That’s kind of wild.

FROPA through here, some decent NW gusts.

That’s probably longer here . I recall a HFD marathon I ran in mid 2010’s and left here at about 5:00 AM and it was 28 degrees.  That’s always run 2nd weekend of Octorcher . Only Oct in last 15 I can remember a freeze that early here

Had you hit 32F or lower in 2011 before the Rocktober snowstorm?

I really don’t know . That was a hot month , so I would heavily lean no. That morning for the last 2-3 hours of the storm dropped into upper 20’s after 31. 5 paste all night . The last inch or two was powdery

I’ll say I’ve been fringed in a lot of SNE storms but that’s the only one I’m still jealous of.  We got 1.5” lol.  What a remarkable event.
