A surface low pressure system spun up in eastern Washington in the afternoon on the eighth and moved little as the low eventually filled in and dissipated during the morning hours on the ninth. Moisture rotating in around the low pressure system resulted in bands of snow that developed across the Northern Panhandle along the northeastern flank of the low.  A localized portion of this area near the Spirit Lake area picked up over six inches of snowfall.  This resulted in snow covered roadways and slick driving conditions for the Friday morning commute.

Hurricane Sandy moved northward off eastern seaboard of the United States during the last week of October 2012. Due to a very strong blocking ridge of high pressure situated over the Atlantic Ocean, the storm turned back to the northwest and rapidly strengthened as it moved toward the mid-Atlantic coast. Although the storm began transitioning into a non-tropical nor'easter storm, it remained an extremely powerful cyclone. As the storm made landfall in southern New Jersey during the evening of October 29th, bands of rain moved across western New England. The rainfall was not excessively heavy and did not cause any flooding, thanks to dry antecedent conditions. Rainfall amounts were generally less than an inch for valley areas, but higher terrain areas saw slightly higher amounts. Woodford reported a rainfall total of 2.07 inches.
However, strong and gusty winds in association with the storm caused damage to trees and power lines across the region. Although not quite as widespread as areas across southeastern New York and New Jersey, power outages occurred throughout the region.  Most of the outages in Vermont were primarily in the western part of the state. Wind gusts of 40 to 60 mph were common from the afternoon of the 29th until the early morning hours of the 30th. The highest wind gust in southern Vermont occurred in Woodford, where a wind gust to 58 mph was reported.

Mainly between 10 PM and 2 AM CDT on this Saturday evening and early Sunday morning, scattered to numerous multicell storms rumbled through much of the six-county area before gradually weakening and departing to the southeast. The most widespread storm coverage, including a few that became marginally severe, targeted Jewell and Mitchell Counties where quarter size hail fell in both Burr Oak and Beloit. Rainfall totals in excess of one inch were also measured in a few spots, including 1.92 at Burr Oak and 1.26 at Lebanon. Earlier in the afternoon between 5-6 PM CDT, the local area narrowly missed out on a separate corridor of strong to severe storms that streamed from central Kansas into southeast Nebraska within a zone of enhanced deep-layer wind shear just east of a surface cold front. Although the western edge of this activity actually clipped far southeastern Mitchell County, there were no storm reports from that area. Both the afternoon and evening events were driven by a rather deep mid-upper level trough that lumbered directly over the Central Plains from west to east. As the core of this upper trough axis passed overhead after nightfall, lingering elevated CAPE on the order of 500-1000 J/kg along with pronounced mid level convergence sparked these locally severe storms.

Water also crossed over State Route 24 at milepost 100 near Caineville.

Because of persistent lack of precipitation, the severe drought expanded across portions of north central Wisconsin to include all of Taylor County. Rainfall during the month quickly allowed for some improvements to occur and by the end of the month, only the southwest corner of the county remained in the severe drought.

Drought in TAYLOR, WISCONSIN
From 09-OCT-12 06:00:00 to 31-OCT-12 23:59:00 (CST-6)
Reported by: Drought Monitor

Severe drought conditions developed across Taylor County during early October because of persistent lack of precipitation. Rainfall amounts average 3 to 4 inches for the month and this was enough for some improvements to occur. By the end of the month, only the southwest quarter of the county remained in a severe drought. Improvements across the rest of the county removed those areas from the severe drought classification. Affects of the drought include river flows less than 20 percent of normal and deeper than normal ground water levels.
