At least western MT scoring early bodes well for the PNW lowlands later on. Well, I don't have any data to back that up lol, but generally good winters in MT = good winters in WA. That said, we're all about to torch and/or suffer air quality issues in early December.

There is always March

I’ve done storm work. When people complain about how long it’s taking them, I want to punch that person in the throat.

We got you

I don't even know why you are so OBVIOUSLY worried. We have over a week left in November. Though historically every 30 years or so we see a great November blast they are incredibly rare, and generally November is the most blah month we have. At least we've seen a great start to mountain snow pack. We never go through a whole winter without a period of at least a little crap. I'm sure we'll slog through with a little bit of inversion fun.
