I don't see why having snow in October would be a bad thing. Would you rather it be 80 in October? People here run away with a small matching number of statistics. You see this especially with Super Nino analogs.

Anchorage also received 0.1" snow on October 1. That was its first measurable snowfall on record of October 1.

cry for me

haha

Farmers' Almanac  a day ago · Old Weather Saying: “A warm October, a cold February.” For generations, folks have looked to October’s weather for hints about the winter ahead. Does a mild, beautiful October really mean February will come roaring in with bitter cold? Time will tell—but that’s part of the fun of old weather lore.

Right around an inch for the weekend. The upcoming week looks fantastic.

What I'm visualizing in my mind when I read posts like this from @forkyfork:

Light rain moving north into the area. Then dry for the foreseeable future

So sorry for your loss, @RickinBaltimore.

Some light rain and below normal temperatures today before we clear out for most of the rest of the week. We start the week with below normal temperatures with some lower valley locations likely to see some 30's for the first time this year by Tuesday or Wednesday morning. We start a slow warming trend through the week before we turn a bit cooler by next weekend.

Bout the same over this way. With the .30" last night that brings my October total to .52". Already half of what I received all last month. Might be just enough to keep my local area from progressing into D1. Windy day on tap with clearing skies and temps in the mid 50's/mid 30's, fairly seasonal. Trees here have lost 40-60% of their leaves while the lakeshore hasn't even peaked.

46.7° at WXW1 / 48° at HFD 33.7° at WXW2 / 27° at SLK Coldest so far at WXW2. Should reach the 20s the next few nights with SLK having a chance of reaching the teens.

Fall colors are becoming noticeable now above 5K and even some early colors here in the Valley. Popular trees around the house have begun to turn yellow and drop. Our part of the Mountains have had a lot of rainfall since July. Fingers crossed the colors will be vibrant. We are booked solid for the next 25 days in our short term rental downstairs.

Gonna have to wait me thinks. Don’t courses typically wait for any frost to dissipate so the greens don’t get damaged?

You could tell how cold it was last night. No crickets were chirping, dead silent night.

You would have loved the 1960s with snowy winters and drought conditions the rest of the year.

Nice week next week Lows in the upper 40s and 50s for the coast with highs in the 60s and 70s.

Low 40s this AM. Colors cooking along.

I think so. Season is just about done. Incredible futility for the basin as a whole.

This is my tee time on Tuesday. Da fuq am I supposed to do with that?
