Early and very deep snow reported in the Italian Alps -
The Ice Age Cometh! Forget Global Warming!

- Start date
In the lower parts of the interior of BC the thermometer decided to announce its winter drop over the last few days. Snow has been building at higher elevations, and now steadily inching its way down slope. Frost this morning followed by light snow - cold winds. Tomorrow is to be colder, so stripped the greenhouse and covered some flowers with hope, which will likely not 'show' again. The little chart on my phone shows - 3 c in the am tomorrow, and by Sunday it comes in at lovely -13 c, with snow (great 
). Halloween is weeks away, so will have to see if the weather become more entrenched or it eases off for a charitable late October and early November (there is more to do outside before the crunch of winter).
Seems just the other week it was wildfires and dry furnace heat; all forgotten now.

U.S. Winter Outlook: Cooler North, warmer South with ongoing La Nina
October 15, 2020 Weather Climate climate outlooks winter Snip
Persistent drought dominates the Western landscape
NOAA’s winter forecast for the U.S. favors warmer, drier conditions across the southern tier of the U.S., and cooler, wetter conditions in the North, thanks in part to an ongoing La Nina. Forecasters at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center — a division of the National Weather Service — are also closely monitoring persistent drought during the winter months ahead, with more than 45% of the continental U.S. now experiencing drought.
"NOAA's timely and accurate seasonal outlooks and short-term forecasts are the result of improved satellite observations, more detailed computer forecast modeling, and expanding supercomputing capacity," said Neil Jacobs, Ph.D., acting NOAA administrator. "From expansive and multi-hazard winter storms to narrow but intense lake effect snow, NOAA will provide the necessary information to keep communities safe."

I've took this photo two days ago while flying from Frankfurt to Zagreb, over the Austrian Alps. Seems quite extensive snow cover for this time of year.
Here's an interesting take on the latest snowy October situation developing in Canada by a local meteorologist -
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Get your shovelling practice in': Southern Manitoba snow dump could be here to stay
Unseasonably cold temperatures mean October melt might not be forthcoming, Environment Canada says
Winnipeggers awoke Wednesday morning to snow blanketing rooftops and roads, and unseasonably cold weather means the white stuff might not be going away before spring.
"Unfortunately, with five or six centimetres and with our below-normal temperatures looking like it's going to continue at least until Halloween, it's probably a pretty good bet that the snow is going to stick around here," said Chris Stammers, a meteorologist with Environment Canada.
"Get your shovelling practice in."
Many Winnipeg roads and Manitoba highways were covered in ice and snow ahead of rush hour, the provincial highway conditions map said.
A crash closed Highway 1 at the Portage la Prairie bypass, between Highway 240 and Angle Road, but it reopened around 9:30 a.m. A semi-trailer truck was seen being pulled from a ditch in the area.
There were five to eight centimetres of snow in Winnipeg, and six to eight centimetres from the Dauphin area south to the U.S.-Canada border.
It's normal to get snow in October, but it often melts away. Stammers recalled that when Winnipeg got walloped with over 30 centimetres during a Thanksgiving weekend snowstorm last year, it disappeared before winter later set in.
With temperatures around 10 C below normal for this time of year, he isn't confident Winnipeg will be snow-free again in 2020.
"When the temperatures are that far below normal at this time of year, any snowfall is probably going to stick," he said. "That part of it is unprecedented, but the fact that we're getting snow in October is not really."
There is a chance of more snow on Thursday, Stammers said.

On October 20, a thunderstorm passed in Crete (Greece), accompanied by heavy rain and hail - snowdrifts appeared on the roads and streets.
The main blow of the elements fell on Heraklion, Chania and Malia - the inhabitants of these cities woke up in the middle of the night due to the noise of the rain. Greek media showed footage of the main highway on the island, covered in white snowdrifts from hail, and workers shoveling rainfall from the streets of the coastal town of Malia.
In addition, 3745 lightning strikes on the island of Crete and around it, of which 337 were on land and 3409 were at sea.

