ORH_wxman Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 April 1st? You'll have to say "April" rather than specifically "April 1st"....all everyone around here ever mentions when you mention April 1st weather is the 1997 storm. Although most people forget the exact year. They always say something like "remember that huge one on April Fools day like 10 years ago?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's that 1982 April Ku also...lol I'm just kind of referencing I think the largest element of a threat that could go wrong is general climo.

OSUmetstud Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 It had better snow because this is absolutely terrible. agreed...I'm of the general mindset it's going to be chilly for at least the next 7-10 days so it might as well snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep blue skies and warm sunshing, early spring at its finest, noticed okx keeps increasing daytimes highs over the next 7 days. Upper 40s now next week and sunny, by that time with this sun that will be easily mid 50s. Time to light the pit. Have a fantastic weekend everyone, what a classic its going to be sun sun sun!!

Do remember that band on radar over the area? I think you could even decipher little ripples in the echoes that lined up with the terrain. I still remember that. I remember David Brown came on the air that morning talking about the 20" down there. I thought no way, but then I saw a pic from Foster on TV.

CoastalWx Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I'll never forget the sound of transformers beginning to fail as well. There was that loud droning sound with constant flickers. By the way Will, I had a nice chat with meteotrade about 4/28/87. He said remembers Burbank drawing the flakes on the screen over central mass in the weather cast and couldn't believe it...remember back then they had to draw or post those icons. He remembers walking home from school in the middle of the storm and couldn't believe how fast it piled up (this was in Hubbardston). He lost power for several days in that storm.

OSUmetstud Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 There's 5 significant late season snowfalls in the KU book....April 1915, April 1982, April 1996, April 1997, and May 1977. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 The April 6, 1982 KU was the most impressive from 4/1 -> IMO because it was like a mid Winter storm (at least inland). Dry blowing snow and 20F at noon. That is just crazy anomalous. So if you are quantifying them by more than just max. snowfall then that storm was more freakish than 4/1/97. There's that 1982 April Ku also...lol I'm just kind of referencing I think the largest element of a threat that could go wrong is general climo.

There's several others not in the KU book but were pretty significant over the interior....the previously mentioned April 1987 is one of them. I know both April 1956 and 1958 had significant interior events. 1967, 1971, and 1972 all had pretty sizable events as well. Those are all events over 7" I believe at the airport. I recall many moderate 3-5" April events too in the past 20 years, but those are certainly not as exciting. We've definitely been in an April drought though this past decade.

ski MRG Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 those aren't snow showers they're snow flurries Actually Tip they were much more than flurries. lol See post below Had those come through here - very convective in nature with dark, billowing cumiliform clouds. Heaviest snow squall of the season by far came thru Lenox around 12:30 PM with white out conditions and visibility down to around 200 yards or so. People were nervously breaking and had their flashers on while driving US 7&20 near town at the height of the squall. It was short lived and only briefly whitened ground before moving out. Man I wish I had my camera. Hi Mitch. It was really wild at times with a steady -sn punctuated with some very heavy squall action @ 2k. Nice little surprise refresher on the snowpack.

Logan11 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Well my father was a wx weenie long before I was around. LOL and when anyone would bring up late season snow....the 1956 story began again. so maybe those events weren't individually big enough to make that top five, but apparently it was one storm after another and even something around Memorial Day in the Catskills. We could ask Jerry....though he was Downstate at the time. There's several others not in the KU book but were pretty significant over the interior....the previously mentioned April 1987 is one of them. I know both April 1956 and 1958 had significant interior events. 1967, 1971, and 1972 all had pretty sizable events as well. Those are all events over 7" I believe at the airport.

Logan11 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 We had a nice period of squalls this morning leave a solid quarter inch. Then the sun came out and removed it in about 30 minutes time. .... But the actual air temperature only hit 30F today and down to 27 now. Actually Tip they were much more than flurries. lol See post below Hi Mitch. It was really wild at times with a steady -sn punctuated with some very heavy squall action @ 2k. Nice little surprise refresher on the snowpack.
