Finally starting to feel like Summer today. May was just an awful month around here... cool temps with nearly 6" of rain. CLE finished May -3.3 with 5.30" of rain.

36F to 75F so far. Top 10’er. Hell, top 3’er this season.

I had about normal snowfall in 82-83, in large part thanks to the Megalopolis system.

82-83 was 34.6" here, one of the better one's in the 80's. 97-98 is the 2nd worst snow winter of my lifetime with 5.5" Only 01-02 with 4" has been worse.

Couldn’t see across the lake on my commute this morning. Conditions are improving already thank goodness.

82-83 and 97-98 are what I think of when I think of a very strong El Niño winter in the Midwest. I actually had quite a bit of wet 32F snow in 15-16, it just always started melting shortly after it fell. 15-16 was missing the “dry” part of a strong Nino around here.

1997 was a nice summer. There hasn't been a summer at New York City within 1F of it since 2009 (by mean temperature). By contrast, 1996 was even cooler, 1992 was nearly 1F cooler, and 2000 was cooler. So it's not like the 90s and early 2000s were wall-to-wall hot. And this is using the Central Park record, which has recent summers generally somewhat cooler than most observational sites around NYC.

and then july happens and the dewpoint is 78

Today has my vote for nicest of the year.

Late nooners: 75 and hazy I miss @Bubbler86’s late nooners. I mean his weather reports, not the other kind!

There were some slow moving storms and a bit of training in central Larimer and my area was put under a FF Warning due to the risk of burn scar flooding. A couple of miles north of me between 1.5"-2" dropped, however at my house I only clocked .04". I'm ok with that as May was very good for me, and thankfully there was no significant flooding from all of that rain falling over the Miller Fork in the burn scar. A couple of years ago, receiving as little as a quarter inch resulted in washed out roads.

Up to 78 here - nicest day sine May 17th

You guys in NJ can keep the heat, I'm hoping the south wind is ferocious and even bends a little bit SSE.

This is my favorite bear sleeping in the woods video, from Vermont last summer. You need the sound up for it to be best appreciated. I feel like I am a 12 year old for enjoying it so much.

We had a nice storm pop up last night and run right over the house just before I got home. We got a quick tenth of an inch which was welcome as June had been so dry so far- other than the shower yesterday morning too.

Super cool! Ill raise you one... I usually am only out of town for 4 days or so during winter when I take a trip north. If it snows during one of those days, depending on the circumstances I have a couple different people on standby. If its a general snowfall with low wind, I use one person to come to my house and use my snow board, but if its one of those squally lake events, I have a more skilled person nearby and use their measurement. I also look at my ring camera to see if i approve.

Looks like south and northwest were the winners this time. We had 0.60". From COCORAHS

Its extremely rare that I agree w/ TCC on anything, but I do on this one. Jan 1999 was an incredible stretch locally. PLUS...this came after multiple anemic winters. We didnt see a double digit snow depth from Feb 1994 thru Dec 1998, then bam, 2 feet on the ground in January 1999. Plus, the 1990s were my school years, so really 1999 was snow Id never seen before. Deeper snow was far more common in the 1970s-mid 1980s and 2000s-2010s than it was from the late 1980s to late 1990s, ie: my childhood. It remains the 3rd snowiest January on record (27.3"), behind only 1978 (29.6") & 2014 (39.1"). This is a pic of my mom shoveling snow Jan 13, 1999

go cuddle up with it and take a nap.

I would take 2015-16 anyday over 1982-83 here. It was much snowier, tho still obviously a warm winter.

It was a blowtorch winter for sure. Especially Dec & Feb. Jan was seasonable temps but with record snow the first half here. The infamous blizzard of '99 on Jan 2nd was followed by storm after storm. Definitely made it memorable, but certainly doesnt hold a candle to great winters of the '00s-'10s.
