famartin Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Raleigh got 2" on 4/18/83...we have plenty of time... Not sure that snow was ever all on the ground at once... 18Z snow depth that day was 0, 0Z snow depth was trace, and midnight snow depth was back to 0. The 1.8" carries an "E" next to it with a remark "estimated due to melting". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymengineer Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Someone told me Snowgoose in NYC said it never happens south of Philly, but I know that's not correct. 3/29/42 was an extreme precip example of an inverted trough (that DC, Baltimore up through central PA got in on 12-30" while Philly and NYC were mostly light non-accumulating shows the narrow band extending NNW inland). I don't know if that was a Norlun..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I remember it snowed on Opening Day in the mid-2000's in Baltimore. It was actually a convective snow shower on a CAA day if I remember correctly. I'm gonna say... 2006? I remember a storm (this is in the Philly area at that point) around 2000 or so in which it was 70 on a Saturday, woke up the next morning and there was 1-2" of snow on the ground 4/9/2000. Epic burst of heavy snow with a frontal wave riding up the front just after it passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ers-wxman1 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 april 1 1997, i was going to school 20 minutes west of boston. Insane heavy paste snow, it also snowed for about 30 hours. I remember hearing the forecast the night before and thinking it was an April Fools Day joke on the radio, it had been about 70 degrees a day earlier. That is EXACTLY how my boss said it happened. He was working at the Taunton office at the time. He said it snowed do hard it was scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakes Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 not surprised I was wrong on that....time freakin' flies as you get old! Yes time does fly the older you get, however 1997 was the last time the O's won the AL East ( wire to wire ) and that seems like an eternity ago.

famartin Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 No idea why it says season finale. We thought that in early Feb. We are a snow town anyways. Models are suggesting the pattern changes after the bomb. Which isn't uncommon, they tend to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A term you don't hear that often especially in Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakes Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 4/9/00? That was rain to snow after a 40+ degree drop in temps behind a front. Montgomery County, MD was 1-2" generally (1.5" in a Potomac), but I'm not sure anywhere got up to 5". I got about an inch. Very powerful front. Up towards Philly may have got more like 2-4. Don't remember any 5 inch amounts anywhere in the region either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Chaos Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Early April 2000 is another interesting day for spring snow storms in NY/New England - got 16" after a 89F day the day before near Albany, NY in early April, only a few days off of April 1st. Remember shivering my way back from campus at about 2am with snow on the ground already and everyone in shorts and short sleeve shirts. I wasn't following weather back then the way I do now, so I don't recall the evolution of that storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needbiggerboat Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 This year "it" has just continued to find ways to snow. The anti 97-98, if you will. Wouldn't be shocked to see snow this week and again next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GD0815 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 That is EXACTLY how my boss said it happened. He was working at the Taunton office at the time. He said it snowed do hard it was scary. In my 8 years in boston it was definitely the hardest snow I ever saw over a prolonged period. We even lost some qpf to rain in the beginning and still ended up with those crazy totals.

If the euro ens are catching on to that then it looks like the pattern change will go from having no real -nao all winter to a real -nao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Didn't see it mentioned unless I missed it. Rgem has a nice .25-.30 stripe through dc and due north over my yard up to the m/d by 2pm tues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 can't completely rule it out.. especially NW but I certainly wouldn't expect more than dusting or so IMBY once April starts. we're about to enter needing -30 departures during the day for anything meaningful heh. we have seen very light april snow more recently like in 2007. that may have been close to 1" in this part of DC.. wasn't here for that one, but dropped 0.4" at DCA. it does figure we'll get an -NAO too late, not that we needed it.. but maybe it can help screw up severe weather season by locking in. It was 0.5" in MTP...I was up for the whole thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakes Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 It was 0.5" in MTP...I was up for the whole thing I think the eastern shore got a couples inches if not more in a few places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 After seeing the nam and rgem + the gfs to a lesser extent show the same narrow stripe of decent qpf I'm becoming pretty intrigued. The rgem shows a relatively stationary band for 6 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rgem shows a relatively stationary band for 6 hours. It looks like precip develops before this main band and spreads over the area then the main band of heavier steady precip develops right over us and stays in place as you said for up to 6 hours. How narrow and how intense the band is will determine who gets a couple inches of slop. Should be another cool event just for the time of year if nothing else.

The rgem shows a relatively stationary band for 6 hours. Yeah, wouldn't be surprised for wet 1"-2" on grass. But we need rates. Hope models are correct with the axis of heavier precip.

SLPressure Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 There is no such thing. Actually the Philly forum is slow right now so I've been stopping by. This place is a bit saner than NYC. Been away all day. Sorry for the banter. Everything else has been discussed and digested pretty thoroughly up to now. Just struck me as funny.

If not it's snow t.v. Pretty nice frontogenesis as Ian pointed out earlier. Combine that with a decent vort pass and it could be bursty in nature. Could be a couple bands too. I'm not all that worried about accums yet. We can dig in tomorrow if the feature holds serve. It's pretty small and kinda funny that we might be in the crosshairs. We're like a snowmagnet and stuff.
