Story of my lifetime, prior to say, past 10 years

Those maps are truly unbelievable! It's likely the NWS offices will experience a lot of confusion regarding how to interpret them. HPC graphics are usually pretty reliable for basing warnings/advisories and general accumulations. The trouble is what they are showing seems almost impossible. I still believe the snowfall algorithms are not well suited to very early season storms. There's a lot of residual warmth in the bottom few hundred meters that might not be well accounted for in low resolution snowfall graphics.

It seems almost impossible because nothing like it has happened in recorded climate data in October.

My updated zone forecast: Though I'm not sure how one gets snow when it's mostly clear ;-)

.SATURDAY...A CHANCE OF LIGHT RAIN IN THE MORNING...THEN RAIN AND SNOW IN THE AFTERNOON. LITTLE OR NO SNOW ACCUMULATION. BREEZY WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 40S. NORTHEAST WINDS 15 TO 20 MPH. CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION 80 PERCENT.

.SATURDAY NIGHT...MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH SNOW IN THE EVENING...THEN MOSTLY CLEAR WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW AFTER MIDNIGHT. LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATION. BREEZY AND COLD WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 20S. NORTH WINDS 15 TO 20 MPH...BECOMING NORTHWEST AROUND 10 MPH AFTER MIDNIGHT. CHANCE OF SNOW 80 PERCENT.

Agreed. I live in NW Morris County (Oak Ridge) ele. 880. I have lived through a few situations here in October where the heavy snow comes down like a %^%$ for several hours but........................accumulation is very hard to come by, even at night, never mind the daylight hours.

We'll see. this type of scenario in the Poconos above say 1500-2000 feet, a different ballgame up that way.
