Storms of October

For the first time in three years, the end of October passed through New Jersey without a noteworthy weather event. Two years ago it was a major snowstorm--the worst October snowstorm in New Jersey history--that brought down trees still laden with leaves. Last year it was Superstorm Sandy, probably the worst storm to ever hit the state. This year October ended quietly, although today, November 1, brought some torrential rain and wind gusts up to 45 MPH.
