Sugarloaf1989 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 4 hours ago, MetHerb said: Was that written 8 years ago? The tornado was 10/3/1979 which would be 38 years ago. On another note, 30 years ago on 10/4/1987 many portions of the area saw one of their earliest snowfalls. I know western areas, particularly around Albany and higher elevations west of the CT River got hit hard. I had a rain/snow mix without any accumulations. What was interesting about that was that there was a late snow on 4/28 that year giving a really short window between last and first snowfalls. I'm surprised there hasn't been more mention of that anniversary. I lived in NYC at that time, but it's also Snowed on 11/11/87. I believe it snowed down to DC as well.

The 80s in to the early 90s had some lousy winters but did have some interesting storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in science class when the sky became so dark and green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Wearing shorts to work was a mistake. We just hit 60F at the office. With the breeze it feels crisp. 0.34" of rain last night, though just missed the good storms. JSpin had almost 1.0" several miles to the south.

This is fantastic weather...though today was a little cooler than I expected but still the pattern has above normal appeal. I'd rather it be up in the 70s to near 80F right now...keep being able to wear shorts and a t-shirt deep into October. Nights are longer now, cools off quickly. Don't want to pay for heat this time of year, so this is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
