With all this warmth, let's go back 31 years ago to October 4th, 1987
Huge snowstorm north and NE of NYC
NW Jersey and Northern Westchester had 3 inches while further North way over a foot.
I remember just 30 to 40 miles up the thruway from NYC it was snowing as I was in it. WCBS AM also reported a sleet pellet in Hicksville NY
What a storm
