Here's a look at the Surface pressure, thickness, and precip. The thick blue line is the rain/snow line. Nice to see it digging there.
As that swings across Canada, Pacific moisture comes on shore and meets up with the cold air.. See next image
Snowfall total from the latest Euro. Looks like snow to Southern Alberta then across to Manitoba weekend and next week..
And yet the Jamstec, Bastardi's favorite model, shows basically all of Canada above average for Dec, Jan and Feb, and all of the US below average. Interesting.
I've been in Barrow in August and seen snow... Here in Wasilla, Alaska we are still in the high 50's, low 60's during the day. At night it's dropping down in the low 40's, high 30's. Pretty common fall weather for Southcentral Alaska.

Wow, that means minimums fall below freezing in September?!? We hardly get that in winter here!

Hmm, not sure I understand how this is relating to my post. I was showing Euro for next weeks weather and you mentioned Jamstec Dec-Jan-Feb anomalies.

Nice! I wish I had those Highs/Lows.
Barrow definitely seen snow in August, in fact every month has seen snow. The fact that this was the 3rd biggest 1 day September snowfall was interesting. Also interesting to note is that September 2013 had the 6th most September snow total (8.1").
Fairbanks was above normal in August but below normal in July. Looks like a colder pattern to start September. Highs only in the 50s, lows in the 30s in Fairbanks. Well below normal.
I'd actually prefer Barrow in winter with snow cover regardless of how cold it was because otherwise it just looks horrendous without any greenery around.
We are overdue for a cold September here in the Prairies. In the last decade, the Septembers of 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013 were all well above normal. 2006 was slightly above. 2005 and 2007 were slightly below, and 2010 was well below.
September 2004 was even colder than Sept. 2010. I remember that the high did not cross 5 degrees C on Sept 11th that year. On the 30th, it snowed and temperatures plunged as low as -12 C on October 1st in some parts of Saskatchewan (low elevations too).
So overall, we've been pampered with nice Septembers but once in a while, Nature shows us how brutally short summers are in the Canadian Prairies.
