And we're off - first threat for a few mangled flakes

That event was crazy down here. We had around 2" on campus...was a freshman then, and a senior now. Imagine seeing accumulating snow in OCTOBER, TWICE, during my 4 years of college? lol

But a good point that NJWinter23 brought up to me in conversation was that in the October 28th, 2008 event, the trough became negatively tilted, and the surface low backed to the NW, so our winds were actually NNW during the deformation precip. Insane! This is a luxury we most likely will not have this time around. It's all about the dynamical cooling.

interesting....I dont think i tracked it and when i was at work that day, my co-workers crapped themselves......

how did that one in 79 look like? had to be cbb heaven.....

It really wasnt...good ML frontogenesis on an anafrontal storm. That stat also shows just how anaomalous the Oct 2008 bomb was in NW NJ and NE PA....it shattered their snowfall records for Oct.

Lets just say I would have not made it to work that day..Long Valley(500-600') had 8", the top of Schooleys Mtn (1000'+) had 12" and was shut down, Hackettstown in a valley on the other side of the Mtn had 4-5"...20" fell at Hunter Mtn and I believe somewhere in the Poconos as well....so if they did it at 1000' in nw NJ in 2008, it is completely fathomable that Worcester can do it too

If today's 0z suite pans out, I wouldn't be surprised to see Upton issue Winter Weather Advisories for the CWA, especially for the northwest suburbs. Moreover, the unusual fact that this storm would give accumulations to our area 50 days earlier than the onset of winter gives more credence to that idea. Does anyone know when was the earliest WWA issued for NYC proper?

This is a highly impressive threat for late October. I can't believe there's even a possibility of snow in coastal areas, but it seems the pattern is supportive in some ways of something like this actually happening. lol

Sucks I'm in upstate New York though, where I'll be missing this in the city if it were to happen, but I still have love for you all. The upstate thread is dead, so I'll be posting here for the time being, tracking with you guys.

All the guidance overnight has shifted west, now that we are about 2 days away from the event, the likelihood for a significant coastal storm is rapidly increasing. Rule of thumb, if the euro shows a storm 3 or 4 runs in a row, it usually isnt wrong even if there is a hiccup run here or there...

Ive learned that when the euro is consistently showing a storm for more than four runs i tend to believe it has the right idea, its accuracy is almost second to none although it does waver periodically. The fact the gfs is showing somewhat of the euro solution now goes to show you that i think. Like last few winters the euro has more times than not been the leader in overall accuracy with storms. So unless the euro has a sudden epic collapse theres no reason not to believe it at the least

Wow, just saw the Euro and GFS.

I checked again, and all the energy for this storm is onshore right now, and with the models more or less in agreement (QPF differences) I think we are getting close to our final solution. The storm track is not too close, which will compromise some QPF but allow cold air to work in because it is, again, October
