poolz1 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 1.3" with a little light rain falling now. Really impressive for 4/18. I honestly don't know if I have seen accumulating snow this late in the season. During the day no less. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormchaserChuck! Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Today's storm is just EPO, -EPO with a slight trough over water south of it, it's not even NAO.. NAO is + actually with ridge over northern Europe. I keep saying this. We are getting our best winter storms in +NAO. (I think the issue is a normal -NAO goes +600dm-900dm, to extreme for average kind of a thing). Or it could be the 50/50 low theorem, where you have a low pressure parked to the north Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 4 hours ago, SnowenOutThere said: #perfect track rainstorm (for most of us anyways). Do you think some of the further east locations could of gotten something if this happened at 4am instead of near peak sun influence? At the very least the locations getting snow would probably have a couple inches of snow by this point. This actually wasn’t a perfect synoptic setup. The coastal is developing pretty late and tracking on the western edge of what’s likely to produce snow in DC even in winter. The upper low is also tracking further NW than ideal. However, given the anomalously cold airmass if you transcribe the same setup into winter and it would have been a god storm but still better NW then in the cities. But had the surface low developed a little further south and had this been overnight I think this airmass was anomalously cold to see some slushy accumulation even into the metro areas. Alas it didn’t all come together. Shame because it’s rare to even get the chance to see snow this late. It takes both a rare once a decade type April cold airmass and for a perfect synoptic setup. We got 1 and almost the other. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I might have heard a few sleet pellets against the windows this morning but it wasn't enough to get me up to look. Guessing that's what happened given the Columbia report from earlier.

WinterWxLuvr Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I thought it but didn’t say it, but I think LWX was unwise to seemingly disregard the majority of guidance that I had access to. Most showed pretty much exactly what happened out here. I know it’s April, but so do the models. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
