Pattern Octoburn

There are 2.05 inches in the rain gauge here in overcrowded Wake County near Lake Wheeler. This combination one/two punch from the upper level low and the coastal low moving up the coast has put a damper on drought concerns for now. If this setup would happen three months later on the calendar, we would have a snowstorm to write home about.
 
As Predicted: Greensboro will finish October BN on temps for the 3rd consecutive month in a row. Also BN on qpf. Avg qpf is 2.90 and looks like the ole airport will check out with 1.56.

November will make the 4th month in a row of BN on temps when the turkey gets carved in 4 weeks. Bet the streak this winter.
 
I received 0.20” since last night bringing me to 2.75” MTD, which is only modestly below normal.
This is Thanksgiving weather come a month early. Day after day of drizzle and clouds mixed in with a gulf tap storm or two. Maybe we get a good ip/sn pattern before XMas day. Then the blizzard redux, lol. I love this time of year, when you can dream big, before climo swats you down.
 
A news article about the snow on Mount Mitchell:

 
Good riddance to an October with 18 days over 80 here

Yeah it kind of feels like Halloween today but 😬
My sister down in Orlando is also glad October is over. Different climate than you have, but it's been warm and humid many days of the month. Here's Orlando's five day forecast:

I dunno it's just been a weird month to me everyone is freaking out about this front and acting like it's something unusual I'm like guys November is tomorrow... We've had snow reported by now in a couple years. Like it's time to get moving with a simple average cold front 🤣 🤣 🤣 no I don't want Arctic air but like really

Oh and lots of 70s next week again let's see how warm we get

A lot of people know my opinion, we (I) don't want central/eastern US troughing in late October into mid-November. We want that to setup near(er) to Thanksgiving. I feel that signals the prominent winter pattern. And you always want to start off the meteorological winter season positive (cold). Good for the whole season averages...

Yeah I will say im seeing a lot of optimism about later in November. We will see

I figure most of the winter will be after Christmas at least here. It has been for years
