>>”The best setup for a nor’easter with heavy snow and wind will be in New England,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Bernie Rayno said. Many areas in southeastern New England will receive a moderate to heavy snow fall, on the order of 6 inches or perhaps more, which spans Sundaya night into Monday morning. Locally heavy snow is possible on central and eastern Long Island as well. How much snow falls will depend on how strong the storm becomes. The Monday morning commute could be quite wintry in much of New England.
I remember one time a storm hit Mar 31 into Apr 1 here in Boston area—close to 2 feet of snow. Many ballgames postpones in northeast, etc.; but the snow melted fairly quickly. We have had very little snow this year; last year it was about 107”; this year maybe 25” so far per season. Usual is about 42” per season.
I remember that storm well - we got three feet in the hills northwest of Boston. It was the heaviest and wettest snow I ever recall. I couldn't plow our gravel driveway as the ground had thawed. With me missus unable to make it home, the dog and I holed up in the house for three days reenacting The Shining while we waited for the snow to melt.
I’m going to encourage my niece to work from home on Monday.
That April Fools Day storm was in 1997.
Brutal————but gone quickly.
