April nor'easter to unload feet of snow in northern New England, New York

A strengthening April storm with staying power will deliver days of snow, rain and strong winds to the Northeast with significant travel disruptions and widespread power outage likely this week.A powerful and long-lasting April nor’easter could end up being one of the biggest snowstorms of the winter for portions of northern New England and northern New York,meteorologists warn.

As one part of the storm from the Midwest weakens, a new storm will develop along the coast. Instead of this storm continuing to head out to sea, it will creep slowly northward along the New England coast during the middle and latter parts of this week. The storm has the potential to produce snowfall exceeding that from a storm a little over a week ago that dropped 1-2 feet of snow from Vermont to northern Maine. The storm this week, because of its extended duration, could bring general snowfall of 2 feet with an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ of 3 feet.Major impacts to include flooding, power outages and travel problems

The combination of wet, clinging snow in the northern part of the storm, with the emergence of some buds on the trees and high winds within and outside of the snow area, will likely trigger the damage. Some neighborhoods may be without power for days as streets and secondary roads may be clogged with heavy, wet snow as well as fallen trees and limbs.

"Persistent, strong northeast winds during the storm in central and northern New England will trigger a great deal of coastal flooding problems," Lundberg added. From the middle of the week to Saturday, cold, gusty winds will make it feel more like February rather than early April in many cases. Northwest winds on the storm's backside will average 15-30 mph, with gusts of 40-45 mph common and occasionally higher.
