It was a huge deal at the time. It started getting hyped 5 days in advance. Something unheard of then. 10-12" was something we hadn't seen in 6+ years. I worked at a supermarket at the time and it was an absolute madhouse the night before.

If it didn't take a track right over us we would have had double the snowfall but it was still a huge deal. Didn't go back to school until the following Wednesday due to the flash freeze 

I worked at a grocery store at the time as well, absolutely insane, record sales for the time. The cops had to get called around 2am Saturday morning as two guys get into a fistfight over what was the last of an item, bread I believe. I drove home early Saturday afternoon in raging blizzard conditions, I couldn’t tell what color the traffic lights were until already into the intersection, fortunately there were few out at that time. I had my mothers Chevy Corsica (front wheel drive) that day which was great in the snow, going right through our unplowed street, snow coming up onto and across the hood (the Corsica had a low profile up front).  My rear wheel drive Regal would’ve never made it as I used to fish-tale on rainy days in that car LOL.

Thats IrishRob after 3 Heady toppers and a taco bell run.

I found out about an hour ago that apparently Texas bbq has a similar effect…

We’re down in Grapevine,TX for the weekend visiting our son and his fiancé. Grapevine happens to be the Christmas Capital of Texas, while walking down Main Street last night it felt like a cross between an episode of The Great Christmas Light Fight and a Lifetime movie but I digress. It was 61/59, so a bit humid and while walking into a bar I heard a guy tell his wife, who happened to be sitting outside, that she should get her jacket or she might freeze…um wait, wut?  Even the kids are saying it feels like winter is here now, it’s currently 54/43,  told them that they are getting soft.

MVA's?

A home heating oil truck rolled for sure near Monticello, with a spill involved.

Had some flurries about an hour ago, looks like some more heading it this area.

Quite the challenge between all dry global models and scattered dustings of the mesoscale models for NYC metro (HRRR, RAP).  20F TD/T spread will dry out the potential for a flurry.  I'll just go for a flurry NYC metro. Babysitting. Not monitoring AM WX.

Hoping this holds up as it continues to moves southeast 

.87 last night, gets me to 2.13 for the month, this month will break the streak of five straight months of above normal precipitation (October was only .01 above though).

Yep lets use the op. Patience is required.

 

Plus it’s only November?

the record low at port jervis is 11

Yeah, low of 21 here, not exactly a November of yore despite the yarn being spun by some but the month has been below the all time highest averages we've seen so we have that going for us...

I am glad you missed it. A few years ago, the population here was out of control. A period of bow hunting reduced the population to manageable levels.

Above did a number on the herds around here for a couple years but numbers are bouncing back IMBY.  Inadvertently got between this guy (not a high quality photo)and six or so does in the yard a couple weeks ago. He wasn’t happy so I decided it was best to head inside as I was clearly disturbing his date night plans…

First flakes here too, 15 days later than the average but not even close to the latest I've ever recorded the first snowflakes. 34/26 with light snow.

First accumulating snow of the season here as well, 12 days later than my average but also not even close to the latest I've recorded.  31/28 with light snow starting to mix.

21 here.  Only .19 for the month, may still be under an inch after this event.

32F this morning. Nice cold November, too many people keep talking about hypothetical warmth.

 

stop making yourself miserable and enjoy whats around you outside! I can’t remember the last time I had so many nights below freezing in November

Yeah, I was just looking back at my records over the 5 past Novembers through the 20th and here is my tally of below freezing nights:

2019: 14

2020: 9

2021: 12

2022: 8

2023: 13

High of 65 here today, a nice 36 degree swing from the low.

Coldest Thanksgiving in years ?

Thanksgiving 2018 I had a high of 26, so since then is possible but I don't see anything yet to equal or top that.

KMGJ made it down to 26

@Juliancoltonprobably tickled the teens

Some real homegrown cold here this morning, 29 for the low.

There's a couple members in here that must work for Oscar Mayer with the amount of weenies they throw out on a daily basis.

25 for the low, another beautiful heavy frost morning.
