October snow doesnt sound too common for Minneapolis, at least past 20yrs. Excited to see if they get any friday.

While in Denver, snow in October is not uncommon, despite warmer averages than MLP

Fascinating to think even though elevation plays a role at the right timing. 869' vs 5381'. Good stuff. One always assumes Upper Midwest gets snow in October.


November obviously more common. November 1991 Minneapolis got 47" total. WTF>?! Normal is 9.3"




And I didn't know the Windows screen was an actual place in California. lol

This would be frustrating or Euphoria for me a setup like this in winter.


A Trough axis like this digging down south without me inside it would drive storms up the coast but within the tight gradient of cold and warm. Snow Galore or Frustrating Rains or Pissing Mixed Precip

I see the freezing line at 850mb has dropped down to Lat 35N today. Nice bleed down of cooler drier air for the south

Forecast low tonight is going to be lower than it was this morning. Being in that Light blue zone must by why

Even the islands along the coast will be dropping well into the 40s. Ocean temps off Georgia are still in the 70s I believe.

I see some frost on roofs, though not in grass.

Wunderground shows a 33 F low for your area Saturday night

If it were to hit 32 F, it could be one of your earliest freezes on record.

The high today in Plum so far has been 43°

The Laurel Highlands haven't gotten out of the 30s.

Edit: As of 1:41 PM, western PA has seen its first few snowflakes of the year!

Looks like parts of the central and southern plains states could see a hard freeze late this week and this weekend, meanwhile here in the Indianapolis area, we are under a frost advisory for late tonight through mid morning tomorrow, this should be the first widespread frost of the fall season, the local forecasts are calling for a rain/snow mix For Friday and Saturday, in Central Indiana in late October!!!
