October 2020 Obs and Discussion

I went to home depot for mulch and I overheard one of the workers saying that winter snow melt will be put out 11/1 saying that it might be a bad winter so they wanna get a jump start since there's so much leftover from last year.

Oh my gosh anything has to be better than last winter!! we only got 2.5 inches of snow the whole season!!

I know weatherwatchermom 2.5 inches even the words Mothrazilla and others was never spoken.....but someone in here said the words polar vortex will be mention im guessing before winter gets here so stay tuned.

Winds 14 mph  gusts over 20   temp 55  and we have almost 2.5 inches of rain so far

Only .89" here, and now just a misty drizzle at 51*

Omg it is pouring again..we are over 3 inches already!

Picked up another .20" overnight! Giving me 1.08" of wetness which is much appreciated and needed.
Mom this would have been a BECS (Biblical East Coast Storm - Roidzilla storm 36" plus of white gold) for you if winter !!!!

I wish I would volunteer to go out and shovel ..usually leave that to our son and. My hubby

This stratosphere warming the latter half of October could mean a colder second half of October with a colder 1st half of November.

A coastal low Friday and Friday Night? Looks to be





Another 1' possible

Here's a GIF of the weak coastal Friday into Saturday that will form along the front with colder air in behind it

Another 3/4" plus

Hopefully the rain will be out of NJ by late Friday night is that possible? If not my sat plans are trashed which would suck.

The forecast for Sat is sunny, is it wrong? Isnt that through 12z Sat which is 7am? The GFS looks to have it ending round then.  That stinks if your right.  And wow talk about a bullseye for me.

Yeah all local forecasts mention no rain for anywhere in the tristate for Sat, says sunny in 60s (Hazlet is where I am headed). I can play it by ear if its dry then I can go. Unless event is cancelled, which they said rain or shine anyways.

Chilly air incoming Saturday night

Good luck at the garage sales if it was not a pandemic I would be going around town it's fun..not sure how many people are participating this year...

It was a light steady rain here earlier in the week. Nothing big. About 1.5 inches total

53* on this raw, rainy beautiful Autumn Day!!
GFS nailed this and has outdueled the EURO the last couple of months.
Its ENS platform - GEFS got a massive upgrade last month so it is now lock in in step with itself. Going to bode well for the winter.

This woudl have been a 8-18" snow storm peeps - just saying!! ALA the King -'96!
