About 2 hours of snow here. Covered mulch and roads up higher were starting to cave. It has passed now.

Farther north, we've had only 10 days in 27 Aprils with maxima 32 or colder, only 3 below 30 and the 24 during a modest snowfall on 5/2003 is lowest by 5°. 200 miles NNE in Fort Kent, such maxima are much more common, 3.1/yr vs. 0.37/yr. Of course, the 1970s-80s were also colder than 1999 onward. We recorded 31 such days in our 10 Aprils there, 30 of which were 23 to 32, plus the 17 max for the 4/7/82 blizzard.

Lol give it up

WSW

Crazy how it always swings back from cold to something extreme on the warm side.

i made the deans list one semester in college. what did you do that was so special?

NAM is juiced

Todays EW look pretty awful if you’d prefer BN in the E US. And I’m not talking about the WxBell crappy always too cold maps. I’m talking about the ECMWF’s own much more trustworthy maps. They’re not pretty unless you want mild or even borderline torching. Also, the 10 mb is for the 2nd day not dipping as much: only dips to -2 (though with still a large majority reversing) vs -5 (with almost all reversing) yesterday and -11 (with 100% reversing) two days ago.

No, I did it without needing a straight jacket.

You've said it multiple times. Stop backtracking and moving goalposts. You've had 3 of your theories go up in flames this season about the northeast You're a clown, sorry. Try expanding your reading a little bit and you might not be so narrow minded. Since 2016...your favorite line ever...since 2016, multiple places within a handful of miles have now had 3 50" winters, but your CC tunnel vision wasn't able to comprehend that.

GWWBA glad we won't be alive

How many measurements did you take and did you make a video?

Did a bit of a weenie drive further down the South Shore, there is a lot of effing snow here. Makes it feel like just an Alberta clipper hit Weymouth.

A few slushy snowflakes have been splattering in my windshield on my drive into Damascus.

Some interesting stats on the frequency of large 10" plus snowstorms comparing the Philly burbs of Chester County PA vs. Philadelphia.

Thanks, looking for any glimmer of hope that Northern Vermont stay all frozen precip for March 5-7 ski trip.

Quote of the storm, and prophetic at the same time. My money was on 19.9. In fairness the 1 PM measurement of 19.7 was probably accurate. The problem was, as we all know now, all of the snow that fell from one to four was recorded as a trace. And it was noted as heavy snow during part of that time period.

Oh, I’m a real snow measurer. And I’ve also really done all of the following things: • Personally corrected multiple National Weather Service totals • Measured snow in non-public drift zones the “pros” don’t even know about • Had my ruler featured in three separate viral weather videos • Been DM’d by meteorologists asking for my methodology • Calibrated my yardstick to within 1/32″ precision using aerospace standards • Sat in a folding chair during peak banding to observe flake density transitions • Received a personal pocket ruler from a sitting U.S. Senator who “respects precision” • Serenaded a highly respected female TV meteorologist with an original winter ballad about dendritic growth zones • Had private correspondence with at least one other TV meteorologist • Measured in the President’s Day Blizzard of ’03 • Had drinks with a local plow operator while discussing compaction bias • Been told off-record snowfall doubts by a state official and two town officials. • Sought out as a source by at least one YouTube commenter with over 10K subscribers And all of that was before the age of 35 when I officially began my independent oversight of SE-SNE Big Snow.

As impressive as the '82 temps were, I actually think the 4/5/95 cold outbreak was more impressive. It was bare ground and bluebird skies....full sunshine. ORH put up a 26/12 that day....that is beyond crazy for such conditions in early April. I remember that day vividly because I had to walk to and from middle school in that....across an open sports field too part of the way. The wind was like razor blades into your face.

Coldest April high on record for ORH in the '82 bizzard....high of 21F and low of 11F the second day of that storm as it was winding down.

That’s great but we all have some kind of accolades in our life. Should we all sit here and put out everything that we’ve done and all the accomplishments that we’ve made on a weather forum? What relevance does that have?

12z Euro basically has a week of straight 70s in DC March 6-12. 2012 anyone?

The last few March's with SSWs have not correlated with cold conditions.. historically there is a +15day lag to -NAO though

How about that blizzard in 1982 or 1984 ... ? I think one of those had high Ts crashing through the teens while that was going nuts. My uncle at the time told me the Charles froze back over by the following morning... short lived of course.
