CoastalWx Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Haha. That pic is great. Look at that road though. Looks like January. No sign of wet slushy crap. Straight up snow covered and icy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Haha. That pic is great. Look at that road though. Looks like January. No sign of wet slushy crap. Straight up snow covered and icy. That was in Belmont, MA too...not even ORH where I didn't live until the late '80s. So basically no elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowgeek Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I'm guessing 1/2" here. Was all gone except for a smidge in shaded areas at 10:00 am when I woke up. Up to 9.3" or so here for the winter lol. Albany finds a way not to snow again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Sorry for the OT, but on my date today, this chick was telling me that she arrived at Logan from her vaca in MX like 5 years ago to a substantial snowfall across MA in MAY.......now, the date was going swimmingly, so it was all I could do not to argue with her and derail the whole experience. I politely suggested that she may have been mistaken, but then dropped it after she sustained her position. Is it me, or was she hallucinating?

CoastalWx Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 May 2011? In MA? I don't recall any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Not 5 years ago I mean, we had SOME in May 2002....but she wasn't even born in 1977, so she was on "E", or something.... She also mentioned the October even on her bday, which is going on five years, so I think that is what she mean originally, and did not want to admit it.

weathafella Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 People don't have good wx memories unless they're weenies like us. Let it go....I've had too many arguments over seemingly trivial utterances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Oh yeah, no way we'll match that, lol. I think we had two record lows in '82 as well...not just record low maxes. There's very little precedent for something like what happened in '82 in April...it basically stands alone. NYC's only true powder snowfall in April, most falling at low-mid 20s. Other significant April snow there all came at temps within a few degrees of 32. Also the greatest positive bust I'll ever see. CAR's evening update on 4/6/82 added flurries to the previous cloudy/windy. They ended with 26.4" of flurries. In Ft. Kent I "measured" only 17", the quotes due to the winds gusting near 60 making actual measurement impossible. Most fell with low teens for temps. In terms of its effect on daily routine, that event is exceeded in my experience only by the ice storms of 1/53 and 1/98, and maybe the snowstorm of 2/3-4/61.
