Well folks, the April Appalachian snow is underway. Conditions were terrible this morning on Chickaree Mountain (above Johnstown, PA) per this cam shot from PA511.org:

Snow fell at high points as far south as Mount Leconte, Tennessee, and Laurel Summit, PA was reporting 13.5 inches as of noon Monday. As forecast, this was a very elevation-dependent event. While AccuWeather HQ had bare ground this morning, just a couple of miles away in Pine Grove Mills, everything was white, including the mountain. Here are a few pictures I snapped:

You can watch the snow disappear as I drive down the mountain and out into the fields in this mobile timelapse video. This is about 5.5 miles of road, or about 4 miles “as the crow flies”:
