Euro is showing some persistent troughing in the East along with the GFS. This fits great with the indicies.

Bank it!

Down to 57 degrees and rain.

Just got home with heavy frost and a temp of 34 degrees.

Frosty morning in West Asheville with a temp of 36. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

The demise of Fall has been greatly exaggerated.

39 here this morning with a bit of a breeze. Coldest of the season.

Temp now down to 56..we've dropped about 10 degrees in an hour.

Front is here. Temp has dropped to 58 now.

Temp has been revised down to 34 tomorrow morning. I'd say we see some 20s this week fellas.

The wind is absolutely cranking with a temp of 62 and intermittent showers.

The gulf had more snow than you lol.

No I've just seen several posters in and around the forum say that this winter is looking bleak because of the ENSO, the record water temperature of the coast of China, and global warming.

So seems like we are canceling winter before it starts? Glad I don't have to wait on heartbreak later on but can just get it out of the way.

Yeah there are a ton of variables in the global atmosphere and a lot of things going on currently. I think ill wait and see how things evolve from mid October through the end of the year. I do know the sentiment about this winter is very negative.

Oh yeah I've read the board and it does seem very bleak. Maybe my blinders are on but im trying not to hard to complicate this winter. And after last winter with the crazy long cold stretch in January and the record breaking snow along the gulf that no one had predicted nor believed, im hedging on something as variable as that or could be near that. We are in different times using analog years and rolling things into the future in my opinion. We will see what happens but I'm still very positive on this winter around here.

Awesome man! Thanks for sharing.

Yeah I bet it was. The parkway is really showing off.

Awesome pics as usual. The colors really started to pop the last couple of days.

I think it's way to soon to be giving up on winter currently. The models cannot even get past 5 days correct let alone the next several months correct. We have a weak pv currently and the Eurasian snow cover is currently looking really good. I'm an optimist though this winter so we will see but I like our chances.

A backdoor cold front cleared out the atmospheric for the best radiational cooling.

Also to note the Eurasia SCE is looking really really good through mid month so far in October. From Mark Margavage meteorologist, Winter Feedback Mechanism An Extremely Prominent Dipole Pattern has developed in Eurasian Autumnal Snow Cover Extent as of October 15th. IF IT HOLDS, this pattern of Autumnal Eurasian SCE puts a lot of pressure on the Polar Vortex resulting in frequent wave reflections causing arctic outbreaks into Eastern North America during winter. Also the PV being weak is a great sign for this winter that is why we are seeing some impressive dips with the AO and NAO already. If things continue this would be a big positive for our Winter around here. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk
