My eyes can’t handle this. lol View attachment 50645
That’s why I am skeptical too. Earliest measurable snowfall in Oklahoma City was on October 26th all the way back in 1913. GFS and EURO show things happening right around that date. If we were in mid November I could start believing, but the truth of the matter is that today is October 18th.Nope not falling for it lol
Dallas has never measured snow in October
Cold model biases that don't allow them to handle the strength of the SER. This is all made worse by the very warm W Pacific. Going to dominate this winter. No changes there. Going to be fun!
I’m going all in on this ??18z GFS-Parallel 10/18
Nice snow in the Carolinas (h/t) to @BufordWX

I introduce to you, the best new model, the model that’s gonna dominate this winter, the best of the best, the KMA !!! GFS has already caved. Lolsouthernwx.com

Cold air sinks, so technically it's colder down here at the base of this cliff...I feel like this weekend was definitely a preview of winter, transient cold shot that isn't nearly as cold as originally advertised
OKC gets dry slotted. We toss.
Yeah some of the complainers have short memoriesI'm perfectly fine with the way things are. The last 2 years in mid October we flipped cold and stayed that way until December when the wheels fell off for the rest of winter. Maybe we can torch until December and flip cold for once? And maybe get a good 6 week stretch until mid Jan when the inevitable happens and the La Nina torch takes over.
That's the best we can hope for because things really don't look good at all. I don't have the years in front of me but every single moderate to strong La Nina that DIDN'T suck had blocking. 10-11 being one. If we have to depend on HL blocking the last decade says we're screwed.
