Is this possible Lake Effect coming our way?

Much of the northern Plains and Upper Midwest will likely be shielded from precipitation as a dip in the jet stream steers the storm around to the Northeast instead, but areas by the Great Lakes should keep an eye out this week.

"It is that time of year where these systems have the potential for some decent snowfall due to the available moisture during the fall months," Rinde added.

This flow, in combination with the cold air in place over the Great Lakes, can also cause some lake-effect snow, especially off the northwestern Great Lakes.

"Some of this snow could accumulate in the overnight hours," added Roys.

As the week comes to a close, the potential for storms continues across the region, especially in southern areas.

"There is the potential for another round of enhanced precipitation across the southern Plains, Gulf Coast and Southeast next weekend as a storm tracks eastward," said Roys.
 
They’ve been saying that starting Monday we will be getting snow mix all week. Not unusual for November though. There was snow mix 2 weeks ago in the higher elevations when I was out looking at fall colors.

It looks like it could get nasty in some areas.
 
They call it Winterpeg for good reason. I was there once and the howling wind in the downtown was unforgettably cold....looks like we should dodge this first storm for the most part.

I am 30 kms south of Gimli. Power was out all night. Good timing I had the stove installed. Plow got stuck and had to be towed right in front of my house. With the mild weather that really chewed up my road out.
 
You must be around petersfield?
 
Sorry. Just south of Winnipeg Beach.
 
Power out here for the past 8 hrs. Fortunately, it came on again right at dark. Lots of flooding in western WA , but fortunately we are on high ground and not near any rivers.

I saw that on TWC, it looks real bad. I'm glad you're high and dry.
 
The flooding in British Columbia is substantial and causing hoarding due to infrastructure failure. Highways and rail sidelined for a considerable time frame.
