This is a total fallacy/misconception that I hope we can forget about by winter. Just because all of the global models show something similar at Day 7 does not mean it has an increased chance of happening.

I disagree, I think if the all the models are sniffing something out then there is definitely something on the horizon. Large pattern changes are brought upon by a big storm sometimes, models can sense pattern shifts in the medium ranges and nobody complains, why can't it mean the same thing for storm systems.

It's much harder to accurately forecast surface low pressure systems when compared to conditions aloft. That's why you see people looking at changes at 500mb when tracking a potential snowstorm.

If the Sun-Wed period is well below normal it could be enough to push us below for the month despite highs in the 70s Fri-Sat...though the lack of clear cool nights will probably mean we finish above by around a degree.

Looks like we'll be in mostly cloudy or wet conditions for the remainder of the month with the exception of Friday afternoon

starting next week a wide area of extended period of below normal temps forecasted

Blocking is saving CNJ northward from the torch, but believe me, it's hot as hell down here in Villanova PA right now. We had a high of 76F today, 72F right now. After the cooler days/nights this month, 70+ feels so warm.

So it is very much a torch from PHL area and even western NJ / Lehigh Valley southwestward. SW NJ temps are near 80 right now. Looks like a classic spring backdoor with eastern NJ NE in the low clouds and mist with temps in the 50s.

I hit 71 today...nice to still be working in shorts and short sleeves...I would think that october positive departures are much different and much warmer in Trenton/New Brunswick than NYC/

Whats ur plan after the storm? We are having a early falll, every leaf is going to fall....might just do storm clean-up/fall from here on out....going to be to many leaves to do a daily mow

We pretty much mow and take care of some of the leaves each time we go, some places we blow beds out every time, some we dont, it depends. Yeah pretty much now weekly cutting of everyone is over though and I would imagine we might not get back to work until Thursday with all the wetness, hopefully there are not too many limbs and branches to pick up but Im really dreaming there.

the leafs were dropping early this year and Sandy will take care of the rest, and I dont mind that, the earlier the better

I think the flooding broke the ASOS at LGA. They're 5 degrees warmer than the next station and this time there's no wind off the water excuse to explain their warmth.

Well, that's assuming the ASOS isn't STILL in the river. Based on some of the photos from LGA, it may be. The temperature directly over the water, if there is still water, could well be influencing the ASOS significantly. There didn't seem to be issues with it yesterday.

Yea I didn't think of that. They're a stone's throw away from the water. The temperatures throughout the tristate stations are pretty uniform also, with a range of only 2 or 3 degrees. Its not like we had an intense radiational cooling night. LGA just doesn't sound right.

if you believe the 12z GFS we'll be -5 for november by mid month...as well as several frozen threats especially for NW burbs. (needed to get my mind off the devastation from sandy)

The -NAO seems to mitigate any warmth that the -PNA is trying to pull into the eastern part of the United States on the 12z GFS towards the long range. Blocking into November is a very good sign going into the winter season.
