October Nor’easter: 2025 Edition

[Ginx snewx]

Just great to have a decent storm with wind and 15 foot seas. Some good gusts overnight

I’m not home but looks like close to 2”. Looks like CJ in progress.

You would be looking at 12 to 20 with 6 foot drifts. Would have been a keeper 

Much needed rain, regardless...but glad this one was a practice run.

This is actually pretty similar to the January 2022 event in terms of QPF distribution...same haves and have nots.

We got boned here in Jan 22…lousy storm in that one here.  This was much more precip than that Jan ‘22 for my area.  But I understand what you mean for a lot of places.

The wind was lame here with this one…breezy but no wind of consequence. But it would have been blowing the snow around some(would have been nice appeal), but no 6ft drifts imo if this was a winter storm…but I figured 12-18” for sure..but I like your 12-20 even better Steve lol.   And with the light rain still happening…the 20” idea would probably be correct.

Yea, I'm not saying it's a precise overlay...but generally similar....I think January '22 had more of longitudinal element to the gradient...this is more latitude.

Yes! You got it right. Good description.

They are running the ferry? Looks like Block Island is shut down today. 

They pretty much only shut down for southeasters, which make it impossible for the boat to dock properly. But for anything short of a cat 1, they can keep running boats.

Up to an 1.5” here and that coastal band is set up right over us. Beautiful baby!

Still dry (as forecast, maybe a bit tonight).  Just enough wind to wiggle the few remaining intact leaves.

[metagraphica]

Power is out for a second time today. Damage x 2!

Are the forests still standing?

This would’ve been one of those situations where eastern peeps were doing naked snow angels while I shovel 2 inches of sand.
AIT, precipitation really underperformed here.  .50” and rain was done by 2 AM.

Wind was a non-factor so still plenty of leaves on the trees.

Radar is fractured and banded.  Dry slotted here.  1.24 at a nearby PWS.  Breezy conditions.

Updated the title as this never gained any subtropical characteristics

I didn't so much better than you....we often have pretty congruent obs.

good call! I was expecting better rates out that way last night that didn't really materialize.

Climo nor'easter in the end...

That's only by impact too - most coastal storms don't emerge the way this one did, with such torpid H500 evolution amid what looks like a spaghetti plot of isopleths.

[Snowedin]

A pretty sizeable tree just came down out back. Hopefully it’s just one of the many diseased beech trees that happen to be nearby but it’s always a sad sight as a nature lover. That rain has just been relentless since early this morning!
