Late October was interesting, because the front went through with the wind switching to the NNE. Then it started snowing. We didn't have much accumulation. This all happened in the afternoon.

The sample size is too small to draw conclusions like that. Seasonal transitions are insanely complicated. There isnāt any statistically meaningful correlation between regionally-manifestingĀ subseasonalĀ variabilityĀ during the middle of autumn and that of the following winter.Ā Ā 2 Quote Live Weather Cam:Ā https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS WundergroundĀ https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA:Ā https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying last year wasn't a Fraser River outbreak.Ā The Bellingham records prove that.Ā The late month event was also later.Ā This one is extremely rare for its earliness.Ā I think places like Spokane will be a lot colder with this one.Ā The ECMWF metograms showed that.Ā I'm not stupid you know. 1 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!
