Exactly.. It's not unusual but its special since its not common and harder to happen.
Number of times 1" or more snow fell in April
NYC only 3 times since 1965
Bridgeport: 3 times last 18 yrs. Normal is 0 times.
Albany happens once every 1-2 yrs. Normal is 1 time.
Pittsburgh only 3 times since 1992
Burlington Vermont 1 or 2 times in April they get 1"+
If you bump it up to 2" snow in April obviously its less. Even north of 41N.
True.....I guess I'm speaking mostly of the yearly early April snowfalls that seem to affect MN/Wisconsin/Michigan/Upstate NY/VT/NH/ME. Every single year I see posts like this from people in those areas:
"SNOW IN APRIL???!!! How unusual".......Snow in April this part of the country is not unusual, especially the early part of the month. Now an April blizzard is unusual. I say bring it on.
Not surprising. Here in Ohio it isn't unheard of to get snow in April. In fact in 2005 we got dumped on with several inches in late April, when the weekend before we had 80 degree weather. I just hope that this one bypasses us. It's snowing here right now, and quite frankly after this winter and how bitter cold it was again, I'm done!

lol. I think it's the fact that it doesn't happen every year or other year EVEN for those areas.
Concord NH 2" snowfalls in April don't happen all the time. Only a handful in last 2 decades.
Also the fact that how many snow "storms" do we actually track in April? Not every year.
Another way to look at it... March snow is not uncommon either yet look at how interesting it was with all the record or Top 10 snowfalls (daily and monthly).
So IF...IF any snow falls in April, we'll have to see how it pars up with the rarity of it.
Speaking of the Euro. Latest 12z Bombs away! That's the other thing... how many "big" storms have we had past couple months? Not many if any.
983mb low Saturday April 4th. 850s at 14C there over Long Island, warm morning up and down the East. ... Assuming by this Michigan gets hammered with snow.
Hang on..
NOPE... Even Detroit starts off with a ton of rain but then temps crash on all levels with moisture still around so changes to snow. That's April/Spring for you.

Concord got a foot of snow in 2003 and 2007. Most years get nothing, or close to nothing (<2) and then a few years get a lot. Very skewed distribution.

Both those yrs on the 4th and 5th of April. And models showing a storm on the 4th and 5th this year? Weird.
2007 I got rain from that storm and a trace on the backend of it as the colder air filtered in.
Concord got 5.2" on April 29th 1987. That must of been awesome time to track the storm. Exciting. That was the latest date with over 5" of snow. I was just starting to watch TWC around then and was hooked. lol
Normal April snow is 2.8" in Concord.
I wonder how Toronto and Montreal numbers look. I would assume April snow is more common there than New England.

I was just reading that normal April snowfall in Montreal is about 11 cm. Toronto would be less than that.

Thanks for that! So 4.3". And thanks for stopping in. Hope to see more weather posts from you. If you're in Canada I would keep an eye on this Easter Weekend storm too.
Looking into forecast for Easter in NJ (where I'm flying into) and it will be mostly rain and slightly below average temps. Where is this snow coming from?
