April Snowstorm Part 2

Here's a closer look at climate data, so we can understand how abnormal (or not) this April snowstorm was in CT.



This image from the National Weather Service in Albany shows snow totals from the storm. Highest totals were around half a foot.

These data show the latest day in the calendar year when an inch or more of snow was recorded at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, CT. May 5 is the latest.

And here's a look at the maximum 1 day snowfall at Bradley on days later than April first.

So while this storm certainly was abnormal, it's not unheard of to get snow in New England this late in the year, as Bradley saw 14 inches on April 6, 1982!
