Napril looks awful this year. The year with no spring 

We've experience more better Aprils than not in all honesty, going back since 2006 or 2007 ... assuming by 'better' we mean warm. For some in here, they loathe nice weather - I'm convinced of it..

Anyway, in that time span, we've had some down right whack-a-do warm Aprils.  Just last year we were 90 on Easter!  And I think back in 2009 we had a really crazy warm spring that had full green-up well underway by the first week of April ...about 2 weeks ahead of schedule.  

Going back to 2006, I recall snow events in the first couple of weeks of April, and that's (we all know this..) happened a few times spanning generations.  It's probably just as fickle a month as March for all intents and purposes ... But it's like your more likely to get a warm spell in April than any given March - duh.

Excellent. Let’s morph the chilly LR to a mild medium range and warm short range. Cold/wind in April does nobody good. 

Oh ... heh, I'm not casting an illusions to shelter perception from our plight here -

One thing we have not seen in recent years (really) is a dreaded 10 day long cut-off west Atlantic cyclone that meanders and occasionally backs cold rain and grapply wet snows in.. Back in the mid 1990s that seem to happen more frequently. I remember one year there was one that was like three weeks long and the last week it just sort of decayed and filled without ever having moved away... Not THAT is how you run a butt-boned spring... Back in 1987 we had a huge flood from cut-off that was actually close enough to bring big rain for extended period.  Anyway, it's been a while since that particular brand of the schits took place.  Other years, it's plaguing BDs with the old 84 at ALB and 42 in mist at Framingham...

She gone, I think...trough too far east.

Models are interesting for Sunday/Monday, with such a cold northerly wind and air mass with a 1045mb high in Quebec, Canada can only hope the storm materializes for one true snowstorm on the coastline, 850mb very cold for this time of the year

00z NAM digs an upper level low into the PA area come this weekend, will likely phase with the Pacific stream disturbance and create a massive nor'easter with all snow even to Nantucket, MA with 850mb below -6C

I don't really understand what your deal is and maybe it's because I'm new to the area. You seem to always think and imply that a major snowstorm is coming even when models and common sense tell everyone otherwise and when there is a big storm hitting the area you always seem to double the forecast amounts to unrealistic numbers even though not one model has them and are always wrong. Please tell me you're not an amateur forecaster. I'm not trying to be mean but seriously asking the question

Then it will take weeks of cerebral radiation from talented mets in order to send him into remission.

No im not an amateur forecaster, I'm not really into forecasting really, I love the weather with all my heart mainly into tropical weather, but I have an all around love for weather in general. I'm a writer who is trying to make it big in this world, I originally went to college for year to become an actual meteorologist but ended up going into the Air Force as a cook. Yeah and that didn't last long to be honest, I suffer from a mental illness mainly a more mild form of bipolar disorder, even medicated I tend to suffer from delusions of grandeur which is why I probably over forecast snowfall amounts on my maps, my first maps are mostly better than my second and third maps to be honest

That’s the thing......every time this season the JP was elsewhere.....it’s been a thing since Feb 2013......that time I got my prize but it’s been a long 5 yrs.....I am not about meeting average snow for the year.....I want big boys.....”glad we don’t live there” certain folks will say.....and I’d say “GFY”....this season goes in the toilet.....more than most

Other than snow showers and squalls this weekend.. that’s it for this winter. 75.3” of snow. AN for sure but because much of it fell in Morch, it took some of the fun out of it . I’ll miss the fun of storm tracking , until we get a cane this fall 

What a weenie. Enjoy any snow.

At least we can start tracking dews now. Mine is currently 22F, but if this virga gets a little bit lower it may moisten up to 25F or 26F.

I was actually hoping to see some March records broken in SNE.  It seemed like some spots were heading in that direction.  But yeah, I am guessing it's time to start thinking about lawn mower tune-ups and Kevin's Lesco Lawn talks, then on to Black Fly hate.  Awful period ahead of us.

It takes a lot of the enjoyment out of it for me personally when it falls in Morch because of the melt factor. Much better around the holidays thru Feb. I think most feel that way. That said, I’ve had significant snowpack for 2 solid weeks now. That’s hard to do in Morch

Do you make the transition to warminista DIT this weekend or next?
