Flurries here in October are almost 50/50...so it is indeed pretty "meh"....but measurable would be fairly exciting since that happens about 1 out of 5 years here...and certainly fow the valleys and CP, its quite a bit rarer.

Though I would say any flakes before Oct 15 is very rare. Most of the October snow (trace or measurable) happens in the 2nd half of the month for obvious reasons.

Yeah flakes are meh and they are probably more frequent than statistics show since sometimes you have flurries that occur that don't even get recorded as a trace.

But yeah as you meantioned measurable is much more interesting... happening very rarely below 500 feet.

Yeah I'm sure there's been some traces that never got recorded...so the odds might be slightly more than the numbers say.

Measurable is always more interesting. Its nice seeing the first flurries of the year, but the novelty wears off after about 10 minutes, lol....even for someone like me who loves snow. Its way more exciting seeing the first snow that covers the landscape versus a few stray flakes at 36F.

Any op model at hr 240 is bong worthy. I don't care what model it is.

The ensembles don't have as crazy of a cold push. It may be because ensembles tend to smooth out extremes, but it does have the cold idea and is pretty chilly looking overall.

Edit: the EC ensembles aren't too far off from the op.

i saw the "s" word in a few AFDS out west this afternoon...

FYP

lol, i love it.

Speaking of which... it looks like we're going to be chilly tonight. BTV is banking on increasing clouds keeping temps up, but after a high of 57F its already down to 52F and we should be in the 40s before it gets dark.

I love these fall mornings... here's this morning with some ground fog and alpenglow on the foothills of the Spine.

The foliage is just loving this dry sunny weather and cool nights.

October snows, while cool, are fleeting.

I don't think I saw any in 2010 (have to check). But 2009 I had 2 accumulating snowfalls in Oct and 2011...well...

2009

what my personal wishes are this year, and they are just wishes, 1) We get accumulating snow in Oct and then a good winter so we can dispel that myth 2) we get below normal consecutive months to calm them waters 3) We get a wintry March. Thank you.

Give me #2 and 3

I don't really care much about the Oct thing other than the pseudo novelty

And again, my only contention is that for ORH, 7.0"+ of snow in October is a bad sign.... huge sample size

...ok, 2 times ;)
