Today we had .1inch of snow - a record for Halloween.
Strong winds and cold.
The weather pattern is shaping up like last year. A very bad Winter.
I would think Quantum will have a rough crossing when it come to New Jersey. They are saying the East coast will have a Nor Easter in a few days.
Can't wait till Jan.10th to do Southern Carribean on Summit.
