A look at our backwards October – November weather

Mother Nature seemed a bit mixed up at the start of the month, but eventually figured it out

Just how does snow form?

There are a number of interesting things that happen with low-temperature precipitation

By Daniel Bezte October 31, 2018

With an October that felt more like November and the type of questions I had to answer this past couple of weeks, I thought it might be a good time to revisit the topic of snow. It’s time we went back to weather school to look at the process that creates precipitation in cold clouds,

Forecast: Stuck in a cold unsettled pattern

Issued October 1, 2018: Covering the period from October 3 to October 10

By Daniel Bezte October 4, 2018

All the ingredients for our first measurable snowfall of the season were in place during last week’s forecast period, they just didn’t come together at the same time. While some areas did see some snowflakes, and there may have been a few locations near the lakes that saw a little bit of accumulation, overall, we
