Rain totals from Fri/Sat

LGA: 0.97
EWR: 1.02
JFK: 1.02
NYC: 1.05
TTN: 1.38

 

Event total here was 1.55" with 1.5" snow.  We've made good drought progress over the last several weeks.  Most of the area should be in the abnormally dry or D0 classification on the Drought Monitor that comes out this coming Thursday. 

Stuck in the low 30's all day here with mist, drizzle and some sleet mixed in at times.  Everything pretty much melted on paved surfaces. Still some depth 1/2" - 3/4" on the colder surfaces.  Was just outside and things a bit slick under foot with temperatures hanging around 33 degrees currently.  Might be some black ice issues overnight if temperature drops to or just below freezing.

Finished with 1.5" here.  Pavement and concrete surfaces accumulated as well but with just under an inch of accumulations on those surfaces.  Roads did get snow covered.

Temperature dropped to 31 under a heavier band.

No plows and no SALT so far thank goodness.

32.5 with accumulating snow.  Mainly colder surfaces.  Pavement and concrete sparse coating.

Yes it’s higher. 1550’ for the Nordstrom tower vs 1396’ for 432 Park Ave. Both fully residential and have higher roof heights then 1 World Trade Center. While NYC no longer has the tallest buildings in the world it still has the highest residential buildings.

I think part of the reason they are having trouble selling that pent house is, it’s so high it’s often in the clouds. 

and from what I've read in high winds you can feel the sway.....no thanks.

Currently 36.4 degrees with light rain and drizzle.

Just nasty.  Sucks.

I'm ok with the rain but the chilly temperatures need to go

Big helicopter crash in the Hudson, 5 fatalities reported!

Horrible.  I'm hearing 6 deaths including some children. 

Love visible satellite pictures.

12:45 p.m. on April 9th - wall to wall sunshine and the temperature is just 39 degrees.  Pretty impressive.

Cold and windy overnight into this morning.  Overnight low here of 27.

There was a midnight high of 46 here overnight but dropped into the 30s just before 6am and have been there ever since. 38/36 currently with occasional drizzle and mist.

Same here.  High at mid-night and at least mist and drizzle all day.  Showers move through from time to time.

Not out of the 30's here today.  Was 35 at 6am and only 37.6 currently (3:00 p.m.)

35.6 degrees here with drizzle.  Rainfall last two days = .57".  Missed out on the heaviest stuff to the south and east the last two days but the .57" is welcome.

Saw that.  I was on the southern end of that, only .25" here.  I heard some thunder with it.  Just north must have gotten dumped on

Nice soaker swath for parts of the area overnight.

Historical:

1815: The Tambora Volcano in Java began erupting on this day. A few days later on the 10, Tambora produced the largest eruption known on the planet in the last 10,000 years. Ash from the volcano would circle the globe, blocking sunlight and leading to the unusually cold summer in 1816. On 6/6/1816, snow would fall as far south of Connecticut with some places in New England picking up 10 inches. On July 4th, 1816, the temperature at Savannah GA plunged to 46 degrees. Eastern North America and Europe had freezing nighttime temperatures in August.

 

1936: Approximately 454 people were killed in the second-deadliest tornado outbreak ever in U.S. More than 12 twisters struck Arkansas to South Carolina. An estimated F5 tornado cut a path 400 yards wide through the residential section of Tupelo, Mississippi. At least 216 people were killed, and 700 were injured. The tornado had a 15-mile long path and did $3 million in damage. One of the survivors in Tupelo was a baby of an economically strapped family who had an infant they'd recently named Elvis Aaron Presley. Gainesville, Georgia had at least 203 fatalities and 934 injuries from an estimated F4 tornado that occurred early the following morning. 

1945 - The temperature at Eagles Nest, NM, plunged to 45 degrees below zero to establish an April record for the United States. (Sandra and TI Richard Sanders - 1987)

1955 - The Northern Rockies and the Northern High Plains were in the midst of a four day storm which produced 52 inches of snow at Lead, located in the Black Hills of western South Dakota. (David Ludlum)

1972 - A tornado, 500 yards wide at times, touched down at a marina on the Oregon side of the Columbia River, and then tore through Vancouver WA killing six persons, injuring 300 others, and causing more than five million dollars damage. It was the deadliest tornado of the year, and the worst of record for Washington. (The Weather Channel)

1982 - An unprecedented April blizzard began in the northeastern U.S. One to two feet of snow fell across Massachusetts and Connecticut, and up to 26 inches was reported in Maine. New York City received a foot of snow. Winds reached 70 to 80 mph during the storm, and the storm also produced numerous thunderstorms, which contributed to the heavy snow. (Storm Data)

1987 - A storm produced unprecedented April snows in the central Appalachians. Mount Mitchell NC received 35 inches of snow, and up to 60 inches (six feet) of snow was reported in the mountains along the border of North Carolina and Tennessee. The total of 25 inches at Charleston WV easily surpassed their previous record for the entire month of April of 5.9 inches. The 20.6 inch total at Akron OH established an all-time record for that location. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary)

1988 - Thirty-nine cities across the eastern half of the country reported record high temperatures for the date, including Saint Louis MO with a reading of 91 degrees. Laredo TX was the hot spot in the nation with an afternoon high of 100 degrees. (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - Unseasonably hot weather prevailed in the southwestern U.S. Afternoon highs of 100 degrees at Santa Maria CA and 105 degrees in Downtown Los Angeles established records for the month of April. (The National Weather Summary)

1990 - Afternoon and evening thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced severe weather in southern Oklahoma, southern Arkansas, and north central and northeastern Texas. Thunderstorms spawned a dozen tornadoes in Texas, including one at Fort Worth which caused a million dollars damage. There were nearly one hundred reports of large hail and damaging winds. Thunderstorms in Texas produced hail three and a half inches in diameter west of Fort Worth, and produced wind gusts to 80 mph at Cross Plains. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

This spring is way better than the previous 4.  My yard is almost fully greened up.  I had to cut it today.  

 

Looks good!  Nothing like that here.  Still 90% winter brown.

Pretty warm for 10 p.m. on April 3rd. with dp's in the mid to some upper 60's.

A bit much honestly.

Much needed.  Lets keep it going as we head through April.

What a torch March turned out to be.  Zero snow for just about everyone here

Had flurries on the 1st and show shower on the 27th.  Just a trace for the month.  Fitting end to the season.

29.4" for the season barring any surprises in April

Looks like almost all of us stayed in the mid 40s today. 

High of 45 here.  Stark contrast to yesterday!

29 for the low up here. I noticed the change in maps as well and that you have to click on the + or - to zoom in and out. 

Don't use them very often at all but if that is a permanent change it stinks.
