We had about an inch a couple weeks ago, then only a couple flakes since then. Nothing like going into November when I was a kid tho.
The wind is blowing pretty good right now. It's always neat watching the waves from Lake Michigan slam into the pier's and light house. I haven't seen ice pile up much along the lakeshore in years. One year was really cool with these large jagged sheets of ice just pushed and piled up into all sorts of random shapes.
Nothing yet in Ontario. We are in the snow belt and few years ago got over 100"s in one snow fall.
No frost in the ground yet. Snow will not stay till then. This year the barn swallows left three weeks late so I am expecting a pile of snow for a few weeks then mild and all will melt. Then repeat all winter. Nothing will stay this year from November December into next year.
A few years ago we had a pretty heavy snowfall before the ground froze. Then it got cold. The ground was insulated enough by the snow, and enough snow kept falling that the ground took a couple of months to finally freeze.
What snow meletd at the bottom was replaced on top.
That year the ground never froze more than about 4" deep.
I'm just hoping it doesn't get cold enough to lock the ponds up about 2", THEN snow on top of that....Snow on top of ice really puts the brakes on any further ice development, and I'm ready for some hard water fishing asap..
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.
We have had 8 inches for over a week. My lake has been frozen since then. -24C or -11F here this morning but its supposed to be a nice week with highs above freezing.
We had 5-6 inches last week; gone in a few days. The average temperature so far in November is 33.6F. There was temp-ice around the edges of the pond this morning.
The circulator is sitting on the Barge ready to install. I like to wait until the bitter end.
JKB, You just HAD to say that dirty 4 letter word, didn't ya?
Local weather says:
Heavy lake effect snow from 7:00 p.m. Monday until 7:00 p.m. Tuesday.
According to the map, if the wind switches even a teeny bit to the East, I'll have about 9" of snow on the ground Tuesday evening. If the wind doesn't switch, I'll still have about 6" of that white stuff on the ground. They are calling for snow in the lake effect snow bands to be coming down at the rate of up to 2" per hour.
Looks like it's time to put the snow tires on the car tomorrow!!
I'm NOT ready for the snow season to start just quite yet!!!
Looks like I'll be caught in snow and ice on my way back.
I hate being on the road the first few snow falls. Everyone still has their summer feet on the gas and brake pedals. I can see the traffic tie ups already. It's gonna be a long ride home.
We had our first snow as my dearest friend Dolly dog and I cross country walked in it, starting at 2am this morning as we always do. Very refreshing this morning and easy to see in the dark.
2" here this morning but likely all gone by tomorrow. Ground is still too warm, plus we're supposed to see 63 degrees on Monday. Crazy weather, but man it looks awesome out there today!
Just got back from Galva. Pretty much light to a dusting, or heavy frost till you cross to Indiana. Then it starts to build from there. Southwest lower Michigan got dumped on pretty good.
I expected to see some snow when I got home, but the only snow up here is what I brought back with me
