Milwaukee is overdue for snow, according to historical averages

Milwaukee is overdue for its first snow, according to historical averages. Milwaukee, on average, sees its first snow on Nov. 2, the Journal Sentinel reported . Madison is also overdue with its average first snowfall coming Oct. 27. Milwaukee is very likely to see its first snow this month. The Farmers' Almanac and Old Farmer's Almanac both suggest snow could be around during Thanksgiving week. A first snowfall arriving in December isn't common. The record for the latest snow of all time is Dec. 5. It likely won't be the snowiest winter for Milwaukee this year. A historically strong El Niño is possible, and that has brought below average amounts of snow in previous winters. That doesn’t mean no snow will fall. Andrew Quigley, a National Weather Service meteorologist, previously told the Journal Sentinel that an El Niño is an overall weather pattern that will impact the season. But localized, day-by-day weather could buck the overall trend. During the strong El Niño in the winter of 1997-98, the city saw 9.1 fewer inches of snow than average. Yet Jan. 9, 1998, it snowed 11.6 inches. Here are the first measurable snowfalls during past years. More: Hales Corners hires new plow

Arctic Blasts and Winter Storms Threaten Minneapolis, Chicago, Des Moines, and St. Louis From Thanksgiving Week Into December After Polar Vortex Disruption

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — A Sudden Stratospheric Warming Event has officially occurred high above the North Pole, and it could set the stage for a major pattern change across the Midwest. The event has disrupted the polar vortex, which often opens the door for Arctic air to spill south into the Lower 48. Forecasters say the change could last from Thanksgiving week through at least the first half of December. Repeated Arctic blasts and elevated winter storm chances are expected across a wide part of the region.

A strong El Niño, one of the most powerful on record, is already shaping the winter outlook. At the same time, the polar vortex is showing signs of weakening unusually early in the season.
