Cold, blustery, and snowing right now. Typical "popcorn" snow showers with temps in the mid-30's riding the NW flow. Supposed to make it into the low 40's today, and if it does, would only be for a brief time this afternoon. Looks nice by the weekend with highs around 50.

Here's the maps of the storm. 48 hrs of serious whoop ass. lol!

Very much so. Fresh out of the Army that summer, and partied a lot. Partied hard during that storm. Ran out of whiskey, and beer, and was stuck at home with no way to get more. That deer season was tough getting around the woods, too.

Good call. Starting to feel a little more like winter around here in the north.

Very blah weather last few days. Seasonable, cloudy with a few sprinkles here and there. Geese moving hard, too. After a mild start to Fall, reality has finally set in. Onward to an active, and at times, bitter Winter.

06z GFS showing pattern I'm looking for on Veteran's Day.

Halloween pattern on track. Few days to go.

Typical mid-Oct day, cold, and windy. Grandsons have their last junior high football game this afternoon. Hits will hurt a little more with the chill. And they will learn the crotch, hand warming technique. LOL

06Z GFs showing the pattern I see during this time frame. Lets see if it works out.

Close call.

1.2" of rain at the arpt. Warned cell just clipped the airport giving more rain than town. 0.6" here in town. Doing well with the rain this Fall. Chilly out today with temps near normal in the upper 50's. Looks like seasonable weather for the upcoming week.

Svr watch this evening. Had a warned cell. Since Fri have had 1.2" of rain. Very Sept like the past few days.

Here's how the stations ranked last month. Some still out, while some with (M) still in the middle of processing. Pretty warm Sept. Generally above avg to well above avg with some near record/record readings. A couple top 20 cool min readings are in there too. Localized effects. Number of unique max temp readings per station avg in the low 80's, and min readings avg in the mid 70's so you can see about where they lie in the ranking. Also included prelim anomaly chart, which I switched to a 1901-2000 baseline.

Cool, overcast with mist today. Very fallish. Geese have been moving the last couple weeks very slowly, but steadily. Weather has been good for them, so no need to move hard. Eat, crap everywhere, and move on.

0.39" here in town (0.79" arpt) of much needed rain yesterday. Warm, muggy day yesterday to a cool, cloudy day today with heavy fog possible tonight.

Not a drop of rain with the scattered weather around here. Maybe later tonight. Since weather is so warm, might be a good time to pull this out so everyone can see how hot it has been in the past. Definitely teasing, if not breaking, some of these coming up.

Cold with CA fronts. Nothing major, except LES, it looks like to me. The holiday week in general looks rather chilly, with some storm/snow chances.

Ok, here's my Christmas forecast. Front moving through with an area of low pressure from the west possibly running ahead, or along the boundary. The other scenario is the low hangs back, or gets shunted south. But frontal activity will moving through the Christmas holiday.

Well, lets see if this long range GFS pattern ends up being what I'm seeing for this time frame.

As the rain came in there, temps went from mid 50's to mid 40's. Here in TH, the rain was ending and temps went up to around 60 as the sun peaked out for a while. That light rain sure cooled us down for a bit.

Temps in the upper 50's this morning cooled to the upper 40's with the rain. Got around 0.1" and temps are now back into the low 50's this aftrn. Cold out today.

Picked up 0.81" of rain (0.76" arpt) bringing us just above normal for the month. More Canadian geese on the move recently, but nothing big. Small flocks moving around. Canadian weather not bad enough yet to get them moving hard.

Looking to get some good soaking rains here soon. Very muggy out today. as was last night. Rains across MN are putting a dent in the deficits from earlier this year.

Thanksgiving forecast. Wet(some mix/snow) weather moving through Thanksgiving day into Black Friday.

First frost potential coming up tomorrow morning. Running a little late, but we had some back in July too.
