39F at home 1,100ft while it’s 52F at 1,900ft across the ridge.

Yeah these dry air masses with no vegetation left growing and leaves falling off trees… temps just swing up and down so easily. Lost 20 degrees in just over 90 minutes with the sun going down. 68F at 4:55pm to 48F at 6:35pm.

These are special days. Very hard freeze last night, lawn so white it looked like it snowed, with a low of 26F. Then pop a 70-burger this afternoon, driving around in shorts and a T-shirt with windows down. 44-degree swing from hard freeze to sliders and windows open. Even shorts weather up at 3,000ft right now.

Frosty cars when taking the dog out for her final walk. It seems like we will be getting a steady diet of radiational nights even if thicknesses are high. Large diurnal trends this time of year.

31F at 7pm on this ancient device. Time for a real one. Both local PWS also 31F though too.

2015-2016 last Super El Nino... run it back?

Yeah, ADK, Bretton Woods… just one of those things. Toll Road open to the summit, lol. I said no way that thing would open today, figuring an inch or so on road and we close it immediately once any frozen road surfaces. 20F up there and just rime ice. 32F base area.

Nice! We only had snow grains here and a bunch of rime ice up high. Mansfield snuck through with no snow.

Summits hitting freezing now, 43F here with gusty NW winds. Getting pretty good mixing down the eastern slope with CAA.

36F at 9:30pm. Getting to be that time of year.

That sounds great.

Trough looks more positive and progressive… really going to limit cold side moisture.

2.13” in Stratus from yesterday. 49F

Insane sounding for mid-October.

Absolutely ridiculous cold for midday on Saturday on some of these runs. 18z struggling to get to freezing.
