Pattern October '22

This is the old discussion/theory about pattern flips leading up to winter; which I usually bring up ha ha. I for one do not like seeing an eastern trough at the end of October into the first three weeks of November (no big Halloween storm, no South Carolina low country snow, no cold in general). I do like seeing this early/mid October cold. Hopefully we go into Indian Summer right before Halloween, and it stays relatively warm leading up to Thanksgiving. Afterwards, let it get cold for the first of December and maybe that sets the predominant pattern for winter. Don't have anything to back this up except for the many years I've seen the lead ups to winter. I can't count the times we've had a cold start in late October, and everybody gets excited thinking this is going to be a really cold winter. But I also can't count the number of times it stays warm all the way up to Thanksgiving and everybody screams winter is dead. And then we end up with a decent year (snow and cold wise).
I think most of us is just thrill to see a pattern change period.
 
Trees are confused here. Same type trees with some changing quite a bit and some still all green.

I’m seeing the same thing here. The trees typically change first like oak and maples are changing and changing quickly… meanwhile ones that typically take longer haven’t really shown any signs yet. Personally I would like to get leaves changed and off the trees quicker than the last few years… I would like to not still be blowing leaves the week of Thanksgiving
