Pattern Discussion 
October started off with a small storm that rolled thru on the 3rd, after that, not much until now.

Below is an animation from the end of September until now.  After the first storm on Oct 3rd, there was a prolonged dry stretch lasting around 20 days.

No need to panic.  The pattern systems remained up in Canada, along with the jet stream that had not fully dropped until now.

Enjoy today, below are some snow stake cams and the updated snow test chart.  We are right on track with the storms verifying on time or a day late.  This fares well for releasing our first set of long-range forecast by November 1st.
