Epic Early Season Nor'Easter Was A Memorable One...

NY/New England…
This storm was one for the record books, an unprecedented storm for this time of year and a high impact event for many across the eastern half of upstate New York and extreme northwestern New England. Many locations experienced their all-time highest or top 5 one day snow total for the month of October. It was a very elevation dependant snowstorm as the highest totals were found across the Catskill, Adirondack, and Green Mountains of NY and VT where more than a foot was common. Highest total reported was across extreme eastern Delaware cnty, NY in the heart of the Catskills with 25.6” reported in the town of Roxbury. Valleys in and around the southern tier and Mohawk Valley averaged a trace-5”… highest across central Oneida, southern Fulton, and Montgomery cntys. North of I-90 and between I-81/I-87, this region was crippled from the heavy wet snow. Widespread 12+ amounts were observed, especially across the Adirondacks, and also several reports exceeded a foot across the Saint Lawrence River Valley into the northern Green mountains of Vermont. Elsewhere, minor snow accumulations were reported in the Berkshire mtns of western Massachusetts and along the immediate lake shore of Ontario. The wind also wreaked havoc on the area, especially in areas that were hit hard by the snow. Many power outages occurred across a good chunk of central, eastern, and northern NY. This led to many road closures, especially in the mtns due to falling trees and power lines.

PA/NJ...
This storm also crippled portions of northeast Pennsylvania and northwest New Jersey, specifically the Poconos of Lackawanna, Luzerne, Monroe, and Pike cntys, and hills of Sussex, Hunterdon, Morris Cntys, NJ. In these areas, widespread totals of 8-16" were reported, with the highest amount of 16" reported in Mountain Lake, PA (Luzerne Cnty) and Tobyhanna, PA (Monroe Cnty). Many reports of power outages in these areas due to falling limbs and lines from a combination of snow, wind, and leaves that have yet to fall. Many other areas across southeastern Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey saw their first accumulation snowfall of the season with this storm.
