We're in October now, and average rainfall needs to be about an inch per week. The first week was .. whatever the opposite of a 'washout' might be. This weekend is expected to drop 1½" upon us though, so times are a-changing. October is definitely quick-change month around here, as highs in the 80s are replaced by those in the 50s - and no doubt the last week is the wettest on average anyway.
The peaks will be white - for a few days at least, and just on the highest points. Snow season is still a month or so away, so the 'termination dust' will not amount to much. October's moisture is usually more sourced from tropical remnants from the west Pacific more than polar/Arctic air invasions.
post-script
Well that was fun. We overperformed, receiving over two inches on Saturday and slightly more on Sunday, making a 48-hour total (8pm Friday to Sunday) of about 4½". Another inch could arrive in the next 48h, then cooler and clearing for a few days. Mostly that means fog, but it will be nice to get out for a bit!
