    Looks like a pretty pleasant month setting up in the southern Great Lakes, ie in the far eastern reaches of the Midwest lol. Colors rapidly popping, sunny with crisp chilly nights, temps oscillating between above and below avg.

    Perfect autumn weather

    The color is absolutely exploding. Crazy how it happens so quickly.

    We see so many posts like that, some are trolling, some just unawareness, some maybe a combination of both. But the inability for some to differentiate between a seasonal mean and the actual day to day weather is wild. The weather ebbs and flows and changes on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. This shouldnt have to be explained repeatedly on a weather forum, but it does.

    Fairbanks, AK saw the first measurable snow of the season September 30.

    Happy October! My favorite color!

    The yearly max/min temp is always a fun one to watch. In 2026, the max at Detroit was 97F and the min -10F. Even with a mild winter we will likely still go below zero. The avg temp for summer here is 72.3F and winter 28.4F, a difference of about 44F.

    Again, completely different climate on the east coast vs Great Lakes. The least days with measurable snow on record at Detroit was in 1889-90, when just 15 days recorded measurable snow. But thats still 15 days where snowfall was measured. Even Detroit and Boston, which average near identical snowfall, are completely different climates, but I know further south in NYC its more extreme. All that said, I don't see how you could ever expect a snowless winter in NYC without everything going completely wrong, especially in a wet pattern. I mean, easily rain would dominate over snow. But snowless would be an extraordinary feat.

    Though there have been several days of 50-52, yesterdays 47° at DTW was the first 40s since May 31st. Today was 49°.

    That cold map is for Oct 5-12.

    You sold on actual surface temps being warmer than 1997-98? As I mentioned earlier 1997-98 is definitely the odd duck for strong ninos in that Feb was the warmest rather than coldest month.
  12. michsnowfreak
    Thats crazy about 1997-98. Here its more frequent snow so its basically in the end getting less than normal during strong nino. Theres no worries about it not snowing. Even on the coast where a big storm or lack thereof is often the defining moment of the season, i suspect a completely snowless winter is very difficult to achieve. Even an identical pattern to 1997-98 would yield different sensible weather and likely some snow in nyc if it happened again.

    Oh ok. Plenty of trees/woodlands here in MI! The color show will be great. Corn fields are definitely an important aspect of the autumn harvest however.

    Feb 1998 actually had a huge snowstorm in southern OH and northern KY, but I dont think it was very widespread. Feb was the torchiest month of the 1997-98 winter while Dec was the torchiest month of the 1982-83 winter. Typically December is the warmest month in strong Ninos but 1997-98 proved that wrong. I just cringe everytime you guys wish for 1983. Absolutely the worst strong Nino of them all here. Although certainly some bad luck played a factor.
