Gorgeous here, temp 71. Captree stuck at 53 about a half hour drive away.

Not quite as much here east of NYC as NNJ but still 15” in my backyard on 2/1 and an awesome event overall. Beginning of a great 2 week stretch.

If Boston measured officially from Fenway Park Central Park would probably be beat by 10” or more. 2/1 screwed them over big time from the onshore flow. The storm wasn’t matured enough at our latitude to screw us over that bad.

I’m fine with upper 60s and occasional 70, keep the heat waiting. Only thing I despise is the easterly wind marine layer crap, so far this spring hasn’t been too bad on that front. Of course watch that start happening.

I was reading that the number of cases in India is likely much higher because of the small proportion of people getting tested. It would almost certainly be the worst official outbreak in the world by far if testing was on pace with the US/Europe. And Brazil is a corrupt disaster as you pointed out with a clueless and corrupt president that openly mocks public safety measures, so what do you expect. The cramped and impoverished conditions that most in the cities there deal with makes it even worse.

Just got the first Moderna shot today. Went to a local clinic, was in and out in 15 minutes after I didn’t keel over.

Looks like Boston measured 0.1" today so it's a tie for the seasonal total with Central Park. Impressive event today for sure. Like most April snow events looks like there were clear winners and losers based on banding and elevation.

I remember how fast the snow we had the morning of 4/2/18 melted-6" gone in a few hours. Same with the 4/7/03 snow, gone practically in a blink of an eye. Enjoy and take pictures while you can lol.

Yep. The Bermuda high trended north the last few summers making the overall wind direction southerly instead of westerly.

Snowing at Boston now. Here we go to see if they accumulate and end up over Central Park. Photo finish!!

Right down here on the south shore of LI it accumulated easy on Apr 8 2003 in the afternoon, and much of LI had a significant to major snow event on Apr 9-10 1996. If it comes down hard enough it’ll accumulate. Enjoy up there.

Most of LI should end up over 1” rain and some in Suffolk over 2” so that’s a win.

Coming down pretty heavily. Probably at about 0.6" for the event so far.

Yep, these late developers are feast or famine west of the cutoff where the low bombs. I’m hoping for 1” here but it may easily be I get under 0.5” too and the 1” ends up east of the William Floyd from the east trend.

Would be fitting for it to happen on a late developer bomb on 4/16. These often shift east last minute which benefits them. I’m leaning towards it not happening for Boston but who knows. It can if the setup is right, we got heavy accumulating snow here on 4/10/96, 4/7/03 etc. Guess we’ll find out tomorrow.

I think I would projectile vomit in disgust if that happened. Luckily... NAM.

I think from perhaps my backyard east is where there's possibility for heavier over 1" rain and eastern Suffolk should definitely see amounts closer to 2" but yep, it's the typical outcome for these late developers. And needless to say LOL Nam from last night.

We're seeing the usual subtle signs that this gets going too late for us near the city and west and doesn't really blow up until it's time for SNE. Many of us could still use the rain though sp hopefully that can happen. You want to be in the Berkshires and White Mtns of NH for this one.

In all seriousness I could see there being snow in the air for most of us and some accumulation in hilly areas away from the coast but the real accums away from the Berkshires or well elevated spots over 500’ are a big stretch to me at this point. Like Don said though it’s not impossible for there to be more in an ideal setup. That is one deep closed low coming.

I’ll be waiting for that to verify with bated breath and boundless anticipation.

NAM’d!!

On another note, just saw that Bangor ME has 35.7" seasonal snow this year, 3" less than Central Park. Portland ME has 41.0" which is about what my backyard has. That's insane-roughly equivalent to Albany or Worcester coming in less than us (I think happened in 2015-16 super Nino and driven by the Nino fueled 1/23/16 megastorm). This winter seemed to have big winners and losers. Our area to much of eastern PA obviously the big winner, and NNE the big loser. Also big cutoff SW of us which is becoming more typical-12" at Dulles for the season despite averaging almost double that there. Goes to show how much we REALLY lucked out this season, some minor tweaks and this would've been another disaster "winter". Boston just 0.1" under Central Park, have to at that. Not so rare they come in less than NYC but it's maybe 1-2x per decade recently.

That won't verify, but a few days or more of crap marine layer on easterly winds most likely will. From the looks of it, hope everybody enjoyed the glorious weather this week because it looks to be garbage for quite some time in this blocky pattern.

Yes-gorgeous even with the windy conditions.

I believe it. Trees swaying a good bit the last few hours.
