East Dubzz Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Dubuque officially finished the month of October with 9.2" of snow. Not a bad start to the year, but hopefully it continues. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andie Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Gorgeous clear sunny morning. Finished October pretty cool.Low @32*. Beautiful frost sparkling on the grass. We'll see a High of 61* today. Climbing to near 70* over the next 5 days. Pretty typical for us as fronts move through then warming. I'm waiting to get clobbered with a snowy front this year ! 1 Quote Before You Diagnose Yourself With Depression or Low Self-Esteem,...First Make Sure You Are Not In Fact, Just Surrounded By A$$holes. “If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell.” Gen.

mlgamer Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 This was the third consecutive October (2017-2019) that we had measurable snow in Topeka. We had no measurable snow in the previous 20 Octobers (1997-2016) before that. 4 Quote 23-24 seasonal snow total: 17.8" (as of 3/9/24) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianJK Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 I just came back from a morning stroll around the neighborhood and I gotta tell ya, this is quite the shock to the system! Those gusty N winds and snow blowing in your face definitely had a bite to it. I'm sure by next week we will all have been acclimated to the cold. What a way to finish off October. Something I'll remember for a while. #WhiteHalloweenAgree - will definitely remember this Halloween. Hey Tom - can you post snow totals for each of the last 3 Decembers?

CentralNebWeather Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 From the NWS Hastings Twitter page showing Grand Island and Hastings as their 1st and 2nd coldest 5 day stretch in history (Oct. 27-Oct. 31). They don't have it for my smaller town, but I know that we were colder, especially for overnight lows and some of the highs. https://twitter.com/NWSHastings/status/1190328968026697728?s=20 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OKwx2k4 Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 From ibrChris on this forum.... "A new October record low temperature for the lower 48 states was set this morning when Peter Sinks, Utah fell to -45.5 between 2:15 and 2:30 am. The previous record was -34.5 set on October 28th (two days ago). The record prior to this year was -33 at Soda Butte, WY (Yellowstone National Park) on Oct 29, 1917. The record for the entire US including Alaska is -48 at Clearwater, AK on Oct 31, 1975. Additionally -44 was recorded at Chandalar Lake, AK on Oct 26, 2008 and Clearwater, AK on Oct 30, 1975" That's 11 degrees. We're in a new era, for sure.It was broken twice in one week.

Tom Posted November 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Agree - will definitely remember this Halloween. Hey Tom - can you post snow totals for each of the last 3 Decembers?TBH, I don't know or have a site where to look that up. Maybe @WestJim or someone can look it up. If someone can post a link to a site where we can look up snow totals I'd appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmahaSnowFan Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Some stats from my weather station in my backyard for October: Avg low: 38.1Avg hi: 58.2Norm hi: 41.6Norm low: 64.7Departure: -5.05.43" of moisture (normal is 2.15").7" of snow (first snowfall 10/28)Coldest low: 17.8(31st)Warmest hi: 76.1(18th) Quite the turnaround from September where it was the 3rd warmest September to being 5 degrees below normal in October. Another month well above average for precip but everything except for .21" of the moisture fell in the first 10 days. These normal readings are from the airport so there is a bit of variability in the temps, etc compared to my backyard as I'm about 8-9 miles from the airport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
