Several hours of flurries here today. It has felt like late February all day today.

Prob irrelevant at this stage what the snow maps say....but there is potential just looking at the synoptics on the mean

That’s accumulating interior snow with a robust system.

Thats an impressive ensemble mean - let alone for late April. 

We just hope for a dynamic solution, otherwise its meh

    At this point, you have to cheer on something fun. I don’t expect it here, but you’d think someone like Dave has room for something over the next 7-10 days. It sounds crazy, but look at the pattern.

Would think it’s crazy but I remember May 1977 so anything can happen.

Yeah you'll need some really solid dynamics and good rates. Getting 3 quarters of an inch of qpf over 10 hours won't cut it. We need that in 4-5 hours.

Otherwise it's probably a slushy C-2" over higher terrain....still notable for so late, but not that crazy. Advisory amounts or better would be much more historic.

Pretty wild day up in Pittsburg. 21F daytime high (so far), 25F midnight high. Theyve picked up like another 3" just this afternoon.

I’d like to see it. In this pattern , there’s some truth/potential to it

Looks better once we get past this mostly garbage stretch. Hopefully no more snow, that's key.

Just like snow storms this winter I fear the warm weather is always 10 days away.

Since when can we do animated gifs for the avatar, I just noticed Dr dews. Is this a new feature?

Id love to get an early may snow storm here, I don't think it's ever been done on record.... Probably would be just as anomalous as Oct 29th.

Made it through the day with a high of 29. Currently 28 with moderate snow

So over this wx. Never hit 40F today. Didn't even venture outside. Looks like stove getting lit again tonight. I had a pretty big pile of wood left in the garage a few weeks ago thinking I wasn't going to use it till next season, but it's almost gone now.

Yeah, I have only been doing a fire or two a week but tonight is a good night.  I am heading into the summer with the least amount of wood supply I’ve ever had.  Luckily it should be readily available at an OK price.

High of 46 today..

Finally tapering to just scattered wind-blown flurries.

MVL ASOS getting up to 34F now that the snow has largely shut off... the high for the day.  The persistent light precip certainly kept temps down.

What a way to run a winter day in late April... 12 hours of snow showers.

[powderfreak]

What a fukkin' sunset... Earth Day special from Mother Nature.

[dryslot]

Hope the EPS loses that look, Its going to be May for christ sake.

We had that yesterday. Still getting snow tonight, seems never ending

Nice on the snow, ha.  It shut down quickly here when the drier mid-level air moved in from the west and skies became broken pretty fast.  Crazy day, full winter to nice sunset.  Weird having the sun set so late in the day after a day and so far north on the horizon with that type of weather today.

Congrats. Cold belly to belly

We were supposed to start our golf league today, we didn't because the course is closed but it would have been miserable to play in with the wind, still burning my wood stove and we're coming up on May.

[codfishsnowman]

Felt like early March today with the strong winds and scattered flurries...not bad for April 22

Well taht bodes well to get some sun tomorrow. Pretty annoying to have such a wintry day this late in the season. It’s been snowing - and below freezing - for well over 24 hours. The “wintry appeal” is great from November to March. In late April, I’d rather have a Spring appeal

We tried to tell ya...over and over again.

Gonna’ snow for some in the next week.  I like interesting weather!

[Damage In Tolland]

Euro is snowy. FV3 is rainy 

[CoastalWx]

It might be ticking north on guidance. Could just be a cold rain for many. EPS is decent but a little north from yesterday.
