Newark's all time record snow in October is 0.3"

It would be fun to compile a list of records and identify which is the most and least likely to fall.

I think Newark has a >50% of breaking the record. Easy to break in theory but it's also easy to imagine scenarios where Newark sees no snow accumulation at all.

Not much but be careful what you wish for. 1972-3 and 1979-80 were not exactly stellar winters.

10/31/93 there was a system like this that tracked more inland and dropped heavy snow in central NY, that winter turned out well...it just so happens that more of the times snow reached NYC itself the winters did not turn out so well, but there have been many instances of October snow 50-75 miles inland where the ensuing winters were snowy.

Yea, just coincidental.

Who cares about the date. If the right dynamics are in place, we can see accumulating snow.

and why in the past 120+ years have the "right" dynamics never occurred in October....will it snowflake? possibly/probably...will there be multiple inches? NO WAY...Better chance of the Jets winning the super bowl

You seem confident about your prediction. Lets see what the Euro shows. We still have all day tomorrow to pan this storm out. Who knows, the models might shift more tomorrow.

Nick Gregory goes with zero snow accumulation for NYC.

Probably right... climo's a b*tch.

Not to be a Debbie Downer here, but 38 and rain is much more likely than 32 and snow, at least for the city and LI. Just because it's close doesn't mean it will slide a few degrees colder. We're pretty much at the limit of what we can realistically expect for late October.

I do hope I'm wrong, though. :)
