My father spent over three decades working as an emergency physician in a couple ER's.... and I know he saw a lot of patients that did not need to go to the ER. People go to the hospital for very benign things, which is so much more common than true life or death situations. He always used to say fevers were one of the biggest reasons to go to the ER, despite most people just needing to stay in bed for a day or two and take some over-the-counter meds. The hospitals can be pretty busy most of the time, well before any pandemic.

An axis from Ginxy to you to Scooter is by far the most impressive part of this storm to me at this point. That's truly awesome that the Advisory level snows made it that far southeast. This was bigger than October 2011 for you right? I think the period of return from IJD to TAN to BOS line has got to be pretty large. Once in a lifetime type stuff? Who knows these days though.

Cold late October evening... it was 18F at the picnic tables when I took the dog for her Friday evening walk. We made it back just as darkness fell. Now down to 25F here in town.

Ouch! Depends what elevation you are at when you take the fall. If it's in the valley, hope you fall onto one of the cars coming in from Mass on this Friday evening that still have snow on them LOL.

Ha, hope you know I'm just joking. Never thought you'd be railing on anyone who poo-poo'd a snow event .

Did you hit your head recently?

LOL at BTV discussing guidance showing SLK temps near 0F tonight. That’s pretty damn cold. The record low for SLK is 4F tomorrow.

I wonder what the return rate on that would be in the historical probabilities given how far that number is from the old record...in a location with very long POR.

Another from Woodstock, CT. My aunt says an even 5”.

Ha! A Mass plated vehicle just showed up to the hotel up here covered in snow. Bringing the snow to Vermont, well played.

That was an awesome run, ha. When the global models show that, it’s a big signal. Especially in a cold air mass ratios could be decent.

That’s sick to see several of you with legit 5” amounts. Damn. Anyone melt it down yet to see what ratios are?

Holy sh*t! Three times the all-time October record at BOS.

Ha yeah this family member is off Lebanon Hill Road on that side of the pond. Probably like a mile or two from your place.

Family says 3-4” in Woodstock, CT.

Enjoying the photos, thanks all! Great event!

The plow guy hates him... “This muthafukka has a two car garage and a driveway, yet his vehicles are in the street...”. But touché to Kev for knowing the date and when he can and can’t park there lol.

That’s a lie right? You really put your cars in the road to not impede the driveway accumulations?

Looks like radar wants to congeal around SE MA here in a bit. I wonder if you guys get a good parting shot further East. Just wild that it’s snowing to the beaches it seems.

Awesome scene man!

This morning's view rolling into work.

SW Albany from my dad. 200 feet elevation.

Surprised I didn't make that list, I can melt with the best of them, ha! It takes a certain pattern for everyone. You know when you are getting boned on a repetitive pattern, like weeks of the same misses.

00z 3km NAM looks like a period of snow for a lot of people, even down to the south coast. That would be pretty impressive if you don't think about Oct 2011.

Even a half inch to whiten the ground, in October? Set the mood for seasonal change. I love seeing snow this time of year. It’s been raining for 5 months, time to see another p-type. Doesn’t matter how much. Some areas could get several inches too, it’s all good though.
