on to December..

We still have a week to go in November.. but the forecast now shows 'interesting' weather coming!

Too soon to determine anything with certainty. Forecast ensembles show a ±8 degree temperature range at 5000' elevation - so definitely snow, or not snow, or perhaps a mix with rain - are all in play! At least they mostly agree it will be damp enough to worry about whether that dampness is solid or liquid..

November will get perhaps another ½-1" of rain first, so we could reach 80% of normal.  So we'll head into December about four inches down in the bucket from Oct+Nov. 

The leaves are nearly down now, so at least branches will be less at risk if snow does fall. And the blackberry brambles will wait for 2023 for their comeuppance.
