Sweet! Must be more of a westerly wind, eh?

My thought as well. Amazing to look at the Mohawk cam multiple times this morning and see bright, sunny skies.
East wind. Models have been indicating the convergence band hitting them so drift south as we go through the day. I'm hoping, I hoping!
Big meso-low to the north of the Bayfield Peninsula.
Maybe even a meso-low for Big Bay and the basins inland tonight/early tomorrow.

A dollar for each inch all season?
The band is starting to drift south. Lac La Belle getting hit now and cloud bank is getting closer to me. Hope it holds together, maybe even stalls. Would be nice to take a Black Friday powder ride.

Is this the setup that creates the legendary "Bayfield Bomber"?

I'm so used to it being more of a west flow. I'm curious how often this happens? That's one thing nice about a peninsula, you can get lake effect from more directions!

Maybe the meso low will drift over Detroit, shut down the airport to keep the Packers from coming home.
Otherwise Happy Thanksgiving all!

I was out skiing this morning with the neighbor's yellow lab (dog sitting duties today), and could see the dark blue skies across Bete Grise as the snow band was moving in. After we got back to Lac La Belle, it snowed 8 inches in about 4 hours. I needed snowshoes for our evening walk. Pretty cool. A few years back, an even heavier snow band dropped 24 inches in about 6 hours in Houghton. That time my ski tracks were filling in right behind my skis and I was skiing right behind the groomer at MTU.
The Bayfield Bomber is with a WSW flow. When all the conditions are right, it sets up a nice (and usually bigger) convergence band that can hit anywhere from around Toivola north. Has been known to produce 1-2' in just a few hours. We have not seen one in quite some time. I think we are overdue!

Pure LES with an east wind is usually pretty rare. Typically when there is an east wind, there is usually a low just to our south and some system snow involved as well, so it is called lake enhanced.
By the way, the band did make it to us by around 2pm, but had weakened considerably. All we got was around an inch. Mohawk and its surrounding suburbs have been the banana belt so far this winter. Was more snow in Lake Linden and Bootjack when I was down there on Wednesday. Not too concerned yet.
