I remember following that. There was more snow then forecasted. It was dumping snow and windy, it was crazy 

https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2010/11/humility.html?m=0

Was very extreme. Pulled off a 35/21, 26/20 and a 30/14 consecutively. Had 4” of snow which was more than expected and a rare wind advisory…for strong north winds. Have never seen a wind advisory for northerly winds other than November 2010. Was also a flash freeze situation roads and sidewalks froze up very quickly.

So many people gonna be up late, this is awesome!!

[TacomaWx]

One nice thing is if this doesn’t pan out…mountains are still gonna get tons of snow either way. We will also still have 4 months of potential opportunities coming up after this going into early March. 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Would be great to go ahead and lock in member #39

Temp is dropping nicely with the CAA tonight.  Down to 45 with cloud cover right now.

I ended up with 55.3 for October.  0.7 below 2014.

Missed the memo. There was a rewrite to "November SNOW"

Welcome to November

11/1/22 6:22 AM 6z GEFS Re-cap

 

Wow! Just woke up to feed my cat. 6z GEFS were the coldest ensembles yet. The block over Alaska looks really good and if the trough digs just a bit more PDX even will see modified arctic air! 850mb ensemble mean for PDX now bottoms out near -5c with a large cluster of members colder yet to -10c. Seattle -6.5c with a cluster to -12c. More impressively Moses Lake mean temp dips to -11.5c with a large cluster of members pulling arctic air into the Columbia Basin/Gorge.

 

Surface Temps for PDX and Seattle even dip below freezing at times and the Gorge/Columbia Basin down into the teens! The 850mb and Surface Temp anomaly are several notches colder than 00z. Even the snowfall map paints widespread snow for the lowlands 2-4" for PDX metro and 3-5" for Puget Sound. This looks real good, but I do caution that the GFS is known for being both too fast and too aggressive with cold air. We shall see though! It's amazing to see this regardless on an ensemble mean for early November! C'MON!!!!

[Gradient Keeper]

We really want to see the 12z EURO/EPS continue to trend colder too. GFS/GEFS is one thing, but if we can get the EURO on board and within Day 7 now it holds a lot more weight.

12z GFS in 2 hours 2 minutes
12z ECMWF in 4 hours 12 minutes

If this cold snap comes to pass, this will be the weirdest Fall in PNW history by a decent margin.

I guess it's kind of similar to 2014. August September October were record warm then we had the cold snap in early November. Though this fall was warmer and smokier

[MWG]

Looks like it didn't start raining till about 5am and right now it's just pouring! Currently 45F

[Cascadia_Wx]

Well at least October got close to catching up to average on precip. And it didn’t smash the warmest on record by that many degrees.

On to November! Cloudy and 45 currently.

My wife is hopefully peacefully under the knife. 2nd time in a few months. Hopefully your husband likes the cold and snow like we do. M’lady is marginal on it unless she’s safe at home.

Thank you. I haven’t told her about the impending hammer drop so all is well on that front so far.

I hope all goes well, sending positive vibes your way.  We are waiting for insurance to do their thing before scheduling my wife's surgery.  Hoping to get her in before Thanksgiving.
