With a little over 10” so far this short season, Friday into Saturday starting to look like first storm and headline event along the Superior shore, especially the higher terrain areas.
At the 60 hr cutoff it was still snowing. Could be looking at a foot or over around here.
It's been an odd October. Most usually start nice and then turn cold, with the majority of October snow coming late in the Month. This year, graupel and flurries in late Sept and accumulating snow on October 5th, and it has snowed consistently this month with total snow in a localized area here of 8-9" so far. MQT's temp is -5.3 for the month with 4.1" of snow. As I recall, the seasonal snowpack started this time last year.
Like your new 'hood!
After a month of fog, rain, snow, and FOG (!), beautiful blue skies all day long. Even with the breeze, the high of 57 felt warm enough for only a t-shirt. Wasn't sure there was gonna be another day this nice, so I enjoyed it even more.
Waking up to a little white on the ground yet again. 2-3" in the forecast for today.
This will be the 4th day this month with measurable snow and the 8th with at least a trace. Average for October is around 8".
Blustery and cold (35 for the high), but was able to melt most of the 2" of snow that fell last night. Certainly has felt more like November lately than mid October.
Looked outside and the deck has a light coating of snow... just a skiff, but rain/snow seem fairly reg in the extended. I’d love an Indian summer before the snow comes.
Rain showers have now changed to snow showers, 35. No accumulation until perhaps tonight where a coating could be expected.
total rain from storm was 3.75”.
Unbelievable for October.
Crazy difference early fall has been between the lower sub and up here. Currently 38/36 with a northeast breeze... Fire in the stove, a roast in the slow cooker...watching the leaves fall.
The tree is a black spruce. I actually planted 6 of them 2 summer's ago. The tip of the tree is 38" tall, so it'll take some snow to bury it all the way... we'll see!
I’m with ya. Not ready for the snow to stay, and I know it won’t yet but I make it a point to be ready by now anyway. I’d like some warm days still to enjoy before the snow sets in for the season and that’s not too far off for both of us.
