Snowing here

Are we ever going to get NESIS map for this event or are we just going to ignore it? It's obviously more than a cat 1 based on other storms in this list. Easily a 2 but most likely a 3. They were quick to do one for Feb 22-23 but just skipped this for some reason. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/rsi/nesis

I saw that Saturday isn’t looking as good as before. 9am… 2pm…

thanks for posting this 8 years ago today. The fifth and last snowstorm of the season. A low end warning event for most of CT and Tri-State after the 4 nor'easters of March 2018. https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/apr-2-2018

Breezy, 32 n no snow yet. A trace last night. Radar showing good returns coming in, but this is going to be a slop fest.

Nasty day here. Drizzle just ended but temps going nowhere

If that happens, and the heat dome is centered somewhere around Death Valley, the American/global temperature record of 134 degrees could finally fall.

Right, but I think even the blizzard-zone would like to load the dice a bit more favorably with a somewhat weaker ENSO relative to that season.

2015-2016 is acceptable

Early next week looks like dog poop

Switched over to light snow smaller flakes with some bigger ones mixed in!

They really need locusts...

32 and rain

It's not forecast too but if this were to go over to snow, say ? that's like stepping off the perfect ass vomit because you're getting something back in amazement: 73 yesterday, snow today .. a rare and interesting, thus vaguely redeeming aspect. Hasn't happened yet, just sayn'

That first batch lasted all of 4-5 minutes if that. When it started, my wife looked at me and said "what is THAT"? I knew, opened the front door and she said "wow!" Here's your disparity in a single picture:

Actually, flipping over to IP ... but it's pure IP. No like mangle aggies in there. Clear and round.

38 with rain and sleet here.

Can't call this a GOAT rectal plaque bottom day because we get this once or twice per year around this overrated region. GOAT is a too singular of a distinction. It may in fact be more sufficed to say this isthe GOAT rectal plaque bottom geographical region on Planet Earth, because that would allow perfection of ass vomit more than once. This is that region on a middle Earth D&D map that just says Beware... Yet, civility chose to give this area a try. amazing 34/33 -R

He moves in mysterious ways.

46 / 44 cloudy - 30-35+ degrees chill down from yesterday. 20 hours of cool reverses Friday 60s if stays mostly cloudy and 70s if the sun returns. Saturday a touch warmer but again depends on where the clouds/showers are. Easter looking a bit wetter now as the ridge moves out and front in. Cooler week 4/ - 4/9 then warming as ridge returns east 4/10 - beyond. 4/2: Onshore/chill 4/3 - 4/5 : Much warmer / cloud showers could tap warmth 60s - 70s vs 70s - 80s if more sun - will see 4/6 - 4/9 : Cooler near / slightly below normal 4/10 - beyond : ridge east much warmer

That always seems to be a hotspot in central Nassau around Roosevelt Field area.
