All of the models depict the trough as being cut off from any real significant cold air source. Could be coolish, and likely some frosty days in its wake, but no reason to soil ourselves at this point.

Hoar frost or regular frost?

Plenty of Arctic air surging south on this run.

Here the last few days were

10/23: 44/39, 10/24: 49/31, 10/25: 45/27, 10/26: 45/31

which was significantly better than last year (although I don't have the data because weather station history crashed at the end of October 2019).

 

Did better than we did here. I’d be interested to see how your area fared in October 2019 I’m sure your location did quite well atleast maybe even better than October 2020. Either way it was a pretty good cold snap the last few days just didn’t produce good numbers here locally.

Could be a decent little cold snap coming up but doesn’t look like a November 2017 redux. Hard to say though still 10 days out.  Had 1/2” of snow here with that event. Then a 40/34 day on 11/3...41/34 on 11/4 and 39/32 on 11/5.

Yup. I'm not complaining.... Still a bit premature for me to utter the [Colder Runs Ahead] mantra. Maybe by 00z runs Saturday.

00z ECMWF in 10 hours 39 minutes. Make your plans accordingly to be here for an amazing run!

Looks like some frosty nights at least. Not a torch so there's that.

I certainly am not outraged by his technical posts. I just genuinely don’t know why he shares the advanced stuff when pretty much no one on here can follow it. I wonder if there is another website where he can truly nerd out with others that would understand?

You make some decent points, Mr. Hutz. It probably has more to do with his history here than anything.

Its hard for me to buy that he is simply incapable of communicating his thoughts, though. Phil can be very lucid when he wants to be. Seems like it wouldn’t be too hard to say what he thinks what will happen with the pattern going forward and, since this is indeed a NW weather subforum, how it may affect us. It seems like he mainly does the acronym stuff because a) it’s a nice smokescreen to keep his predictions good and vague, and b) because, as has been mentioned, he of course craves attention and it’s a tried and proven way to quickly poke the hornet nest here. Seeing it from that standpoint it is perhaps more understandable why he tends to draw such an seemingly inordinate amount of ire for the acronymbics.

But the date was for late November 2006z after all the fun and games

11/26 and 11/27 was the main action at my place. I think we are possibly capable of some good stuff even if it’s the beginning of the month if given the correct setup. 

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

I think that warmth here is from downsloping off the Chuckanut Mountains to the south. I've seen it happen before in some southerly flow situations. KBLI recorded a high of 61°F on Jan 3rd of this year.

Yeah that wind was pretty weird last night, by the time it worked its way through all the valleys, nooks and crannies to get to my house it was more of a SE wind.  It caught a lot of people off guard, lots of recycling blowing down the street.

Those clouds have been ridiculously persistent up there while its been sunny down here since Saturday afternoon.    Totally different world up there.

We will get the occasional sunbreak, and its kinda comical to see the furballs flock to the sunbeams to enjoy the warmth.
