Trying to enjoy this last snow until Nov ‘27

Lol, +SN now.

Driving to work over the Berkshires was horrible. Some towns have packed it in with the sand and salt. If only my car was powered by expletives!

29.8° SN Poundtown now

Yes, chances for Super El Nino are increasing. The last one was 15/16. If this holds, it could be a hot and dry summer in the south. Very concerning...

Now is when I appreciate living right next to the bay. Should moderate the temps down here a bit.

Not bad for 4/7..

Was snowing to beat the band in southborough. Coated everything.

1.5, even if not strong, is still notable. In the last 77 years, we've only had 10 events that cleared 1.5 on both the ONI and RONI (only 4 of these, in bold, cleared 2.0 on both - the threshold for super): 1957-58 1965-66 1972-73 1982-83 1986-88 (this was a double year el nino, which unlike the others, peaked in the summer of 1987) 1991-92 1997-98 2009-10 2015-16 2023-24

30.5° -SN Decent dendritic aggregates

Sheeh... I want to say it's 1/4S+ in this burst. Just pouring dendrites.

Another burst of moderate with graupel mixed in. Pavement coated up again. Probably finish with about 1.25” 31° Over performer.

The modeling looks like the key 3.4 region rises to just under +1.5 toward this next Xmas. Makes sense I suppose ... El Nino is Spanish for "Christ child" and is given to the name of the phenomenon for a reason; the canonical time of year for it to occur. Anyway, 1.5 is not super this or even very strong that. Where is this extremeness coming from ?

stopped for a bit but started back up.. we rip.. everything whitened up

Of course 5 minutes later it starts pouring cat paws and that gets a few white spots to show up.

Sun was out, but now getting another good burst. Exactly 1” on the car when I drove the kiddo to school.

I think the worst outcome is 36F snow like I had earlier. I’ll take an April blizzard.

Still snowing in the heavier bursts, but not quite hard enough get a coating on anything.

Actually, it's now a freeze warning from midnight on for the DC metro.

could be worse ... 44 years ago today, NYC-BOS were in the later stages of an April blizzard.

Yes.

It snowed and some things were white

Radar estimates over 2 inches of QPF fell in south-central IA overnight. Likely overestimated due to bright banding, but some big amounts may have happened in a narrow corridor if the snow wasn't too mixy with rain.

Only 0.09 inch here. It is so very dry… .
