OCTOBER PREVIEW2026 is flying by as we begin the final 3 months of the year! As we continue to lose daylight and the colder weather prepares to move in, here is a look at the average number for October.Our average high temperature will drop from 72° in the beginning of the month to 60° by Halloween. At night, we say goodbye to the 50s and drop to the low 40s.For precipitation, we usually receive about 3.81" of rainfall. October also begins our series of average snowfall totals. On average, we receive 0.2" of snow in October. Don't get too excited snow-lovers, the last time we had measurable snowfall in the month of October was on October 29, 2011 during the Halloween nor'easter. The average first measurable snowfall for a majority of the Susquehanna Valley isn't until around or after Thanksgiving.Below are the temperature and precipitation outlooks from the Climate Prediction Center. These maps show where the pattern favors above or below average temperatures & precipitation. Both maps give south central Pennsylvania an equal chance for either outcome, meaning the overall pattern doesn't lean one way or the other. Overall, a "typical" October is expected in both categories.

I think it's probably a good bet that winter will average out AN. Certainly warmer than last winter was, unfortunately.
Hopefully we can time up the southern jet stream with temps "just cold enough" to bury us in white gold at some point.
Also - we still have a hummingbird in our back yard!!!
That's what I'm afraid of lots of heavy wet snow this winter with borderline temps. Just wow you still have a hummingbird around, I didn't see one since the 24th of September here.

Let's see what actually transpires with this upcoming winter, since September was warmer than normal.

September featured warm and wet conditions across much of Central PA.
Above average warmth was largely driven by very mild nighttime temperatures.
Measurable rainfall was recorded on nearly half of the days in the month.

Today will be mostly cloudy with a few showers around this morning. Temperatures trend warmer as we head into the middle of the week, with some parts of Central PA expected to reach 80 degrees by Thursday.

Picked up another .40" today for a two day total (so far) of .93" Wind, of course, was insignificant in my backyard, with a peak gust of only 13.4 mph which occurred this morning. We had dinner last night at the Thunderhead Lodge on top of the Blue Mountain on 309 last night, and the wind was howling up there at 1,300 ft.
.18 rain yesterday, .06 so far today. Went to reading yesterday afternoon and it was miserable driving with that heavier rain and wind down that way.

36.7 this morning. Colder than yesterday.

I was wrong when I said I didn't see the hummingbird since last Friday. Just seen the female at the Petunia flower today @5:25pm.

38.5 chilly degrees this morning with a thick fog. I didn't think it would plunge into the 30's overnight.

Happy fall, pumpkin spice, chilly nights and lots of wind
Not the wind again! Yes we'll have 6-7 months of wind. To put up with.

Someone needs to start the fall thread. It is fall after all. Where are all our pumpkin spice lovers at?

I have not seen the female Humming bird since Friday. I presume she left. The males left about a month ago. I wish they stayed around longer.
