A Rare Early November Snowstorm 9 Days after an Historic Hurricane. 2012.

This Nor'Easter is staying just far enough away to keep the 850 temps below freezing(dark blue above) yet close enough to throw back precip which is falling as snow into the areas. Stronger winds also staying far off shore but still gusting to 35-40mph here and there. Blizzard like conditions in spots and heavy bands cutting through Long Island, CT and into NJ now. Lost for words.

Here's some Snow totals so far from NWS reports since 5:30pm

Radar and Temps from 6pm. Amazing how we saw the temps drop as soon as the snow cooled the air. Pretty sure some Early season records will be broken.
