STORM TOTALS FROM NOAA
Saturday, October 29, 2011
Very astute observations by WxRisk.com last week: An intense blizzard hit Siberia, the snow cover over Northern Canada had increased to above normal.
These observation lead DT to speculate that a cold, snowy start to our winter would likely follow. Also a polar vortex established itself over eastern Canada. But will this hold for most of the winter? Wait and see.
Judging from radar echoes the snow may end before nightfall. My own opinion, not a forecast!
The snow has stopped over a portion of Southern New Jersey.
As of 4:30 pm the snow has filled back in and this means the snow will continue beyond sunset, not good news , it will cool off slightly enabling the snow to stick better.
A dry slot had developed earlier and I was hopeful that it was a signal that the snow might end sooner, but as the next 2 hours went by the precip just filled back in again.

Another major east coast / appalachian storm next week. Snow? Perhaps.
Forecasters at WXRISK, ACCUWEATHER, are looking for a major storm next week from Oct. 18 to 22nd. Too early for details but a storm over the entire east coast is looking likely with even some snow, far inland,well away from the coast. WIND could be a big factor.
After a rainy Thursday and Friday a cooler, very breezy weekend will follow this week.
Early look at this winter season soon. The Old Farmers Almanac sees a generally cold, snowy pattern.
