I've had mine out in some pretty rough weather, but I don't think I'd choose it if snow is in the forecast. I've had it out in light snow and it's done fine. I've had it in some pretty windy conditions as well, but there are definitely more bomber tents out there for "bad" weather.

I purchased a used Tarptent Stratospire Li last year and that's the shelter I'd probably grab for late October (in Montana anyways). Has more room, double walled, double vestibules and stands up to rougher weather better. Still pretty svelte at under 2 lbs.
