Records: Highs: EWR: 90 (1977) NYC: 90 (1977) LGA: 86 (1977) JFK: 90 (1977) Lows: EWR: 27 (1976) NYC: 22 (1874) LGA: 29 (1976) JFK: 28 (1976) Very funny to go from record cold in 1976 on this date to JFK's earliest 90 degree day on the same date a year later lol. Must have been a northerly or northwesterly winds as LGA was 4 degrees cooler than everyone else. Even funnier, within a week we went from record cold in 1976 to our earliest heatwave of all time (later matched in 2002) and the all time April high temperature of 96 (also matched in 2002)!! Global warming, at least not in Spring, our Springs seem to be getting cooler and yuckier LOL.

Yay no more useless cutoff next weekend! also brightening may occur tomorrow afternoon, with patches of sunshine. These storms typically exit quicker than forecast Monday and Tuesday should both be at least partly sunny as the rain will only occur during the night.

Not really, unless there is going to be a snowstorm, this is useless, better to be 70 and sunny. What was your low for this morning, 36?

still snowing hard? you might end up with 6.

High Point, NJ 5.0 inches Walt and still snowing heavily there!!

That must be where the changeover line is.

Yes they just announced on WABC that Sussex county will be the jackpot for this storm. 5 inches report from High Point, NJ !

3 inches for you? That's what I'm hearing for the Poconos and another 3 could fall today/tonight.

at least it will be sunny both days. No precip on Sunday either and the sun comes out in the afternoon.

Excellent Rob. I've heard around 3 inches in the Poconos too and another 3 inches expected today/tonight.

I have zero memory of that storm but I clearly remember April 1982 lol We remember the big ones lol, especially our first big one. I wrote this in the CC forum but it applies to here too. I went shopping yesterday and talked to a bunch of people about this weather, both left and right. To be honest I've been talking to a lot of people who wish climate change would accelerate lol. They don't want the crap weather we are having right now, they want 60s-70s and sunny. The bad thing is this kind of weather we're having actually makes the deniers think they are right, they've been saying, if climate change was a serious problem we wouldn't be getting this kind of weather anymore. Paradoxically, I think climate change acceleration is the only way to get more people angry and involved. It has to become a serious life and death situation where it's warm enough to cause disruption to their life. And a large percentage of people actually don't want abnormally cold weather anymore, that's another issue.

I wonder if it would still be snowing after daybreak so we can actually see snow fall.

Looking for very late season comparisons what do you think of 4/19-20/1983 ?

Look up the April 1915 storm in Philadelphia, nearly 20 inches of snow!!

What would this storm have done had it happened in either January or February??

1993-94 is another example of this

lol I wonder what they were doing in that earthquake we had last year around this time.

It's been theorized that because of CC we will see many more +NAO in the winter and many more -NAO in the spring.

Not only do the on air TV Mets question Central Park snowfall totals they also question their temperatures (in the summer they are too low) and their wind speeds (also too low). That ASOS there has a major siting issue. And yet they still use it lol.

How does this differ from the Tax Day Noreaster in 2007? I remember we were supposed to get some snow at the end of that storm and it ended up south of in coastal NJ lol.

I say shift school to an hour later and begin at 9 AM.

we could also shorten the school day, I don't see a reason why school should begin before 9 AM.

Even the colder winter worked out which was similar to 2008-09. We also had the dry January with small snowfalls but long duration snowcover. Too bad we didn't get the March 2009 analog, Ray!

Thanks Walt!! Mount Pocono reporting 1.2 inches of snow and even 0.1 inch all the way down to Leighton , Wow! Can we expect the Mount Pocono total to be doubled tonight and tomorrow morning, Walt??
