Said this before... but it didn't freeze here until December 4th in 2016. It actually snowed that day at 33 degrees and then finally froze up that evening. We had roses still blooming that morning but they were black the next morning.

It is always good to get some snowfall right b4 Thanksgiving, even if its a week away or slightly more. It really gets you into the holiday spirit.

Mid mid month is the period I think a -NAO develops and could bring some more interesting wx around the lakes region.

I know some mentioned the craziness happening in NM. Here in CO, some places are seeing historic snowfall as well. I'm just missing it on the northern edge...have gotten about 4-5" in the past 36 hours, while places in south Denver metro have gotten 8-12" so far, with a lot more on the way. Live vicariously. URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Denver CO 143 PM MST Thu Nov 7 2024 ...PROLONGED WINTER STORM CONTINUES, WITH HISTORIC SNOWFALL IN EASTERN ELBERT AND LINCOLN COUNTIES... .A slow moving winter storm continues to impact the region with multiple rounds of snow. Generally light snow bands will affect the area overnight, but then expect the next wave of heavy snow to impact more of the region Friday and Friday night, and then slowly diminish Saturday morning as the storm exits the region. Heavy snow accumulations have already paralyzed traffic in east central Colorado including much of the I-70 Corridor around Limon and nearby points surrounding that. Significant snow accumulations have occurred across the Palmer Divide and southern Foothills. Additional heavy snow will spread westward across the plains and into the foothills Friday morning, and then continue through Friday night. From this point forward, the heaviest additional snowfall will occur from Denver metro area eastward across the plains of east central Colorado. This, on top of snow that has already accumulated, will result in a historic snowfall around Elbert, Lincoln, and southern Washington Counties where storm total amounts in some of those locations will be near three feet! The Denver metro area will likely see another 7 to 14 inches with the heaviest amounts in southern half of town. Meanwhile, much lighter snow accumulations are likely farther north including Fort Collins, Greeley, and other plains locations north of I-76. Travel will be impossible east and southeast of Denver.

I solved that problem by removing all the mirrors.
