Still interesting to note that both Gfs and cmc still try and keep building that west coast ridge even as that system moves out which with the blocking still apparent above keeps cool shots directed at usIf we can draw the energy down that's around the northern border and we can get really chilly to start November View attachment 93267
Unfortunately the gfs and euro flatten and expand the ridge to our west so we miss out
This is the type of pattern that I could see setting up for the first half of winter. Will there be some mild days? Yes, but as we get further along there will be some cold spells in there too. We need to see some snow cover start to build over northern Canada in the next several weeks… it should start to happen as they are losing daylight very quickly now.Still interesting to note that both Gfs and cmc still try and keep building that west coast ridge even as that system moves out which with the blocking still apparent above keeps cool shots directed at us View attachment 93269View attachment 93270
May. Want take pic of that graph … may be only time winter see little stretch of below norm temps .
I think a chilly November would be excellent.I dont think it's good to see it get colder in November because it is not a winter month. I mentioned previously that outside of higher elevations, it will be rather difficult to see it snow/ice unless it's a very anomalous pattern. Would rather wait until mid-end November to lock a cold pattern in for a while
November 2010, a LaNina, was overall a cooler than average month for many of us and set the stage for a well below average first half of winter… now I don’t think we’ll see a well below average first half of winter, but a cooler than average November doesn’t necessarily mean winter is cut off there afterI dont think it's good to see it get colder in November because it is not a winter month.

We all know whatever happens in October or November doesn’t correlate to what we should expect for the winter months it’s just an added bonusI dont think it's good to see it get colder in November because it is not a winter month.

If it wasn't a 2nd year niña, I would be more excited. Each winter is different when push comes to shove, but a trough out west if it repeats often this winter, would require tremendous blocking to offset it imoNovember 2010, a LaNina, was overall a cooler than average month for many of us and set the stage for a well below average first half of winter… now I don’t think we’ll see a well below average first half of winter, but a cooler than average November doesn’t necessarily mean winter is cut off there after
