October 29, 2011 Storm

Big storm next week. We'll have to watch those temps. Someone in the east is going to get snows and someone will just have flurries (coastal).Models are now showing a major storm in the NorthEast.

In 2 days we'll get a better handle on temps.

In 3 days exact track.

The station records are there beyond Central Park, NOAA's website just doesn't show the detail. If you go to the BOX (Boston) site, you might see some more detailed info for Bridgeport, until sometime in the late 1990s or early 2000s the Boston office handled all of CT, not the NYC one (eventually Fairfield and all the coastal counties including New London went under NYC weather jurisdiction......ironically at that same time many NJ counties that are clearly in the NY area moved to the jurisdiction of the Philly NWS office).

CT is actually under THREE NWS jurisdictions as Litchfield County is handled by the Albany, NY office.
I looked at NWS Boston site - the only thing I found was under the heading "Miscellaneous Climate Records and Averages"...but they don't seem to have Bridgeport? In any event, this October will not break the record, but is likley in the top 5 I would think. I think your right, it would take alot for the monthly mean to crash 1.6 F in in less than 8 days. Still, never say never.

Temps went down to 41 F here last night (6: 00 AM) along the coast, so it got somewhat chilly. The next 8 days look pretty tame, sunny, with daytime highs in the 60's and overnight lows in the 30's (north) and 40's (south/coastal). So at least here along the Connecticut coast/Long Island, it looks like we'll cross into November with no frost.

Well what you think earthquakes do they changes the land... Earth wasnt the same millions of years ago, so I'm sure pole shift can happened farther more.

Connecticut was tropical million years ago.

From "NWS" State College Facebook Page regarding the Euro Model…

US National Weather Service State College PA | Facebook

“European model , ensembles and other solutions continue to indicate a strip of heavy snow will certainly be possible in the Thursday to Saturday timeframe next week (Oct. 27-29) from KY/TN through parts of OH, PA, NY and into western and central New England. Such early season snowfall is typically heavy/wet and elevation dependent, but in this case models are simulating sufficient cold air to bring snow to valley floors in central and western PA. We think you'll probably want to keep an eye on this one for later next week.

Its happened earlier in the past so we’ll have to see… EARLY SNOWSTORM COVERS NORTHEAST - New York Times

As noted somewhat earlier in this thread, I remember that storm well as I was driving from a weekend home in southern Westchester back to college in the Albany area. It's actually fond nostalgia for me now.....

You wanna hear a cool stat?
Using amount of snows per decade...

Coastal CT (Bridgeport) has gotten 100 inches of snow since the start of this decade (2010 & 2011) which is just 80 inches from beating the entire decade of the 1980s.....And we still have 8 years to do it.

Bridgeport
1980-1989 = 179"
2010 = 38"
2011 = 62"

That is an amazing stat. I'm telling you with the La Nina in place if the AO tilts just right you could see a period of 3or 4 storms again in a short period just like last year.
