70 to open November. Unbeatable

Happy Halloween, some wet weather overnight and throughout the day but overall this looks like the nicest Halloween here in 4 years with a high around 57. 2 of the past 3 have featured trick or treating with snow on the ground so not having to dress the kids in winter gear with costumes overtop will be nice for a change.

Record latest freeze watch for MSP. November 18th is the date to beat.

I have a feeling this winter will feature plenty of cold air outbreaks that stay 2-4+ weeks in the future.

My ski hill is about to get wiped out.

NWS already declaring it Given the current forecast numbers, it appears MSP will finish this month as the 2nd warmest October on record.

If this doesn’t end up the warmest October on record here it will certainly be top 5.

I’m expecting a record mild winter imby using some farmers almanac type logic. The warmest winter on record in Minneapolis was set in 23/24 while my wife was pregnant with our second child. This winter she is pregnant with our third.

With the autumn we’ve had so far it’s hard to believe this was the scene 6 years ago today.

35 at MSP in the heart of the heat island 30 at Flying Cloud airport in the SW suburbs.

Heat Island flexing its muscle. Hennepin and Ramsey Counties sticking out like a sore thumb against all the freeze warnings. Expecting a low in the mid 30s at MSP.

57 today. Overcast but the drizzle held off until this evening.

Front came through, windows open, back to our regularly scheduled autumn.

Latest 90 on record in general. Dry heat at least. Lows in the mid/upper 30s by next weekend.

We have a chance to tie the record for latest 90 on record at MSP on Saturday. Crazy change from the last month of tranquil wx.
