I was thinking about the Palm Sunday storm in late March....I think 1942....just because it was so late and it dumped a lot of snow....

Good call. Yeah at the end of March. I am surprised it isnt in Kocin's book

but found this on the storm

March 29-30, 1942: The Palm Sunday Snowstorm was another seasonal late comer. Baltimore received its greatest snow in 20 years with 22 inches measured. Washington recorded 12 inches. Hagerstown recorded 22 inches in 24 hours.

It definitely is in Kocin's book--- see Volume I.

This is one of DC's most famous snowstorms, with more than a foot in higher elevations in the city proper and 25-30+" amounts from northern MD into State College, PA... inverted trough, with PHL and NYC getting almost all rain.

The surface low at 36 hrs is farther off the coast so unless it redevelops closer to the 850 low, this run probably will not be as wet as the last.

If the globals are to be believed as far as temps and the over-amplification, would a track farther offshore be somewhat beneficial in keeping the 540 line somewhat more supressed?
