Looking a little closer while I'm working on Holiday 2026 thread which I will post this week sometime, all 3 winter months look to have significant arctic blasts this year. How the anoms flush out will depend of course. Don't even ask about snow, that's a fickle beast. Might as well ask if your getting any from your woman this winter.

Maybe consider contacting a private wx org. They may have access to that kind of data they can direct you to.

Couple hundredths of rain last night. Pretty paltry. Temps look like they will drop next week to more avg with 45-50 on tap for highs. MN HS football playoffs start next week as well.

Overcast this morning with mid level stratus. Looking forward for some rain today. Been a lean month so far.

I've got my eyes on Dec & Feb for potentially being on the colder side.

Not really a good cast here. Misread the unfolding pattern here. Picked up on LP in the E, but that was a Nor' Easter well E. LP in the W area shoots N as HP slid E.

I've just seen smaller flocks here n there. They may have fled further S quicker than hanging here. Maybe the colder wx earlier was responsible. BTW Crosby fire near Finland at 200+ acres now but 35% contained.

Colors here in town lag behind inland. Running 50%, but cooler, drier wx should speed things up. Warmer wx slowed everything down. I've noticed a lot less geese over town this year so far. Could be a mad rush on the way tho. Or the fires up north caused some realignments of flocks as the they were more located in the central areas of CAN this year.

Upper teens n 20's for lows this morning. A crisp AM across my area, n others. Radiational cooling really blew the forecast. Much cooler than cast. Another cold one tomorrow AM with freeze warnings out again. Frost/Freeze adv will probably be done after this as growing season is over here now.

This is OT here, but informative. Windows 10 is no longer receiving updates unless you extend for another year. I went into my settings, and checked under Windows Update, and I was eligible for a free extension. I have a MS acct with my computer backed up with them, so I qualified for the free ext. of critical updates. Must do this by Oct 13 to get it free.

Time for you to move a little N.

Chilly AM with temps in the 30's with some upper 20's. There was a frost adv this morning, and there is a freeze warning out for tomorrow morning for the N sub. Mid Fall conditions coming into play.

Could be a long wait before I have access to monthly data due to gov shutdown. So my Sept charts will be delayed.

Back to seasonable temps after record highs on Oct 4 in the mid 80's around my area. Couple hundredths of rain with the front moving through here yesterday. Pretty dry looking for the next few days. Wish Hibbing n I-Falls had longer records, but it is what it is.

Decent call here. A little quick moving the boundary thru tho.
