days set in 1970, and would be a full 100 days shorter than the average of 297 days for the period of record since 1893.”

Snow in the forecast here, finally.
Next Tuesday:
Weather.com: 1/-6, 40% chance snow.
Weather Underground: 4/-6, 70% chance snow, up to 8cm.
Accuweather: 1/-6, 55% chance, 3.2 cm. Though after the 15th it shows temperatures a few degrees above normal the rest of the month, hopefully that changes.
