October 2020 Forecasts and Discussions

[Forrest Gump]

Just got back from manning Park from a little winter camping. The snow was still coming down when I left. I would estimate 15-20 cm. Wish my wife and my phones hadn't died so sadly, no pictures

All the more fun if you tented it, which is what my wife and I did up there in middle of Oct many years ago, actually it wasn't fun as we froze our buns off, never again,but it was sunny and fairly mild during the day,fishing was good at lightning lake as the trout congregated in a little bay close to rainbow bridge,one of my favourite places, the trail at the end of the lake is where I saw first and only porcupine, also saw a large moose nearby.

Wow,the wind has really picked up suddenly.
My north side thermometer reading 2° but 4.2° on the west side.

Currently 1.6 here and winds are still strong here.... temp is slowly dropping. Wondering if we will get our first frost tomorrow morning?

Did the outflow keep temps so far up that there was no frost in the Valley? We had a pretty heavy frost this morning in Vancouver at about 1C.

2.0C in YXX with 37% humidity and a NE wind gusting to 70kmh. It might be too dry for frost but there is a decent chance that things are already freezing up at ground level with those obs.

Outflow is actually increasing tonight. Gusting to 68 at both YXX and YYJ. I think this is a night time phenomenon. Maybe someone else knows but doesn’t the outflow sometimes become more shallow but stronger after the sun goes down?

0.5c so close

Wet bulb is certifiably below freezing... temp is down to 1.5C, so I think a freeze is not out of the question. No doubt there will be some impressive lows in sheltered areas.

It was down to 0.3 earlier but up to 1.9 now as the breeze comes and goes. If it stays clear we will probably see a solid freeze here tonight. The outflow wind almost always dies off here overnight at some point.

Current: +1.2
DP -9 (Is this October?)

It feels so cold outside. Winds have also picked up a bit more here.

[Typeing3]

[Weather101]

Officially the first time this year my ears and hands went really cold and numb.

Dewpoint -10..
That has to be close to some sort of October record ?
