While some areas in the western half of Ohio have been experiencing
drought (Toledo had the driest October on record) once again I had
above normal precipitation. I was almost 1.50 inches above normal for
October putting the yearly total more than six inches above normal.

Subject: Active Weather Weekend 


When temperatures got as warm as they did early in the weekend for
this time of year you knew you were going to pay the price. I
counted over 70 storm reports for Ohio for Saturday and Sunday
combined.

I kind of took a personal interest in the F3 tornado that hit
Evansville Indiana early Sunday morning. I went to a junior college
about 50 miles north of there (Vincennes) back in the late 60's and
had some college buddies from that area at the time.

An interesting note to make is how some of the news media was saying
how rare it is for tornados to strike this time of year. Yes,it is
rare the further north you are and it has been a below normal year
for tornados, however, there is a slight rise in the number of
significant tornados (F2 or greater)during October and November
according to the SPC stats over the years. Many of us remember the
F4 tornado in the Van Wert area November 10, 2002 that had
fatalities and the F2 tornado November 12, 2003 that struck the
Wooster area November 12, 2003 causing a few injuries and did $ 21
million dollars in damage.

Anyone experience any storm damage over the weekend? I had a wind
gust of 50 m.p.h. Sunday that pretty much redeposited the leaves
from my yard into a field across the road.

I was thinking the same thing early in the week when looking at the
forecast for the coming weekend. Winter or spring, the wx systems are
somewhat the same type...when you get unusual warm temps with a strong cold
front coming in. I have to agree that there seems to be more severe
weather in the late fall than I can ever remember. However, I do wonder
whether this is just a cluster in the past few years that in the future
will just be an anomaly... Only time will tell on that.

I recorded a gust of 49 mph as the original line came through. I think I
have leaves in my yard that came from about 5 miles away! During the onset
of the high winds, my security light popped on, and I could only see out
about 30' due to blowing leaves! I didn't have any damage other than 3
blown light bulbs from several power spikes. The track lighting in my ham
shack got REAL bright several times, with 2 out of the 4 bulbs burning out
within a minute or so. Computers and radios on UPSs were fine, but it did
get a little hairy there for a few minutes.

Look out for tomorrow night again. Looks like a similar setup on the way.
Lets' see... The 30th anniversary of the Fitz and the 3rd of Van Wert
tornado both on the 10th... Maybe it's time I head south in early November.

Hello Group; 
Those of you who have visited my weather web site in the past couple of months may have noticed my wind 
direction is North. I have no idea what type of bad luck I'm having with this equipment. It is frustrating as this 
problem has reared its ugly head a few times in the past. I simply can't afford to keep sending the unit to Davis Inst. 
to have checked/fixed. Does anyone out there have any home remedies to fix the problem? I'd dearly love to be able 
to view that all important wind direction as well as other aspectes of my weather information, but I can't at this time. 
Also, keep an eye on me weather site as more minor (or somewhat major) changes are in the works. If you have a 
weather web site you'd like listed in my links, send me a private e-mail with the current web address. I thank you in 
advance.

Thursday the high here was 33F. The normal for the date is 53F.
Remarkably, this -20F departure occurred with over 95% of possible
sunshine, warm ground temperatures, and no snow cover! We did have
flurries on Wednesday and early Thursday. After a high of 69F Tuesday
we had nearly 48 straight hours at or below freezing with just a breif
rise to 33F Thursday PM. The NWS high Thursday at CVG was 31F.

Having received my first measurable snow late yesterday and receiving
2.6 inches of snow in the past 12 hours as of 7 p.m. this evening it
looks more like Christmas instead of Thanksgiving. The roads here have
been snow covered since about 4 p.m. this afternoon with numerous
traffic accidents.

For those of you in the snowbelt I guess you'll need a yard stick and
not a ruler by Friday! Be safe.

On the afternoon/evening of the 22nd, we had a nice little fall of
1.1" snow. Then in the day of the 23rd, a seperate system started
that would eventually leave 15.0" from the 23rd to the 25th. Although
not the monster storm forcasted, this was the largest November
snowstorm in the 4 years of observation, along with the greatest 24hr
amount, 9.3", and the greatest snowdepth, 14", for November. From
last night's system we got 3.1". That gives us 19.1" total for the
last 5 days, and 24.2" for the month and season. Current snow depth
is 12".

ended up with 0.09". 
Just got off of the radar site & within the next 30 minutes
