Not here. Low month temp in May ranges between 21 to 30, median 26. For October it's 11 and 26, median 20. Hilltop vs. rad pit? Touched 19 this morning. On 29 Octobers we've gone below twenty 14 times, though only 3 times in the most recent 11 years. Didn't check the washtub ice until 10:30, still 1/4" thick.

You struggle to frost, I struggle to get rid of frost. Wonder if we can go the whole day. 11:38am and half the yard still looks like this. North facing cold hollow, going to preserve snow well if we get any this winter. Thats the midday sun here, lol. Yikes.

I still see obs https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=kslk

HRES still is still showing along with esembles which are fairly well clustered being stuck into the IO the next couple weeks,by far right now its been doing a fairly decent job as most of the RMMS now are showing the same thing to an extent

36.5 for the low and solid frost

100%. It also correlates strongly to snowfalls in excess of 6". The AO runs in odd cycles. Seems like 10-13 year cycles or something close to that. Ive been suspecting the cycle is flipping the last 2 winters. It would go a long ways in helping us this winter if its predominantly negative. Makes a huge difference with ninos. Just because the nino is basinwide or east based doesn't automatically wreck us. Having a +AO will though lol. Based on everything I'm seeing, I'm probably more optimistic about this winter than the vast majority on here. Wont be a cold one like last year I dont think but a persistently suppressed storm track with friendly high latitudes will likely deliver some legit fun even if it melts quick lol.

This is the most potential we've seen for a snowy winter in many years. That's enough to keep me interested. How much snow would it take at the airports this winter to bring the 2011-2026 annual average back up to "normnal"? Lots.

the spike in rate of warming in the last 10-15 years is really impressive

Cirrus and cirrostratus clouds this morning.

Wendy was here (frosty) low of 36

10 of the 20 warmest Septembers in Yellow Medicine County, MN (Population 9,477) have occurred within the past 30 years. This means that the other 10 occurred over the 100 years prior.

It’s the only weather we’ve got

You're actually right this time. Upper 70s in my forecast right now. Could be 80+ for 2-3 days. Crazy stuff

It’s like rai-e-aaaain, on your Christmas day

27.1 at 1100 ft this morning. We microclimate in a big way

Record warmth possible to start November

We need it to look like music video outside by early-mid January. There are no extra seats on this ride cause Alanis took all of them. Isn't that ironic?

Very good. There you go calling it fake cold after complaining yesterday that people poke fun at you. Don’t hate on areas that produce their own cold while others need Canada to come to the rescue for their cold. It’s all weather.

Love checking in on this thread every October to the same 20 pages of arguing about fake cold and what kind of foliage season it's been.

Snow tracking time will be coming soon!

Nothing! LOL 0c line closing in Blizz!

I don’t like getting into climate change discussions because people want to make it political. But being a mechanical engineer and scientist I know two things….climate change is real and we (humans) have added to that the change. How much we have impacted CC vs the earths normal cyclical waves, I can’t tell you. .
