There is also growing support for another cool (albeit mostly dry) shot of air around Halloween.

We are quickly moving towards the time of year when it will not take much to produce sub freezing lows with cool dry shots. :)

Gotta love where the 12z models are headed days 10+. Ridiculous snow amounts out here on the GFS in the long range. Fraser outflow and Gorge event. Fun to look at for everyone!

Interestingly enough, the EPS has been hinting at something in that same timeframe as well.

My grandpa talks about November 1985 a lot. One of his favorite weather months. We will see where the models go usually when I think of November and La Niña it usually means a boring November but we will see.

Billings, MT has seen 11 straight days (and counting) with at least an inch of snow on the ground. This is a new record for October. Previous record was 9 days in 1949. There it is again! 😉

Anyone have a list of above avg Cascade seasons that also had dry or cold Octobers?

I see that in 1985 and other years it at least rained here on several days. Last couple are top-10 tier dry.

Pretty incredible pattern. Oklahoma City is currently experiencing a pretty crippling ice storm. No October precedent for a significant winter storm there.

OLM has hit 26 the last two mornings. No records, but close.

My real concern is that there is now a Costco and a Home Depot about 3/4 of a mile away.

Has encroaching UHI dissolved one of the last bastions of climate greatness in the state? Tune in tonight for more details.

Euro doesn't get there by day 10. Blocking theme is there though. Starting to wonder if we'll see any zonal flow this Fall.

Both of those opened in the 1990’s.  Stop spreading panic seeds.

No doubt... I imagine us reading about something like this in the distant past and thinking it can never happen again.   Well it just happened in real time.   We don't have to imagine what it was like.

Interesting flip to Alaska ridging/-EPO across guidance today. GEFS in particular moved significantly.

Yeah kind of how I felt after February 2019. Wasn’t sure if I’d ever live to see 2’ of snow on the ground here and a straight up arctic month that followed but it happened! Anything can happen still.