Βομβαρδισμένο από το χαλάζι τοπίο τα Μάλια - Oλική καταστροφή σε θερμοκήπια! (φωτο)
Η ισχυρή χαλαζόπτωση που έπληξε την περιοχή των Μαλίων προκάλεσε μεγάλες καταστροφές σε θερμοκήπια ενώ οι δρόμοι θυμίζουν εικόνες από ορεινή περιοχή.
From the Washington Post.
* It was the first time that the National Weather Service in either Norman or Tulsa had issued an ice storm warning during the month of October, and the pre-Halloween glaze was the worst ice storm to strike at any time of year in at least five years.
* Oklahoma City Memorial and Oklahoma Forestry Services crews were scrambling to save the "Survivor Tree," an American elm at the Oklahoma City National Memorial. The monument honors the 168 people who lost their lives at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in a terrorist bombing on April 19, 1995.
* The time of year, when trees are still fully-leafed and vegetation is somewhat verdant, means the ice event is even more disruptive, since there is greater surface area on trees where ice can accrete. That allows more weight to build up, making it easier for limbs and branches to collapse.
* The cause of the ice storm is a narrow layer of cold air at the surface below a mile in altitude. At 7,800 feet, it was nearly 47 degrees Tuesday morning over Oklahoma City, yet temperatures at ground level have remained below freezing since midmorning Monday. That permits liquidwater to fall and hit the ground, quickly freezing on contact.
Rare October ice storm hits Oklahoma, knocks out power to 300,000

This citations are basicially just an intro to the article, there is a lot more. Basicially this could cause harsh winters in Europe and North America, and as I've read from an article from my country that broadcasted this, it says that this is causing temperatures 20 °C (68 F) below average in some parts of the U.S.

The invasion of the Canadian cold has turned the head of the American winter. Without waiting for November, she bound a huge territory in the middle of the United States with ice and frost. For example, in Denver, the temperature dropped to -15. Although a week ago in the capital of Colorado it was +25.
It's hard to believe, but at the end of October, the states with subtropical climates were hit by 20-degree frosts! In the town of Pueblo, Colorado, the thermometer showed −22.2. Frosts similar in strength were noted in Nebraska, Wyoming, Idaho and Utah. The small town of Craig in Moffat County, Colorado, where the temperature was -25.6 in the early morning of October 28, became the "pole of cold" of the United States these autumn days.

Hurricane Zeta hits Yucatan and moves towards Louisiana
Hurricane Zeta entered the territory of the Yucatan Peninsula, known all over the world for its resorts. The weather system is located northwest of the city of Tulum and moves northwestward at a speed of about 22 km / h. The wind speed reaches 112 km / h.
In the north and north-east of the peninsula, there are showers, strong gusts of wind blowing away roofs and trees, a storm warning has been announced. Waves in coastal areas reach 7 meters in height. Already today, Zeta will enter the Gulf of Mexico, moving towards the south of the United States. Tomorrow the weather system will enter the United States near the border of Louisiana and Mississippi.
Louisiana Governor John Bel Edward has declared an emergency in the state. He urged residents to prepare for the disaster, paying particular attention to the correct handling of generators. The disaster is expected to have the greatest impact on Louisiana on October 28 and 29.

PS We see that almost SIMULTANEOUSLY two forces hit the US territory, a cold from the north and a hurricane coming from the south. This is a bit like The Day After Tomorrow. I wonder what will happen on the planet this winter?

Wow indeed a magnificent sight and you are right, it is quite extensive for this time of the year as official snowfall stats aren’t usually reported this early into the season, but numbers of up to 20cm (8 inches) were widely registered across the Austrian and Italian peaks, with some areas saying they had received 80+cm (nearing 3 feet) by Tuesday morning. In total, around 25 ski areas are already open in the Alps and Scandinavia, and the first ski areas have also opened in U.S. and Canada where recent vast accumulations of record-smashing snow has helped drive the Northern Hemisphere Total Snow Mass to a staggering 300 gigatons above the 1982-2012 average.

The capital of Libya, Tripoli has been hit by an unprecedented severe supercell storm on Tuesday, Oct 27th, 2020. The storm produced exceptionally large, *giant* hail, possibly more than 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter. The first reports indicate that hailstones could be one of the largest ever recorded on Earth!
Such hail size would definitely fit into the world's Top 3 giant hailstone events reported globally. Besides the Vivian (south Dakota) hailstorm from 2010 and the so-called 'gargantuan' hailstorm in Argentina in 2018.
