Lightest of dustings in west Asheville. Flurries and 30 currently

huh. pretty cool!

Actually a couple miles south of Waldorf.

Same. That shortwave is what has interested me. It has been strong on modeling for several days. We picked up a burst here on Knob Creek in JC which made the ground white a few mins ago.

Two-Day Winter

2in here and still moderate sugar falling. Last short cut of the grass paid off lol. Roads are covered so it got cold enough for sure. A bit surprised. Wasn't expecting this much this far S but hell, I'll take it. Have fun up there!

really? in Waldorf?

As of 7am this morning, O'Hare has picked up 1.6" of snow. Higher totals closer to the shoreline, but the big totals didn't materialize in and around the city proper. Evanston reported 3.5" this morning. Parts of Indiana have seen 6-12" with Touchdown Jesus covered in 6".

A short burst of sleet here for the past minute.

Yea, I remember going nuts looking at the forecasts for Jaffrey/New Ipswich that year lol

Rainfall total yesterday was 0.64". Last week at this time it seemed destined we would be in the 60s, perhaps 70s later this week. No more.

Low of 43 at 7:08. Thought I'd see the 30s.

its so bad that it even affects November

I would say between 2 and 3 inches here in Bellbrook this AM. The intensity between 7 and 8 AM this morning was awesome to say the least. Winding down now....but great start to the season.

That heavy blob really fell apart just as it was entering NYC

1.5" overnight. We'll see what today/tonight delivers. Nice to see the snow again.

Will honestly probably knows better than I do. Cheshire and Hillsborough counties were part of BOX back then.

Heading into WV. Snow had started near Monterey Virginia and temps dropped below 30

Records: Highs: EWR: 76 (2020) NYC: 74 (2020) LGA: 75 (2020) JFK: 72 (1999) Lows: EWR: 25 (2017) NYC: 25 (2017) LGA: 27 (2017) JFK: 25 (2017) Historical: 1835: The Great Lakes are plagued by frequent November storms that move across the area, augmented by the heat and moisture from the lakes, which are warm relative to the colder air. On this date, a Great Lakes storm struck with devastating effect. 19 ships were sunk and 254 sailors drowned. (Ref. AccWeather Weather History) 1911: A strong cold front dropped the temperature 68 degrees at Denver, CO from a high of 66° at 12:40 pm to 23° at midnight and -2° at 7:15 am the next morning. The low temperature of 23° at midnight was also the high temperature on the 11th. Winds gusted over 50 mph with the frontal passage. (Ref. November 10th Extreme Weather Day for Central US.) (Ref. Wilson Weather History) 1913: Severe windstorm on Lake Superior. Three ships lost. Winds were clocked at 62 mph at Duluth, MN. (Ref. AccWeather Weather History) 1915 - An unusually late season tornado struck the central Kansas town of Great Bend killing eleven persons along its 35 mile track. The tornado destroyed 160 homes in Great Bend killing 11 persons and causing a million dollars damage. Hundreds of dead ducks dropped from the sky northeast of the track's end. (The Weather Channel) 1972: (10th-22nd) Due to fog, hoarfrost accumulated 4-5 inches on power lines in MT’s Hill, Blaine, Phillips, and Valley Counties. Some power lines sagged to within 1 foot of the ground; approx. 60 power poles came down; power disrupted several days. (Ref. Weather Guide Calendar with Phenomenal Weather Events 2011 Accord Pub. 2010, USA) 1975 - Another freshwater fury hit the Great Lakes. A large ore carrier on Lake Superior, the Edmund Fitzgerald, sank near Crisp Point with the loss of its crew of 29 men. Eastern Upper Michigan and coastal Lower Michigan were hardest hit by the storm, which produced wind gusts to 71 at Sault Ste Marie MI, and gusts to 78 mph at Grand Rapids MI. Severe land and road erosion occurred along the Lake Michigan shoreline. A popular hit song by Gordon Lightfoot was inspired by the storm. (David Ludlum) 1975: The SS Edmund Fitzgerald sinks 17 miles northwest of Whitefish Point, at the northeastern tip of Michigan's Upper Peninsula on Lake Superior. While the sinking cause is unknown, strong winds and high waves likely played a significant role. The crew of 29 members was lost from this event. 1987 - A cold front brought snow to the Appalachian Region and freezing temperatures to the central U.S. Up to nine inches of snow blanketed Garrett County of extreme western Maryland. Freezing temperatures were reported as far south as El Paso TX and San Angelo TX. Gale force winds lashed the Middle Atlantic Coast and the coast of southern New England. Thunderstorms brought fire quenching rains to Alabama, and produced large hail and damaging winds to eastern North Carolina. Ahead of the cold front, seven cities in Florida and Georgia reported record high temperatures for the date as readings warmed into the 80s. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1988 - Strong winds circulating around a deep low pressure system in southeastern Ontario buffeted the northeastern U.S., with the Lower Great Lakes Region hardest hit.

