Denver, Colorado just set the largest temp swing in October history and the second largest swing of all time. Its top 25 temperature swings weren't even in October!

In other words, unprecedented. They also just shattered 2 daily low temperature records.

 

Truly amazing stuff! 

 

Meanwhile, back in ND..

A tad gusty up there in ND. I was actually pleased to see the winds along the frontal system too.

The footage coming out of ND is really impressive.  Drifts are covering the cars, some are as high as single story houses!  It looks like some of the vids you posted of the Blizzards that hit the GL's in the late 70's.

Several hours of snow showers today! I was gone most of the day but was only bout an hour from home up in Charles City and it was snowing most of the day. No accumulation but awesome to see. Thats 2 days in a row, barely into mid October, that I have seen the glorious flakes flyin!

Plenty of 1-3" reports of snow just W & N of MSP across MN...nice to see them folks get their first snows of the season.  Tracking this beauty and beastly storm has been interesting throughout the week.  It certainly will be one of those highlight storms we'll see in future cycles during the Winter & Spring months.

Anyone have any pic's to share? I know sometimes the hardest hit zones aren't always able to be recorded til well after the storm has passed.

I've been outta the loop even more so than normal because I've been on vacation time, so I'm just catching this. That certain climate "Gretta" was in Denver for the arctic blast. I guess these things have happened so often over the years, it's been given the name "The Al Gore Effect"

Awesome. Yep, that's a take-me-back to morning of 1-26-78 peeking out my parent's front window. Perhaps only thing worse with that one was the -50F windchills thrown in for good measure/misery

Here's a fun video for all the scaredy folks. Careful, has a lot of truth in it.

2 fun charts I found the other day after reading a hype post about AGW, coral and El Niño.

Frequency of CP Niños based on corals. (Hysteria added at the end despite the trend)

Solar cycles....

If my eyes are right, CP Niños precede and occur during low solar/global cooling events like the Maunder Minimum and the LIA, but I may just be uneducated and delusional. :lol: :lol: Hard to refute when you can use their own data against them. Bring on those CP, low solar Niños!

You must be confused. What do your last 2 posts have to do with this big winter storm? As I recall, Tom said there's a separate thread for your opinions.....
