A low pressure system moved northeast off the coastline on Sunday October 29. The outer fringe of its moisture shield, interacted with unseasonably cold air, to produce an usually early snow event across eastern New York. Measurable snow  fell  across the Hudson Valley eastward to the Taconics. Up to about an inch of slushy snow accumulated in the valley floor, with a little more across the hills. At the National Weather Service office at Albany, the 0.4 inch snowfall was the first measurable October snowfall since 1987. This snowfall amount was enough to establish a new record for the date, and the fourth snowiest October ever  recorded  at Albany. The snow did produce some minor vehicular accidents, but no other problems were reported to the National Weather Service.   	The high temperature on Sunday October 29 was only 36 degrees at Albany International Airport. This value established  a  new record cold high, eclipsing the old record of 38 set back in 1909, and the second coldest maximum temperature ever recorded  during the month of October.

A record breaking 45 day period with no measurable rainfall in combination with newly fallen leaves resulted in high fire danger in Shenandoah National Park.  Two small fires presumably started by humans on the 29th of October benefitted from ideal burn conditions and rapidly spread.  These fires eventually combined into the largest fire in Shenandoah National Park history.  The original fires started at Pinnacles just south of Route 211 and on Old Rag Mountain.  By November 5th, the two fires had combined into the 12,000 acre "Shenandoah Complex" fire and were burning around Skyline Drive in Page, Rappahannock, and Madison Counties.  By November 9th, the fire had burned 22,000 acres and was 80% contained.  The blaze was 100% contained on November 12th after it had burned a total of 24,197 acres.  About 880 firefighters were involved in blaze control and the total cost to fight the fire was estimated at $3.6 million.  The fires came within a mile of a few homes and voluntary evacuations took place, but no homes were damaged by the flames.  All but 5% of the fire was within the park boundary.  The fire resulted in the closure of Skyline Drive between Thornton Gap and the north entrance at Skyland.  Numerous other hiking trails including the Appalachian Trail between Route 211 and Skyland were also closed.  Before this event, the largest fire in Shenandoah National Park was 4,475 acres on May 2, 1986.

October 2000 was one of the driest Octobers on record across the state of Delaware. On a county weighted average, monthly precipitation totals were 0.1 inches in Kent and Sussex County and 0.5 inches in New Castle County. Normal monthly precipitation is around 3.2 inches. At the New Castle County Airport, the monthly precipitation total of 0.08 inches was the second driest October on record. It was only surpassed by October of 1924 (0.06 inches). While the dry weather did minimal agricultural damage, it left the region susceptible to brush and forest fires because of the newly fallen leaves.

Low pressure lifting northward offshore of the New England Coast during the 9th began moving northwestward as it approached the maritime provinces. The low lifted through New Brunswick...endingup north of  Maine by the evening of the 10th.Moisture from the storm combined with an unseasonably cold early season airmass to produce a heavy wet snow across northern and northwest Maine. The greatest  storm snowfall totals generally occurred across higher terrain areas. Storm snowfall totals across northwest Maine generally ranged from  7 to 12 inches...with the greater totals across the higher mountains of Baxter State Park.Lesser snow totals of 4 to 6 inches were reported across the higher terrain of northeast Maine...with less snow at lower elevations.   Snowfall across interior Downeast areas generally ranged from 2 to 6 inches...with the greater totals limited to isolated higher elevation areas.  This storm marked thesecond earliest measurable snowfall ever for the Bangor area.Since the storm occurred so early in the season...many trees still had most of their leaves. The combined weight of heavy snow and leaves brought down many trees and branches.  Wet snow sticking to powerlines and falling trees and branches contributed to power outages across the region.Around 80 hunters and campers were briefly trapped within Baxter State Park by the snow until roadswere cleared.

Low pressure tracking offshore of  the New England coast lifted toward the maritime provinces during the 28th...becoming nearly stationary across Nova Scotia that night. The low then retrogressedsouthwestward toward the Maine coast during the 29th...before starting a slow eastward drift throughthe Gulf of Maine during the 30th.Storm snowfall totals generally ranged from 8 to 12 inches across much of northwest and extremenorthern Maine. Across central and Downeast areas...snowfall totals of up to 6 to 8 inches werereported. The greatest snowfall totals with this event occurred across the higher mountains of Baxter State Park where orographic enhancement helped produce accumulations of  12 to 24 inches.Winds gusting to 30 to 40 mph early in the event produced blowing and drifting snow.  The gusty winds and heavy snow also combined to produce broken tree limbs which contributed to scatteredpower outages across the region.
