Stunning sunrise over 1-2” of new snow at Loveland Pass, CO heading toward @Arapahoe_Basin for opening day! Incredible start to the CO ski season with over 2 feet of snow up here. Live for @accuweather this morning from the first lift #skiseason #openingday #cowx pic.twitter.com/lLrzROChUL

With the latest NOAA Winter Outlook just released, here's how their previous 3 winter precipitation outlooks have "verified". At least here on the West Coast they have pretty much missed the mark. pic.twitter.com/qKqdB53YGc

Need to watch the period from next weekend through 11/3 or so for potentially multiple storms systems to affect the SE/Eastern US. Possible a tropical wave in the Gulf gets entrained too. Way too complicated to pin down details, but 1 or more noreasters/coastal lows possible.

Been watching this pattern for a while -- tropical-infused winter storm potential for late October in eastern NA. Still a lot of uncertainty, but absolutely an interesting pattern to monitor.

The average temperature so far this month at Caribou of 44.0°F is 1.6°F below average. It makes it the coolest start to October (Oct. 1-18) since 2009. #mewx https://t.co/R0yEiTAYZ7 pic.twitter.com/kPD8H5Jw2D

Hey #NYC, Sunday's forecast high of 47F is more like what you would see in early December. Where is that air coming from? Here's the GFS 5-day back-trajectory for 100m/1500m/3000m for Sunday morning. pic.twitter.com/XSQZvxiD2h

Today, the view at approximately 6,000 feet above sea level shows some early color change. Fall colors have arrived somewhat later than average this year, likely related to the recent warm temperatures and large amounts of rainfall we have received. pic.twitter.com/NKSDT5DeoJ
