I certainly don't believe it would have ever happened anyway. Again it all came down to sense of humor, it wasn't my intention to stir anything up. :)

The ECMWF is about a degree colder for the Seattle area on Tuesday morning.  Going to be widespread records.

The ECMWF suite of models is showing a VERY deep trough just off the coast as we get toward day 10.  Possible winter storm for the mountains with that.  I'll be happy to see a good wet period (assuming it happens).  Past history shows cold / wet is even better than just cold for October in setting up for the winter.

One reason I'm so pumped about the persistence of this cold pattern is it shows patterns may have a tendency to lock in this winter.  I'm of the opinion the only thing that could spoil this winter is too much zonal flow.  Given the blocky nature of things in recent years that isn't the most likely outcome IMO.

I'll be interested to see how that trough digs in the 8 to 10 day period.  The amount of phasing with that southern stream system is going to be key.  More phasing will result in a trough further west and wetter / a bit milder.  Less phasing another shot of cold air with relatively light precip.  If we get the latter outcome this will be almost a lock for a top 10% cold October.  I think the first half is a lock for top 5%.

Would love to see this pattern lock in for the winter…I just don’t see that happening though. Fall wavelengths look a whole lot different during the winter.
 

I think at the very least we’ll see a ridgy period for the last third of this month through mid November but still believe a December to remember is coming.

I’m probably one of the lefty-iest people here, I think Columbus isn’t worth a holiday*… and I really don’t have much of a bone to pick with the name “Columbus Day Storm,” because at the time the storm was named, Columbus Day was still a pretty big thing (thus a logical choice to base the name of the storm on). It’s gotten less and less a thing, particularly in the western states, as the decades have passed. None of my employers (back to the mid/late 80’s, so this is not a recent thing) have ever given it as a standard paid holiday.

* Not only is there his treatment of the indigenous people, he really didn’t discover the New World. Asian tribes crossing the Bering land bridge were by far the first to discover the Americas. Columbus wasn’t even the first European; the Vikings beat him by nearly five hundred years.

I totally agree that November could do a 180.  It's pretty common after a cold October in a Nina season.  Some examples would be 1949, 1971, and 2008.  All winners.

I have done some thinking why Columbus Day is such a big deal.  I think you have to look at the context.  When he discovered America the people in Europe had no idea that North America even existed.  He opened up a whole new world to them so it's understandable that people made a big deal out of it.  Eventually that fame they bestowed upon him was transferred to the United States with the Pilgrims and early settlers.  It's only recently it kind of dawned on us that he was actually late to the party so to speak.

That having been said I think the revulsion people feel for him is kind of overblown.  We don't even know for sure what actually happened in any kind of detail.  Things get distorted over time.

Not really an arctic outbreak type pattern though. Pretty progressive with a flattish, at times, Aleutian Ridge and little to no ridging into Alaska.  

I think you are kind of selling it short.  It would certainly be cold enough in the winter for snow given the temps we've been seeing recently.  Keep in mind this is going to be a top 5% cold first half of October.  Furthermore this is the first legit cold October during a Nina since 1984.  That was a famously blocky winter.

And yet this winter could easily end up like nothing you are expecting in early October.

To further expound on the question of amplification.  In January 2008 the mean positive anomaly center was at 40N and right now it's at more like 48N.  That equates to a huge difference in how far south cold air will be able penetrate.

I would take your climate by a small margin over this.  You do a lot better for cold mins and snow which I really like.  Still nowhere near what I would really consider perfect though.

I think KY would have some real drawbacks for me, but they certainly get some good stuff.

A bunch of people died of smallpox from it. I guess they should celebrate that and enjoy that their ancestors’ loved ones were killed by Europeans’ second discovery of North America. Also. He didn’t discover America, the Haplogroup Q peoples did, literally many thousands of years earlier. And things were pretty cold and enjoyable for them.

