October 2022 was epically warm and dry and the following winter was my snowiest ever in the lowlands.

Then you can go to October of 2016 which was the wettest on record for many places, and was historically epic for snow the following winter in many places. One example, see Portland January 10 2017. 
 

As far as this side of the mountains, bear winter of my life.

Anything can happen but that type of winter happens about 1 in 25 years here. 16-17 and 92-93 are the best winters of the last 50 here I believe.

It will be close but Monday morning could be my first freeze of the year. Current forecast is 34.

Time to slap the winters on the Griswold family truckster. Leaving for the B.C. interior on the 9th for CDN Thanksgiving. The 12Z Euro moved the timing up on that trough. The kids would love to see it snow on the Coqu & the Connector. So would I. 

[Phishy Wx]

Holy crap a DOWNPOUR

haven't heard that since about May.

[Phishy Wx]

lol lasted about 30 seconds

Hmm… I would have gone with the Antarctic blue super sports wagon with the CB radio and optional rally fun pack.

Up to .4 for the day. October off to a WET start.

Wonder how these storms will hold together moving east. Getting plenty of surface heating. Could be stormy

[T-Town]

Been mostly spectating since this morning. We’ll see if we can get in on the action with this one.

Bit of a shelf cloud

[SpaceRace22]

Neat clouds in Everett from that cell rolling in.

[MossMan]

On the drive home about 20min ago and now some HUGE drops of rain and windy! 

[MossMan]

Looks like I’m just a tad too far south.

[SpaceRace22]

Aww man, right after I left, this pops. Hope you enjoy, Fred

Had a great father-son moment watching the wall cloud come in and enjoying the sound of the wind.

[MossMan]

Major dumpage! And a deer taking cover under the trees. Then it got breezy again. 

[KeyPeninsula_Wx]

We had some heavy rain earlier but no thunder. 0.82” of rain out here this week…most of that falling Monday. 

[Chewbacca Defense]

Brief bout of heavy wind and rain, but only gave us about .07"  The heaviest stuff passed either side of us.  

[MossMan]

.53” on the day. 
52 degrees. 
Winter is coming. 

[MossMan]

The moon is bright. And so are my deck lights. 

[the_convergence_zone]

0.68” here this week. 

Interesting split in the models next week. Could be quite warm for October potentially, or the rains could return. 

[LowerGarfield]

Had .05 last night. Since 3pm today was at .10 and raining steadily as of 8pm. Might end fire season here in SE WA though the rain 2-3 weeks ago had it on life support. Hasn't been a bad fire season in my corner though.

12z Euro ensemble. Looks like a ridging episode is likely next week, though surface temps are uncertain. Scrambled eggs thereafter
