I shouldn't read to much into this pattern in October, it rarely has

Aye, end of Oct early Nov is the time we normally get the first snow. But
regular, as in most years and not just a dusting, doesn't appear until
the second half of December. Most of November is pretty snow free. Odd
bits through January, a big dollop end of Feb then pettering out by
around mid march.
