Sunny and warm here in the sun with no wind

Me too! I had to look it up. I had no idea.

The hardest it has snowed the entire "winter"..

Guys in the S sub not jealous at this point. We have to wait a bit for Spring to really spring. Just life at a little higher lat, and by a big cold pond.

Seriously I love it here! Just talked to my mom in agawam and said it was sunny dry. Lol a few flakes left 2.25 total!! We take!!

30.7° SN 1.2” and counting

Heavy snow with great snow growth in Methuen.

Interesting. It’s been so long since we’ve had one I forgot

looks like sun for an hour along the Pike

52 / 31 cooler today / overnight into tomorrow 48 hours with freezes possible (tonight/Wed night) before moderating Thu / Fri to and above normal. Great weekend on tap. Next week much above normal if no onshore tendency is missed and develops on subsequent forecasting. 70s - 80s maybe a stray 90 as Bluewave noted above in the extreme case 4/13 - 4/15. Beyond there overall warm a bit back of cut off potential / ULL but other than that overall warmer than normal and drier than normal the next 7 - 10 days.

Webb exhibits at times a tone that borders on being over the top to get attention. “Hilariously strong”?

1.5” unslanted?

Woke up to 28 degrees and a minor dusting of snow in my part of the Poconos this am.

Wetter in the winter. Drier in the summer. ". For much of the southeastern United States during the summer of an El Niño event, the climate is usually warmer and drier. " https://climate.ncsu.edu/learn/the-el-nino-southern-oscillation/

You must live in the greatest climo spot in the region Somehow always able to pull off accumulating snow. Like its mostly sunny here right now and you're ripping snow. There could be like 3 separate snow showers moving through the region, two of them happen to get you and somehow drop 1.5". You also always seem to get crushed with thunderstorms. the weather gods certainly love that area

Aren’t El Niños typically wetter on the east coast? With a total of 0.01” for April and no chance of rain till mid month at earliest, it could be dire straights around here unless we get a good soaking second half of month, not good

There are only a few snow reports trickling in so far. The highest is 5.5".

Heaviest of the season?

We’ll hit 90

This is wild its been dumping the last hour!! still going

I fully get that 1877-8 is as strong as any El Niño on record based on Nino 3.4 as Eric Webb’s and other tables show. But it’s the H5 maps that were shocking to see since I had never seen any H5 maps before the late 1940s. Now after reading what you posted above, I realize this 1877-8 H5 is no more than the equivalent of a wild educated guess as all it is based on is surface data as that’s all the only data they have.

Pounding aggies.
