Yes, like January 2016, Boxing Day, PD2, January 1996 and February 1983 the big ones usually take time for the precip to move in but once it does it goes hard and heavy for a long time.

to be fair, noreasters, like hurricanes, are usually graded on windspeeds and duration not rainfall or snowfall amounts. It's why October 1991 ranks so highly.

about 3 miles

it's not raining here Walt, but it's very windy.

a much better comparison might be a much reduced version of Halloween 1991 aka the Perfect Storm. Especially if this is much more about winds and not about rain. To be fair, Sandy was also more about winds rather than rain, but at least we got over an inch of rain with Sandy. With Halloween 1991 it was less than half an inch.

it's quite windy though and with the leaves rustling it sounds like it's raining

No it hasn't lol. To be fair, it was raining here Friday night and Saturday morning pretty heavily. So that's when the event begun. Then it stopped lol. I'm expecting the rain to start up again sometime after 2 pm lol.

The last time was Sandy that happened wasn't it?

How did Cape May get a 12+ foot surge, that furthest South red point on your map.

I think we were somewhere between 9-11 feet up here you might want to double check though I'm going by memory.

Yep, I think last year was only the second time I made it to November lol October 10th is a little early for me though.

I agree it just doesn't feel comfortable to walk on a cold floor either. It's wonderful in the summer though, just not now.

I was going to ask you if you saw the Northern Lights up there but I guess not with all that dust? Or is that something that only happens during the races with dust being kicked up?

Someone was asking about the star burst the other night during the super moon, it was the Draconids, they are unique because they peak at a very reasonable time in the early evening. The Draconid meteor shower in October 2025 is unfortunately not ideal for viewing due to the recent supermoon, which peaked around October 7th and created bright moonlight that washes out fainter meteors. The shower peaked on October 8th, but the extra-bright light from the full moon made it difficult to see many shooting stars, though some might still be visible, especially brighter ones. What to know about the Draconids and the supermoon Supermoon and Draconids overlapped: The Draconid meteor shower ran from October 6th to 10th, peaking on October 8th, the same week as the October full supermoon, which occurred on October 7th. Moonlight hinders viewing: Supermoons are brighter and appear larger than a typical full moon, and this extra brightness creates significant light pollution that makes it hard to see fainter meteors. Best time to look: The Draconids are unique because they are best viewed in the early evening, right after dusk, as their radiant point is high in the sky at that time. This is in contrast to most other meteor showers, which are best seen after midnight. What you can still see: While the bright moon made the shower less impressive, you may still have a chance to see the brighter, more dramatic meteors, especially if you find a location with minimal light pollution and look for meteors away from the moon's glare.

Same here, plus steam heat really makes my allergies act up. I prefer the space heater in my bedroom over the house heat being on as long as possible.

and with that said it's now bright and sunny here, so sunny that there's a glare....

Didn't we have hype like this for the April noreaster last Spring? I remember we were complaining about that too.

we'll definitely be doing it for frost advisories and freeze warnings at this rate

Lee Goldberg said we shouldn't blame the models because it's very difficult to make accurate predictions before the low forms.

I try to wait until it gets into the 30s here at night. Saving costs becomes penny wise dollar foolish when it goes subfreezing and can freeze your pipes.

Do you guys remember when you turned on your heat last year? It was November 13 for me last year.

Staten Island half marathon also canceled. The Road Runners Club said they canceled it because they were afraid for the safety of the runners.....

1-2 inches of rain is plenty we don't need more than that.

How about we limit how many States of Emergency can be declared per year so they are used much more sparingly?

I'm looking forward to that spectacular sunshine coming back starting Wednesday. I see it's going to be very cool, but my house is like a greenhouse, if there's a lot of sunshine it stays very warm during the day.
