Meh... no accumulation. The real deal was west.

That event is the first photos my parents still have of me in snow. It looked like 8-12" in the pics near ALB with catastrophic tree damage. There are green trees and branches down all down the street. I'll have to get that photo online.

And to think that was almost a month earlier than Oct 2011 snows.

I know... hard to believe. There was nearly 6" in Newtown and 10" in the hills outside Danbury in Putnam Co NY and towns like New Milford and Sherman CT. Just sick.

Wasn't there an ak vortex at times during our epic stretch last year?

We did, but it was far enough west and oriented in such a way that we could pop the PNA positive. It's sort of trying to do that on the ensemble which is why I said it isn't a blowtorch pattern, but it is a mild one.

Its October, I think Toronto Blizzard is the offspring of Connecticut Blizzard

Nothing like a day long whiteout with winds as high as 68

They've had some sensor troubles as you can understand given the conditions, but if this current SPECI is valid then dayum.

SPECI KRCA 042319Z AUTO 34037G59KT M1/4SM R31/0800FT FZFG SQ VV002 00/00 A3001 RMK AO2 PK WND 34059/18 LTG DSNT SW-W

Looks like RAP died.

I'd be more skeptical if the wind direction wasn't with the prevailing direction. Usually they are some wonky direction or crazy high speed (like 100 knots).
