We didn't have many October snow events in the 1970-1990s...in fact I think we had 0 in the 1990s. We had one in the 1980s (Oct 4, 1988...though out near NY State border they also had 10/4/87) and one in the 1970s (Oct 10, 1979)....but we had 5 in the 1960s. Its probably mostly random, but there might be a connection to decadal NAO phase?

We have definitely increased the 18"+ storms by a lot recently starting with the 1992-1993 winter.

I'd love to see the W.E. equivalents on the snow.

We've been saying this for years and yet some people believe that just because they have applied the first chemical bath of LESCO in a euro g-string mankini that no more snow can fall. Fortunately, as history tells us, this is simply not the case. Not trying to single any one misguided soul out of course.

:lmao:

The weeklies do have the warmest anomalies it seems across the Plains which goes along with what Brian said. It supports mean troughing near and especially well SE of SNE. It's not the most classic looking pattern since the mean trough is pretty far southeast of us, but being a weekly smoothed product..it probably would spell out low pressure moving nearby this area in some shape or form.

Looks to me like most of the rains are all south of us over the mid atl and SE leaving us dry with w/nw flow and normal to above with continued forest fires as we move thru April 10

LOL, you are hillside so you better watch out for your home.

The Sunday storm may not be much at all. I think the pattern won't be all that dry going forward, but I don't see the Sultan signal for Steve quite yet.

LOL.. I don't think forest fires can generate when it is 48-52 degrees and lows in the 20s.

But you're the WOTY.. you're probably right.

Was going to apply my Lesco dimension tomrorow...naked of course.

Same here, lol.

Kind of cool, I have to admit, in past years tending to the seedlings while snow is falling outside.

Question - do people up in New England seem surprised when it snows in April, or do they understand it can happen? Some people here will act shocked even though it has happened here before.

I am not surprised and typically expect it up here, I can't speak for the folks in Southern NE but we have had many years with April snows, Last year was one of them

April kind of looks more and more interesting imo.

Euro ensembles def looked fairly weenie-ish...Mar 29 got a lot colder. Still looks decent for something around Apr 1-2 as well....and really right to the end of the run for 4/6 and beyond it has a pattern that could produce a late snow...it seems to reload the ridge back to the west in the rockies after the initial plains ridge (that helps the 3/29-4/2 setup) damps out as it comes east.

Check out the ridging up by AK too. LOL, funny that it tries to retirn in April....well at least if the models are right. It's funny that following the march 1998 torch, interior areas of PA had an elevation snowbomb right before Easter. I doubt people expected that, 8-9 days after temps were in the 80s.

Unreal...all win ter you giv e up..and now April comes and your're throwing snow chances out like Halloween candy..lol

Spin doctor,

No chances thrown out like candy, but I don't see a reason that high elevations should just give up on even a little snowfall. I'm going by what I see on the models. No imminent threat, but the pattern could support it...that's all we are saying.
