Low of 40 with wind last night. Tonight should be 38-39 at worst

Time to upgrade from the flip phone

Up in the Adirondacks right now. Closing our summer homes for the winter this week on Twitchell lake about 30 minutes from Old Forge. Down to 31 this morning.

No. Light/moderate snow shower on Whiteface summit area only. No accum. .

41 on my station this morning

Chris, you're wrong. December 1992 did exactly what I am saying...it buried most of SNE. I was in a suburb N of Boston and had 20"....Boston had like 9", as did much of N RI. The southern third of the region would have had issues, sure. I said MUCH of SNE...NOT ALL. You are saying "antecedent warmth"....which inherently implies a dearth of +PP to the north. If there is a high in place, it will take time to dislodge that cold a stone's throw from the shore.

Bottomed out at 45 here in NW Philly, coldest low since May 8 IMBY. That will definitely start triggering plants and trees to start doing stuff. Got up to 70 as a high yesterday after a 51 low and it's currently 54 with dp 43. My tropicals don't like consistent night temps below the mid-50s so I usually start bringing them in to overwinter Columbus Day weekend, which is coming up. Looking forward to the Sixers this year, apparently the only Philly team winning (without stressing us out) and even just did so against last year's champs without our big 3. C

Hello, everyone. The low temperature reached 32°F at Zelienople Municipal Airport.

I’d have to disagree with that statement for my area…have had at least a few mornings in the upper 40’s the last week plus. Today being the coolest so far, (until tomorrow of course), on the truck temp at 8:15, which was 45. This past Saturday night was very cool and autumn like as well.

During the winter the antecedent warmth with a seasonally stronger STJ than the fall would prevent much snow from getting south of Central and Northern New England with a loop in from the East. We saw tracks like this but even further south during the January 1992 Nor’easter which got pulled in from the east and also. Plus December 1992 came in closer to the Delmarva and you had to be pretty far north to cash in on that one.

Now, if you want to argue that there won't be any cold, that is a different issue....but you time that track with a polar high, and there would be a major snowfall across much of Mass/CT/RI. Is the capture that far south and tug back to NJ ideal? No, but I'm not claiming it would have been 2/6/1978...nonetheless, it would have been a major winter storm.

Way out there but euro ai has had a number of runs recently that spin up a big storm in the D11-13 range and brings in cold air behind it. Probably would be first freeze chance for IAD and NW burbs if something like that happens.

Silvia Christen with the South Dakota Stockgrowers Association says she has talked to ranchers who have lost 20% to 50% of their cattle." "'This is absolutely, totally devastating,' said Steve Schell, a 52-year-old rancher from Caputa. 'This is horrendous. I mean the death loss of these cows ... is unbelievable.'

He was still struggling to find snow-buried cattle and those that had been pushed miles by winds that gusted at 70 miles per hour on Friday night.

52 / 38 off a low of 40. Coolest day of the next 7-10 with highs in the low - mid 60s and lows dropping even lower tonight 30s in the coolest inland areas and 40s into the coast/city. Moderates a bit Wed before Thursdy is the warmest of the next 7-10 days mid 70s to perhaps 80 in the warmest inland NJ. 10/6 - 10/7 : Cooler than normal first 40s possible city 10/8 - 10/13 : Overall warmer : rain 10/11-10/12 10/14 - beyond : near - above normal

It’s been pretty breezy here all morning since I first went to let the chooks out. 43° and SCT skies. Not sure we hit 55° here today. We tend to drop 25F on rad nights so I start worrying about freezes imby with highs 55-57°. So the potted plants will have to come in tonight.

overnight low of 40. it took longer than usual this year.

Need shoulder strength to use your thumbs? Lol

Heat kicked on

was 40F around 6:30am

Nope.....much of SNE would have been buried on that track....it got captured and backed into the Jersey shore before drifting up to the cape post-occlusion. Your portrayal is disingenuous and makes it sound as though it barreled over the Jersey shore and straight into CT or RI.

Only took until now for the wind to start gassing again.

Only for Northern New England since it tracked directly into the Jersey shore.

Storm track of the nor'easter last week was nice.

Yesterday had a nice fall feel to it.. in person was so much better.. my phone usually doesnt take great pics!
