Please see here (link below). This is a rain track for us as it was inland for the majority of the storm. The noreaster we just had was off shore for the majority of the event.

Note where the loop happened offshore that was the meat of the storm not the beginning part which was over land. This most recent much less intense storm retrograde right into central NJ which is why it would be rain in winter. You need a Benchmark track for snow at the coast.  This was a hugger. 

Storm surge with December 1992 was 10.5 feet with this storm it was 3.5 feet.

September is finishing with a mean temperature of 68.4° in New York City. That is 0.8° below normal (0.4° above the older 1981-2010 baseline).

Tomorrow and Friday will be unseasonably warm days to mark the start of October. Highs will reach the upper 70s and lower 80s across the region.

It will turn somewhat cooler during the weekend and a strong cold front will likely move across the region Sunday or Sunday night.
 
The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +4.7°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +3.1°C for the week centered around September 23. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +4.40°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +2.83°C. Both ENSO regions have set new all-time records. The ongoing strong El Niño, will continue to strengthen through the mid-fall. 

The SOI was -10.52 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.423 today.

September finished with a monthly mean temperature of 68.4° in New York City (Central Park). That was 0.8° below normal (1991-2020). The September 25-28 nor'easter that brought 3.10" of rainfall to Central Park was arguably the month's highlight event.

Thw majority of the precipitation during the 1992 storm happened when the low was over the Chesapeake, the reason the first 2/3 of the storm was rain.

When the low moved offshore we promptly turned to snow. The reason the snow totals were relatively low was a lot of it fell as white rain until the evening (I remember the storm very well as I was working at a grocery store pushing cwrts outside).

This past storm the winds stayed NE/NNE until the storm moved west. Therefore would have been snow.

When the storm ocluded we would have actually turned back to snow. February 2010 is a good example where the CT coast was rain UNTIL the storm moved SW and we turned to snow even with the precip coming in from the SE.

If you remember that storm you know how much more historic it was, large parts of NYC and coastal new jersey were underwater I'd never seen such a thing before and not again until Sandy.  I'd argue it was worse than Sandy because it lasted for three days and the precipitation was much more prolonged and much heavier.

I wonder how I would have done in this storm at my current location. I know it would be all snow but how much? The snowicane was all snow here. The Octoblizzard was 20 inches of a very heavy wet snow here just before Halloween.

It was a great elevation snowstorm. Even in CT the higher elevators received a lot.

Heavy patches of fog on the field across the street from my house. Looks great with the fall colors popping behind it.
