At this stage I’m convinced it’s going to be colder next weekend. Exactly how much colder, I have no idea. I would rate snow a long-shot.

Re: October 2020 Forecasts and Discussions
I can't help thinking of the Nov 2, 2017 event... just not quite cold enough, mostly cold rain despite the outflow.

18z GFS takes away the Puget Sound snowstorm, but north Vancouver Island gets clobbered.

Can we not do an early cold snap? My tomato plant is still producing.

Re: October 2020 Forecasts and Discussions
As I recall there was 1-2 cm of wet snow, after about 25 mm of cold rain. I was just pointing it out because it felt like a perfect setup for a decent snowfall, but there's no such thing as a perfect setup this early in the season. It was also 8 days later than the event modelled for next week...
I'd call it a win if we just saw snow in the air next weekend. Getting sticking snow below 500 feet would be like winning the lottery.
