I’m in sandbar mode too. This is like November but with twice the daylight length. Nothing is going to accumulate but just spitting snow showers on May 8th, with a backdrop of sticks. Not a lot of value here, ha.

Yeah, this is getting ridiculous. If it's gonna be cold and rainy let's at least bring the sandbags out.

Can you be more specific? There's a ton of stuff on their site, and I'm not finding that. https://www.weather.gov/buf/ There's a Rivers and Lakes page, but generally that just seems to have gauge data for water levels and flows - not seeing anything with regards to temperatures, including those charts.

0.90” in the past month. Not great.

Snowing at Stowe and 57 here. A few months ago, I may have been jealous, but I’m in Sandbar mode now.

I’ve definitely seen some crazy rain snow lines near the Cape Ala ‘10–‘11….But usually if Southeast Mass does well the upper cape should be good too.

NWS Buffalo.

Yes, I noticed lots of damage to many plants around my property and when taking the dogs for a walk around the neighborhood. My one Magnolia (about 25' tall) took the biggest hit.

Reflective SW radiation with cold ass air.

Next winter is toast if this plays out like they say. Awful

RDU only recorded 0.49” with the system and even that paltry total was the wettest day there since March 16

We finished with 0.71” from the event which brought the mtd total to 0.85” which now exceeds the entire month of April at both my location and RDU, if that puts into context how dry last month was. It now looks likely given a few more rain chances we will break 1” of rain for the month, which normally wouldn’t excite me but with the way it’s been that is a serious milestone

Sunday looks great. No rain til at night

Top 5 lows with some records yesterday morning across MN. Records set in I-Falls & Hibbing. Looks like they set records this morning, too. Some top 5 records in WI, as well, yesterday, and this morning. Last time temps were similar at many of these stns was 2020 & 2021. Chilly wx brr!

Did I miss something?

My ruby looked me straight in the eyes begging for the feeder. I obliged

Since there are 70-foot trees close to the west side of our house, we'll skip the derecho but take the rainy late summer and fall that El Nino advertises. I gave up on the grass and will re-try in Sept. (The builder did the hydroseeding right before the Jan 25 snowcrete storm. I asked them to wait but it's a requirement for occupancy LOL)

Speak of the devil... "Oceans near record heat again as El Niño conditions begin to build" https://phys.org/news/2026-05-oceans-el-nio-conditions.html https://climatereanalyzer.org/clim/sst_daily/?dm_id=world2

I saw four orioles yesterday. So great to have them back. No ruby-throats in my hood yet though.

Only thing that truly got damaged was my citronella I had just transplanted. Most of it browned but is coming back nicely. My catnip looked bad too but rebounded. Hostas curled up but nothing died thankfully. Any veggies we had in pots outside were dead on night two.

Mother's day is trending wetter. Got tickets to Grounds for Sculpture down in Hamilton, crossing my fingers.

It's also been going on since last October, too. All but one month, which is arguable anyway ..., were showing a plaguing cold anomaly, either in scalar extreme when not relative to the whole planet, situated over the eastern N/A latitudes .(.aka, us ) since late last autumn. I've been posting them since mid winter. NASA releases them around the 10th... so April should be prepped soon. I would not be shocked and in fact expect to see this has continued. We may still be "above normal" ... or not. But if we are, we will likely be still cooler than everywhere else.

No freeze here in Nassua. My early girl tomatoes which have been in since early April are taking off now. One thing we do have is damage to broad leaf evergreens from the winter. Especially skip laurel and Japanese acuba. My red rocket crape mryrle which died back to the ground in 15 made it this year though and is finally starting to leaf out. .
