2001, 2007, 2020, 2024 averaged 35" after the equinox. Doesn't last nearly as long, but quite wintry. Add 1982 for the most "wintry" April storm for the Northeast in the past century or longer.

I'm up in Alberta and interior BC at the moment and have noticed how all the secondary roads have a ton of sand on them. Doesn't appear that much salt is applied. Reminds me of central Maine 40+ years ago in college when the roads were ice and snow covered a good portion of the winter. I hate salt and all that pre-treatment crap they throw down - can only imagine what it is doing to the water table.

Time to start tracking rain events. Now is when we want some good soakers, so that by May/June when things turn more towards convection, we have a good start and don't have to worry about a drought as much. Monday has my attention.

Fail I was almost right How about now ? No volcanos !

We had some sleet north of Kernersville just after lunch.

MetHerb?

My guess is a half inch of slush before it melted.

I’m so sorry to hear that Daniel Boone! I will pray for you and your family.

That’s just crazy how that all evolved down there this morning. The DCA ob was even registering a heat index last night when I had posted about it. People in there rating/upgrading their winters to A’s and such haha. If I don’t get any more snow this season beyond like a 1-2” bush bender I’m rating my winter a C-, and it’ll take a late March/early April 2018 type run for me to rate it any better than a C+. The only reason I won’t rate it worse than a C is the consistent cold + scoring the big storm on 1/25. But temps were similarly cold consistently last winter too, just without the big storm. My snow total is sitting basically on par with the last 4 winters, which were all solidly below normal for here. So I’m grading tough.

And I’ve recounted my narrative in leaving Beltsville about 5pm at 62 and returning around 8pm in blinding snow snd 32. Ushered in the great 1995-96 winter

This event raised my grade for this winter from a C to a B. Had the late Feb event worked out, it would've been a B+/A.

And wizard that was April so wonder what the highest day before for March is?

My condolences Daniel Boone .

I was getting my daily weather readings and just noticed west central Wisc where my Uncle lives may get shellacked just before my Mar 16 birthday. Could be west central MI might get well over two feet. Congrats. Hope it overperforms BIG!

Yes there have gotta be a lot of records like that. My temp spiked to 75 by 4am and 1pm 9 hours later Daytime it’s 33!and heavy snow. Many of those sort of things likely were exceeded by yesterday to today .

1.5” here although it snowed at rate of 1.5”ph for two hours. Radiance was really well minimized but still 2-3 degrees too mild. I think Richmond hit 89 yesterday and at same time this afternoon it was 33 and heavy snow

Thanks Buddy!!

Chuck , that cardinal shot looks like you pointed your camera at a high quality Christmas card painted by an experienced artist. Great photo !

I’m just a neighborhood curmudgeon

I hate to hear that. Condolences.

After the 21st i would consider it no longer, Its still winter up here now.

you'll see more snow but I don't consider it "winter" when it's late March or April regardless

Historic actually. They will eclipse or come very close to some 24hr monthly records, as well as breaking some multi-day snowfall accumulations across portions of WI.

This was a solid thaw. Noteworthy. We lost 20” of snowpack at home, and 21” at the base of the mountain. 42” to 21” this week at 1,500ft.
