midatlanticweather Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Year without a spring? Crazy stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I can't find any Aprils in this area that had more than one accumulating snowfall. Which makes sense, as it takes such a fluke event to get one. What models are showing is really unprecedented, which should cast a lot of doubt on the solutions being offered. Would sure like to see that Saturday event hold, and hopefully time up better with darkness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is by late April we will be sweltering. There are no more years like 1816. We never need a sweater in June. Even May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's verbatim though. It's April and marginal...but man..that 156 panel verbatim would be heavy heavy snow. 31 at the surface and upstairs is marginal, but all snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobalt Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 To my noob eyes, looks like low takes too long to transfer off the coast? Still, wildly impressive run for any month of the year. Kuchera is 9" for D.C. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozz Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Awesome run, but like others said, we're really fighting climatology here. This just doesn't happen over a week into April. It will probably be just as rare as the October 2011 storm if anything close to it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your 100% correct If that happens verbatim that's a historic snow storm. Too bad it's still 6 days away. Even if you cut the totals in half that's still historic for April 8th.

Cobalt Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Historic. No other way to say it. That run would be historic. Ok I’m done. What I like to see is that even the rainy solutions (12z GFS for example) start out as snow. Any event starting out as snow and not having to wait for temps to crash in April would be insane..

MN Transplant Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 850s on the 18z GFS are nuts. -10 at 18z the day that the storm begins. Perfect reinforcing blow on Friday into Saturday. Too bad the 850 low tracks a bit too far north. I like pretend snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showmethesnow Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Been keeping kind of quite on this and basically watching because we are talking early to mid April after all. But we are now looking inside 7 days now and the signal continues to get stronger. The EPS snowfall means through 10 days is an eye opener for sure. Give me e14 or even e29 and I would happily call it quits on winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt we have a lot of wild solutions on the op runs next couple days. 18z was near perfect for this time of year. Had that 850 tracked to S KY it would have been a run for the ages.
