I'm talking 8 days from now

Probably can't rule out some snow showers just behind the front but the front is looking pretty weak and not much in the way of colder air with that. This may very well be the final snow for just about everyone except up north.

51 Aprils up here and 51 Aprils it has snowed. 

28 Aprils here, one (2009) had nary a trace and 2 others had only traces.  At the other end, April 2007 had 37.2" - even Fort Kent never had that much.  Average is 5".  At Gardiner, 13 Aprils included one (1991) with zippo and another with but a trace, average 5.4".  Fort Kent April average was 11" and all 3 Aprils at BGR had measurable snow.  In fact, both 73-74 and 74-75 had their biggest snowfalls in April, with the 12.0" storm of 4/3-5/75 being the biggest of our BGR winters and the April average was 9".

Maine totals for 54 years:  2 without a trace, 4 with only traces, 48 with measurable, average 6.2".

Snow staying south so far.  GYX says the CF passage with whiten things later today.

We did that coming back from Japan in 2016.  Flying west, it took 8 hours for 3,600 miles, Honolulu-Tokyo.  Returning Tokyo to SF, 5,200 miles, also 8 hours.  According to the tracker, we reached 801 mph ground speed while over the Pacific.

I wasn't in Methuen, then....I got 31" in Wilmington using the 6-hour clear method, but peak depth was 25", which is the total that they went with.
