I don't recall the year, but there was a big low that retrograded SW from the NE and produced 2-3" here in early April. It occurred in the evening until about midnight, and by morning it was mostly melted. That is the only one that I can remember with actual accumulating snow in early April since I have lived in the lowlands. Possible that big low over NE suppresses a southern stream storm if one can form. It might leave enough room for us to get hit although it's a difficult setup for this time of year.

April 9,1996, in the winter that would not end, saw snow for a large part of the day. Sometimes heavy. Hard to forget since I was getting married that upcoming Saturday. Despite good intensity and duration no real accumulation around the city and Fairfax. But I do seem to recall Dulles may have gotten around 3 inches.

CAPE Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Yeah this is the one I was thinking of- the April 9 1996 storm. Good call TJ3. SE NJ got pummeled. My area got enough of those fringe snow bands to pick up a couple inches that evening. http://www.raymondcmartinjr.com/weather/1996/09-Apr-96.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got 4 - 4.5" Yeah I saw that. Brings 1-2" through my yard verbatim. Next week sure does look interesting at 500 mb. Something could track underneath, but it would have to fall at night to snow and stick unless there is a wound up paste bomb or something. More than likely it just ends up chilly with some rain/snow showers at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 April 7, 2007 I had 3.5 inches at dawn. I took a cab to Dulles around 6am. By the time we got to 28 in Centerville there was barely any snow. It was basically a southern Prince William, Northern Stafford and Fauquier County event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I'm ready for warmth but the extended winter doesn't bother me because I know the warm season will come soon no matter what. If we get an extra month of cold weather big deal it will be warm May through September regardless of pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always have outside projects to do this time of year, and its nice if it is still chilly as there wont be tons of wasps congregating and flying around, and he carpenter bees wont show up early. Spring mosquitoes also wont come out too soon and I can methodically eradicate the larvae. One warm week in April and its all accelerated and everything goes to hell. Yeah, its mostly about the damn bugs for me, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also several examples in the (Ludlum) books covering 1600s - 1900. Palm Sunday storm was Mar 30th I believe Does anyone remember April 23, 1986? We had about 2 inches on the grass in Charles County, MD. It was my birthday. I'll never forget when it snowed on my birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