And for the record. I don’t give a shitt what they call that storm. They could call it the ‘FuckFart Storm’ and I wouldn’t care.

Actually I enjoy calling it ‘The Big Blow’

I consider myself to be pretty lefty on the spectrum and I also think the Columbus Day Storm as a name is fine-- as it happened on what was Columbus Day at the time. That being said, I think now people are slowly realizing that perhaps we have more to celebrate than someone with such a marred history who was not only a pretty morally-bankrupt person, but also as you mentioned pretty late to the chase (I guess we have Leif Erikson Trail to celebrate the first European to "discover" America). It's very much incomparable to a standard holiday like Veterans Day or Memorial Day, as we don't even get any time off or anything.

Actually, no. He totally misjudged the diameter of the Earth (despite the ancient Greeks having come to a reasonably close estimate of it), and thought he had sailed clear to India. It's why the islands he found were called the West Indies and their inhabitants Indians.

It's called clown range for a reason.

True, but I'm sure people who like cold are a bit annoyed at this point.  Some parts of the country are really torching.

Significant cold simply doesn’t happen here at this time of year. Can’t speak for all winter lovers, but I personally don’t even begin to look for cold and/or snow chances until mid/late November. And (usually) it doesn’t get interesting at all until after New Years.

Very different climate/seasonal progression out this way..parts of the PNW are seeing low temps that would register as below average even in January. That’s literally *impossible* to pull off here in October, save maybe right at the end of the month.

Yeah... its strange.   Its just about 80 degrees in Minneapolis right now and in a few weeks it will be probably be in the single digits and snowing.   Meanwhile... its in the 50s and threatening to rain here and yet we will probably have this same general weather for most of the winter.

Yeah, it’s a lot more similar to 2007/08. It’s a cold pattern now because the Pacific is relatively cold but come midwinter it would be kinda meh, unless your name is Tim or Andrew.

By contrast, it seems much easier for areas to our east to get cold outbreaks in the spring. A big March snowstorm is far less of an exceptional thing for you than it is for us.

The area is easily one of the most beautiful places I’ve been to! So I love to visit. :)
 

The native ones are definitely not. After the wedding last month, my wife and I decided we wanted to go back to the golf club to take some fall pictures, especially on the road leading in. Yesterday was too nice of an opportunity to pass up because end of the month might be too rainy/gloomy. Unfortunately, the trees on that road have not peak yet so we settled for this one.  Those trees once they peak will be stunning! 
 

We almost went to Rockwood Farm  near NB, but have no idea if they even open.

I have not heard of Rockwood Farm... but probably have been in that area.   Are these pics from near there?   Top one was late October in 2017 and bottom was late October in 2018.

By contrast, it seems much easier for areas to our east to get cold outbreaks in the spring. A big March snowstorm is far less of an exceptional thing for you than it is for us.

We actually average more snowfall in March than December in the 1991-2020 averages. And snow in April is just as common as snow in November.

Heck it snowed here on May 10th in 2020. Really is fascinating how these seasonal dynamics play out. The Arctic is so much warmer in the autumn (with a much weaker meridional thermal gradient) that the wave trains/dynamics behave much differently compared to winter/spring.

A bunch of people died of smallpox from it. I guess they should celebrate that and enjoy that their ancestors’ loved ones were killed by Europeans’ second discovery of North America. Also. He didn’t discover America, the Haplogroup Q peoples did, literally many thousands of years earlier. And things were pretty cold and enjoyable for them.

And for the record. I don’t give a shitt what they call that storm. They could call it the ‘FuckFart Storm’ and I wouldn’t care.

Actually I enjoy calling it ‘The Big Blow’

I agree with much of this although the smallpox was unintentional, and inevitable as travel across the Atlantic become possible and more common.  Somebody would have eventually done it if not Columbus.

March is the old November now here.

Not only have more 3+ inch events happened in March, I've accumulated more days I observed snow falling.
