There is light snow falling up along I84 in NE PA. This is a quick light burst and precip has already changed over to rain back around Wilkes Barre and Hazleton. The place to be for this one for snow is mainly going to be northern NE.
We are going to need an SSW event in order to get the cold air needed down here for significant snow. For now, in spite of the record strong vortex the models just keep printing more fantasy maps. As they say delayed but not denied…
We were out in CO on vacation in September. We spent a day near Aspen and were up on a hill and saw my first cat paws of the season on the windshield during a rain shower. Even in the daytime it struggled to reach 60. Being near 10K feet above sea level will get you that. I know they have already had accumulating snow in the Denver area.
Frost/Freeze warnings this morning from the NYC area all the way down to SE Texas. Looks like a very large section of the east coast and gulf coast all ended their growing season on the same night.
This would be a hurricane moving up from the NW Caribbean that hits Florida and then moves up the east coast and draws in cold air resulting in lights out for New England. Weenie candy anyways.
This event has been appearing on some operational runs and on some ensemble members for days now. The Euro had it at 0z as well. I will describe it for what it is which is a talking point for now. In any case there is the potential for an early season elevation event for areas well inland as we go through next week.
The photo below was posted on FB earlier. It was taken on Great South Bay to the north of Fire Island Pines after 5:00 PM. This is looking towards Davis Park.
