That storm also cut over WV to the lakes. So there’s that

this would be great for a winter storm track

This would be fun

You can find online videos of the Ohio State vs. Michigan game played during that storm, which was a full-on blizzard in Columbus. The teams were punting on first down. https://www.google.com/search?q=osu+michigan+1950&oq=osu+michigan+1950&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCjEwMjE2ajBqMTWoAgiwAgE&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:a7aac814,vid:S85War5TWRk,st:0

I'm thinking it's a 60 mph gust event

46 years ago tonight, October 9, 1979, Augusta received 9 inches of snow!!!!!!! Trees broke up like a cat. 2 hurricane from the weight of the snow on leaf covered limbs!!! 70 degrees the day before. 34.1 this morning, going to freezing tonight!!

Well 18z gfs certainly got wetter lol. Man this storm is all over the place.

18z gfs track is west of 12z slightly but drier overall. Basically a hold.

yeah, this fall is really reminding me of last fall so far. last year continues to be a pretty strong analog

The only place I'm turning on the heat before November in my house is the space heater in my bedroom. Chris do you have the lows for the NYC area and Long Island from this early freeze? I think we had snow squalls in the Poconos when this happened.

Records: Highs: EWR: 88 (2011) NYC: 86 (1916) LGA: 85 (2011) JFK: 87 (2011) Lows: EWR: 35 (1988) NYC: 37 (1988) LGA: 40 (1988) JFK: 35 (2001) Historical: 1703: Early-season snowstorm from Philadelphia to Boston. "The snow is now three to four inches deep... a sad face of winter" (Judge Samuel Sewall's diary) 1804: New England's Snow Hurricane of 1804 - - - At Norfolk, winds shifted from Force 3 southwest (on the Beaufort scale) to Force 6 northwest by 2 p.m.. A schooner Rising Stakes, off Cape Henry, went through the "dreadful squall" at 11 a.m.. The system passed through Chesapeake Bay, then inland between Philadelphia and Atlantic City before moving onward to New York City and Boston. Eight perished offshore. As it passed through the Northeast, it became a nontropical low as cold air rapidly enveloped the circulation of the cyclone. Snow fell from the hills of Connecticut northward into Canada. As much as 24 to 30 inches of snow fell in the Berkshires of Massachusetts...which in a wet snow could be approximated to six inches or more of liquid precipitation. This was the first reference to snow involved with a land falling tropical cyclone, but not the last as this happen again in the April th and 7th storm of 1889.(Ref. for Snow Hurricane of 1804)(Ref. AccWeather Weather History) 1804: The famous Snow Hurricane moved ashore near Atlantic City on this day. After briefly passing through Connecticut and into Massachusetts, cold air was entrained in the circulation with heavy snow falling between New York to southern Canada. Berkshires Massachusetts and Concord New Hampshire record two feet of snow with this hurricane. This storm produced the first observation of snow from a hurricane, but not the last. Hurricane Ginny of 1963 brought up to 18 inches (400 mm) of snow to portions of Maine. 1895: Snow fell in Philadelphia, PA, the earliest occurrence of snow in the city's history. (Ref. AccWeather Weather History) 1903 - New York City was deluged with 11.17 inches of rain 24 hours to establish a state record. Severe flooding occurred in the Passaic Valley of New Jersey where more than fifteen inches of rain was reported. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel) 1903: At Richmond, a "furious wind storm" descended upon the city the morning of the 9th, accompanied by a 20 degree fall in temperature. Trees were uprooted and communications were "disturbed" in the state capital. An elderly man in Leesburg drowned while trying to cross over Little River on a log. East Coast Storms 1924: Boston, Massachusetts started a period of 44 days without measurable precipitation today. (Ref. NOAA Boston Weather Events) wow so many extreme events on this date, was the 1903 flooding event a hurricane that took a Sandy like path? How much snow from the 1703 storm in our area Tony?

That’s crazy. The sensible weather even felt the same.

thats amazing with how historically hot 1936 was all across the country! didn't 2019 have single digit or even near 0 temperatures near Thanksgiving after hitting 95-96 in early October??

The entire winter was great. Everything was a jackpot.

We have yet to see another non-tropical system that matches the violence of November 1950. That really was a one of a kind setup as far as non-hurricane wind impacts go. Nothing else even comes close.

October 2009… definitely a harbinger of the following February. My father-in-law is supposed to fly in to BWI Sunday afternoon though.

Antibiotics, sanitation, vaccines, fertilizers, and genetically modified crops slowed down his business.

Its the long range rgem but its mostly a 95 east heavy rain event

We had snow showers in Tamaqua in May of 2020 so I suppose anything is possible. I never thought I'd ever see May snowflakes, but we did that year.

The Organic weather forecaster is back, this time with anal logs.

Remarkably similar 2 month period with some probably pretty important differences.

Is this what the Reaper is doing in retirement to earn a few extra bucks? A graveyard greeter...sort of like a Wallmart greeter!!! (You can welcome people by saying "Good Morgue-ning!!)

This could be a legit one. Barring a Friday/Saturday rug pull or it fails the day of the event. We can’t underestimate the “day of” fails, they’ve been happening a lot thaws last few winters.

Thank you for this, I was thinking exactly the same thing. This potential was showing up in much of the guidance going back to Sunday or Monday as I recall. And it was mentioned in discussions even at that time. I was a bit surprised that LWX was still being optimistic holding off any real mention of rain for awhile, but I guess they wanted to keep the then-longer range forecast consistent and the same until there was a better indication in the guidance. And they did actually allude to the uncertainty and possibility of a Nor'Easter type system for the latter part of this weekend.

How is 96L not named???
