Most of the rain showers ended just in time Friday for trick-or-treating, although temperatures were in the 40s. But who paid attention to that? Saturday continued the brief drying trend, with some filtered sunshine after the morning fog and low clouds.
We had the coldest temperatures we’ve seen in a long while Saturday. Felt like late autumn, yes? More rain is likely later today and will continue through Wednesday before the main storm tracks shift temporarily away from our region.
By the time the cold air arrived Friday, the moisture also stopped, so the mountains received little if any snowfall. The moisture this week will fall as snow, just way above the passes and maybe even above Timberline. Too many warm fronts in the mix.
October goes into the record books as another warm month, following August and September. And how about that rainfall? Impressive. Vancouver sent 6.03 inches of measured rainfall into the October 2014 record books. That was 2.96 inches above average. So much for an initial call for a dry month. At least it was warm, with an average mean temperature of 59 degrees. 5.2 degrees above average. We also has a couple record daily rainfalls.
