This fall has been a real dud down here in Socal as well. My location in Orange County has only received 0.16" since July 1, because none of these storms will drop far enough south to benefit the Southwest part of the U.S. Arizona and the 4 Corners region have been very dry as well, with the exception of one snowstorm that affected New Mexico earlier this fall. We need a pattern change that brings colder air to the PNW and allows the storm track to drop farther south.

I'm on a flight to Chicago now for 10 days After a chilly day tomorrow near freezing, it looks like we may not even have any LOWS below freezing the entire rest of the trip. GFS has them near 60 next weekend.

You beat me to it! King gfs? Heres closeup. The fattening and back building of the ridge, its beautiful.

Not only no snow, but nothing even remotely close to where it could have happened. The closest flakes were from that clipper that went through KC a while back or the snow in the far west Panhandle. Absolutely nothing anywhere near so far.
