We are more alike than you think!

48/25 is apparently dry enough to get frozen down here… graupel and mangled chunky flakes for a 3 minute shower. Dog came in with frozen pellets on her back.

It has improved since my initial post(when you copy and paste it updates).

4pm on May 3 and it feels like 41 degrees. This blows

The 12z Euro went bonkers too.

40s all day and powered through with shorts on. About half a dozen layers on the upper body though, ha. Channeling my inner DIT.

Shorts everyday all day since mid Morch

Yes you are correct. RDU was the cutoff we got a little more than there but this map is garbage

Today is great.. worked this morning and just cooked hamburgers on the grill.. how could you not like this..? It's refreshing and you're not sweating your balls off.. keep this all summer

Reached low 60's today with a couple thundershowers, one that produced very brief hail. Webcam in the back caught a deer migrating back in. Starting to feel like Spring.

I would welcome a statewide 1" -1.5" and call it a day. We need several events where the soil profile has the opportunity to slowly rehydrate, not some big event where we get several months of rain in a couple of hours.

pollen kicking my ass

52° in Greenfield with some gusty wind. I’m still stubbornly rocking the shorts though.

Upper 40s and windy…a few glimpses of sun aren’t saving this day.

We had a couple of rounds of graupel late morning while I was doing work outside

Somewhere above 6000' is gonna get buried. Doubt I get more than an inch or two here in the city, but at least it looks like a much needed soaker.

That would be good news IMHO...don't get me wrong, I'm know it will be warmer than average, but like 1982-1983, that scenario would likely entail some bonafide period(s) of winter.

Yea, I figured there were some southern sliders in there because December and March had very little snowfall up here, despite not being prohibitively warm at all.

Like 1982-83 and 1997-98, I expect this one to be east-based/EP too. I think we end up exceeding the 1982-83 RONI of +2.5C. And I do believe the traditional ONI ends up near +3.0C. Everything is screaming that this is going to be a top 3 super El Niño. As far as snowfall, that’s always the wildcard, especially with super Ninos where we saw the 1983 and 2016 monsters up the coast….

see...I think it's really just whether the sun is shining for a lot of return engagement in this social media. I've come to find over the years there's a coherent increase in the complaint rate based on whether that is the case. Less about temperature and more about sun. Cloudy and dry.... 'top ranked shit day' this and that. All complaints more than just seem to settle off if the sun blasts through south facing windows I have a stretch of cedar fencing coming in tomorrow ...I had to go out and prep the property line; pretty nasty job toiling in contaminated dirt and old human detritus. This is kitty corner to an urban setting so it's not like rooting around in nature's regolith and bucolic Earth. Pretty sure I was turnin dirt and exhuming plastic fragments from 1972 back there. Gross. But I can say...dry and cloudy at 52 F? It was a helluva bargain over having to do that toily task if were 80 F and humid. ho man. it's all relative I guess

Also, a late widespread freeze/snow event in the Eastern US, as far south as North Carolina on April 19-22:

There was a historic very heavy snowstorm in the SE US on 3/24/1983. ATL got 7.9” of very wet snow, their heaviest snowstorm since Jan of 1940. That even gave Savannah a trace of sleet! ATL also had its snowiest winter (10.3”) since 1939-40 (another El Niño by the way).

I have a Mid-Atl bias--ninas are no good here, so yeah, lol

Euro is now generally on board, too, though its snow maps look kind of goofy around the Palmer Divide
