Back in the mid 90's, I was working at a sawmill, and we had flakes flying here in TH during the last week of Sept. That also heralded a rather cold winter. Not saying this would portend that, but definitely a cold start to Fall. Quote from DLH forecast discussion:
The second
cold front will bring a slightly more organized and persistent
area of rain showers southeastward through the Northland today.
Additional showers are likely behind that front as well this
afternoon into tonight. As temperatures fall overnight, showers
may become a mix of rain and snow. A thin coating of snow may
survive through sunrise before melting shortly thereafter. Frost
is possible overnight into Thursday morning, though clear skies
and calm winds would likely be required.
