31F and cold

[WeatherMan101]

Also cowboys won! KC just can't compete with the offence Dallas has with Dak Dez and Zeke! We whipped the Redskins last week 33-19. So it sucks too see the Seahawks lose! I wanted them to win over the Redskins to help the Cowboys !! Oh well! Seahawks will be fine but that offence is just weird in Seattle.

Edit to that previous post, it's Sinabung that's erupting, not Agung. Typo from MAGMA Indonesia. Still just a steam cloud from Agung.

I doubt it would have made that much of a difference.

Considering we picked up almost an inch of liquid precip with a temperature below about 36 degrees, I'd say a few degrees would have made a pretty big difference.

[Gradient Keeper]

6z GFS in 1 hour 45 minutes!

[WeatherMan101]

My only complaint about this cold snap is our inability to clear out for really cold min temps. I'm still hoping it will tonight, but I'm far from convinced it will. That having been said the cold max temps and the snow have been quite impressive.

Eh, it's November 5th so I can't really complain. Saw some snowflakes and a inch of snow Friday morning. That's pretty decent this early in the year.

[Phil]

All of a sudden, both the GFS and ECMWF depict a monstrous anticyclonic breaker into the NAM domain during week 2. Will be interesting to follow, given this would be somewhat ahead of schedule, verbatim.

SEA managed 0.4" snowfall today, officially.

A few degrees would have given you Bellingham's weather today  

 

Jet suppression is a beezy.

Officially their greatest early November (1-10) snowfall on record.

[Tenochtitlan]

There is still a couple of inches of snow on the tops of bushes and grass, and some large snow boulders left over from the plows. So there's been three days of decent snow cover (at least off of paved surfaces) in early November, just crazy.

That's cool for this time of year.

Yeah, it's already much more snow than two of the three other winters I've lived here.

[TT-SEA]

SEA was at 36 or 37 all night.

 

33 here this morning... still has not gone below freezing here this year.   Trees are still perfectly caked in snow though and there is about 2 inches of snow on the ground.

[MossMan]

Currently 29...first hard freeze of the season.

[crf450ish]

Pretty similar to the 12z ECMWF. Gonna be an even wilder month...

Your gonna see more engine block cracking cold temps this season. You should make a video of you throwing water into the air when its 30 below. 

[stuffradio]

It's 21.2 currently... coldest of the year!

Touched 32 at 9pm. But since it popped up to 34-35 and stayed there all night.

[Geos]

Only 31 here this morning. Expected the clouds to clear, but they didn't.

[TT-SEA]

Some pics that I just took early this morning... so strange to have snow with leaves on the trees.   Still at 33 degrees where it stayed all night.   I keep thinking that this might be a bad sign for the heart of the winter.

 

 

[TT-SEA]

One more...

I don't think it means much for the heart of winter. It was a pretty pedestrian trough, just tapped into some good low level cold. If anything that is a good sign.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Never made it below 39 last night. If we clear out we might make freezing tonight into tomorrow.

I hope you are right.

I think it just means that will see this stage of the pattern again this winter and the next time it will be colder for everyone.

Didn’t bring snow to Andrew = pedestrian, no matter how historic it was elsewhere.

[ShawniganLake]

A chilly 24F here this morning

Just stating facts Jesse.

I think you could say that about all most any trough with that line of thinking. It was some historic low level cold that it tapped into. A ton of temperature records in the BC interior.

[MossMan]

About an inch with tres covered up at Lake Goodwin still. Currently 30.

[Parksvillewx]

Down to 26F here last night. Felt very January like this AM warming my car up.

[VancouverIslandSouth]

Are you still having to water your lawn though?

 

In spite of my best efforts my cannas still look desiccated from all this dry weather. We've had more sunny days than rainy days this fall, I can't help by feel this is a bad sign for what's coming next summer  .

Yeah. It’s a homer statement.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Yeah. It’s a homer statement.

 

Sure Jesse. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

GFS trending very whet. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I can see the front half of this winter turning into a Nov/Dec 96' type show for those south of Seattle. 

[Jesse]

Sure Jesse.

2011-12 redux incumming!!

[SilverFallsAndrew]

2011-12 redux incumming!!

 

Heard Seattle had a good snow event that winter!

[Front Ranger]

The strongest signal I see for North America in the long range (beyond day 8) is very cold air building up in Alaska and the Yukon. The EPS and GEFS both show this from day 8 onward.

 

I don't have time to do the research right now, but maybe wxstatman or someone else could point to some other years that featured this happening in mid November?
