4/87 is vaguely in my memory ..probably because it was nothing where I was. However my co-worker told me about the S+ on his way to school in Lowell that day. Pretty awesome for lower elevations. Supposedly Barry Burbank went for it as well. Good call on his part.

 

There was a lot of thundersnow in that around ORH...it was like 3-4" per hour at 3pm in late April...hard to do . :lol:

That's incredible. Wow. To do that in late April....Yeesh. At least the 80s had a few late season events that were pretty cool, amid a horrible decade.

i was 14 at the time and fishing a small pond near home catching bullheads and sunfish in the cold rainy weather that day and i remember for awhile in the mid to late afternoon when the precip got heavier sleet and chunks of wet snow mixed in, it even briefly changed to all snow for twent minutes or so....i remember hearing on the news that night that worcestor was crushed and i thought they were lucky

One of the few decent winters that decade. Though pretty frustrating right on the coast. But just 10-15 miles inland had a pretty big year.

 

But yeah, the '80s had that storm, Mar 28-29, 1984 and of course April 1982. Even a snow event in May 1986. We also had a half decent event on April 9, 1989 of about 5"...horrific snow year but a good finish...I was in Holden, MA for that one and a couple weeks earlier we had like 8-10" on Mar 24-25, 1989 when all rain was forecasted (even ORH didn't do nearly as well as we did in N Holden at 1000 feet). Still the worst winter of my life, but it could have been that much worse without those two events. '94-'95 is a close 2nd.

Boston had S+ too I think.

Classic spring event...  It was 33 and snowy all morning long.. . Event moves off, sun comes out brilliantly... temps bolt to 43F, roads steaming away .. .now just sort of blah with partly cloudy self destruction strata.  But no trace in the roads is snowed 3" around here, and even on the actual snow banks, it's fractured and dwindling.  

 

Love it!  

 

I'm hoping the Euro's 120 hour surface chart holds.  It may only be one day, but that could be the first 60+F of the year if that sets up that way. +5C at 850mb in warm sector, with manageable RH at 850 and 700 suggests some sun, and WSW winds keeping any oceanic contamination at bay.  Post vernal sun?  Yah, that's 62F at Hanscom Field and down in toward Cambridge.  Unfortunately, this is the most optimistic solution I have seen.  Seems the oper. GFS has dirty dirt in mind.

saw 1.7 for west springfield and was confused then i saw 9am and figured it was measured once 

Hopefully people measured at least twice, because there was only about 1.7 or so on the ground vs the cumulative measurement. Seems like a few totals on the PNS were a ruler through compacting snow.

You guys do that at the end of almost every storm thread. It was under like 10 posts too. If it makes you happy I'll move them.