Strong southerly winds gusted to 70 mph at Rattlesnake Ridge, near Hanford. Six rivers in western Washington State rose above flood stage between the 9th and the 11th of the month, following eight days of moderate to heavy rain. Rainfall over the western slopes of the Cascade Mountains between the 3rd and the 10th ranged from 14 to 24 inches. High freezing levels also caused the early snowpack to melt, adding to the runoff in the rain-swollen rivers. Damage was heaviest in Whatcom County, where the Nooksack River caused nearly six million dollars damage, mostly to roads and bridges. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1990: A strong F2 tornado touched down on Hatteras Island in North Carolina and winds gusted to 78 mph at the airport. (Ref. AccWeather Weather History) 1995: The afternoon high at Oklahoma City OK was a toasty 83 degrees, but by late evening, over an inch of snow lay on the ground.

(Ref. Wilson Weather History) 2002 - Severe thunderstorms developed ahead of a strong cold front and produced a widespread outbreak of severe weather including many tornadoes. The worst tornado damage was concentrated in Ohio, Tennessee and Alabama. A tornado rated as F-4 on the Fujita Scale struck Van Wert county in Ohio. In Tennessee, the community of Mossy Grove was nearly destroyed by a mile-wide tornado that claimed 12 lives (ENS). A major outbreak of severe weather and tornadoes occurred across the U.S. Tennessee and Ohio valley region on November 10-11, 2002, producing damage in 13 states. A total of 75 tornadoes touched down on Sunday 10th, resulting in at least 36 deaths (ENS). 2002: The second-largest November tornado outbreak on record over the eastern United States occurred during the Veterans Day weekend of November 9-11th, 2002. Seventy-six tornadoes were reported in seventeen states. Of the 76 tornadoes, almost one out of every six was a killer, resulting in 36 fatalities.

It’s kind of hit or miss depending on the year. If you’re only looking for 00-01 I’d just pick out a few stations and check for the Feb/Mar events and work from there. I know Salisbury up here had good data in that time range. I thought Massabesic Lake would be good, but when I just looked at March I notice they missed that 6-10” slop event that ended the month.

With the first snow around - somewhere - I guess it ignites the mood. *Cue eggplant emoji* We do still have a few more weeks of meteorological fall. For now, it seems most, if not all, of the models want to build a -NAO block towards the end of the month. First step is seeing if that verifies. Next step would be determining if it's relevant this early in the year and how long it could last.

My ~1.5" yesterday seems pretty paltry compared to these totals. Normally that much on Nov. 9th would be considered a win but not today. Congrats to those to the W/SW of me.

52 / 48 .39 in the bucket overnight. Cold Mon - Wed, below normal through The, then back to or slightly above normal towards mid month and beyond. GFS colder/stormer than the euro warmer less active.

I caught a piece of that into the office this morning. Nothing at the house, but about a mile east of the house it was ripping. Nice to put you in the "snow" mood. I was never impressed with the first part of this event, but really interested to see if the energy pulling through this evening can give a few "streak" surprises.

Great Dismal Swamp is the new snow capital of the U.S.. Who knew?
