Yeah 4/23 is late, but not abursedly so...we had like an inch of accumulation on this date 4 years ago. Getting some mangled graupel is cool, but it's not all that noteworthy. Even last year we had accumulating snow on 4/16. 5/18/02 and 5/6/96 are definitely far more impressive...and of course 5/26/13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Looks more like burning without a permit than a brush fire. Or maybe brush grows into pre-cut log piles...idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Do you know where Abington is? Yeah, and that isn't in Upton's area either. The photos you posted show what looks like someone burning a pile of brush. Anything will burn if you dump enough gasoline on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmanmitch Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I must indeed be a member of a rare breed if I'm one of the few people left in a forum full of winter weather enthusiasts that's enjoying this brisk, overcast, snow showery weather in late April. Too bad I can't just blink and fast forward to October 23rd. We had some pea sized hail last night with a line of convection followed by a period of upslope rain and mangled flakes. Woodford reported 3.5" and Savoy 1.2" in the ALY PNS, so I bet my plot had 3" or so. A nice batch of snow showers rolling through now with dendrites, not that heavily rimed styrofoam stuff (aka graupel) that we had earlier. Impressive.

In addition to what you wrote, I would add backdoor fronts, sheet drizzle, gales from due east, and low cloud/foggy/raw days. After the winter months, my second favorite time of the year.
