Buzzline

The October 2011 “Snowtober” nor’easter dropped 31.4 inches of snow in Jaffrey, New Hampshire, during a rare pre-Halloween East Coast storm. NOAA said low pressure strengthened off the Carolina coast on Oct. 29 and tracked northeast, bringing rain before snow to parts of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. At its peak, winter weather alerts covered 24 counties and areas across four states, as heavy, wet snow and gusty winds disrupted roads and power. The storm blanketed the Northeast and changed Halloween plans.  Disclosure: This video contains stock footage and content created or enhanced using AI-assisted tools.
