Ian Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 What date?. .2" on the 4th and 3.8" on the 6-7th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clueless Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Last time we got a snow so good into the city in late Mar was 1990. A tiny bit more fell in April in the city. Our last three accum came on the 7th tho so it's maybe a false signal. . No 1"+ storms since 1924 so I'd be kinda bearish. Could be a fun target though.. 1924? Things have changed. 1990 was nice. Lasted 5 seconds. Although if there remains a threat, it would be a big splash for the local mets. Unless DPRK decides to lob some junk at us. Then forget the weather.

Bob Chill Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Favorable snow air masses behind fronts on the cp and lower elev piedmont in April have about a 15 minute window as long as the sun isn't above the horizon. I guess it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midatlanticweather Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 heh, I've been watching. Let's be honest with ourselves here. April snow requires luck,timing, perfection, and everything else that you can think of. I'll have little to say until we're inside of 84 at least. Prob more like 72. A bird fart can screw this one up. LOL - Like that is not every scenario around here! Maybe in winter it is a dog fart, but seriously - we are always trying to get things perfect. Where as n Boston a bird farts and you get a foot of snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 From the Wunder maps, the Euro is similar to the 18z GFS. It's drier, shock, and warmer at the surface, shock, but it looks like a similar setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that storm well. Rec'd 6+" in Warren Co (~ 1100'). Early evening rain that tuned to snow overnight. It was pretty elevation dependent as I remember driving through Front Royal on my way to work in Middletown and being in awe as to the difference in accumulation. By the time I got to Middletown there was next to nothing. I'd just started working for that company less than 2 months earlier and had to answer questions as to why I was late. I told them I was late due to the snow and I don't think too many people believed me. Somewhere I have pictures of that snow. It was the heaviest, lumpiest snow you could imagine. If I can find the pics I'll scan and post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
