New England has been very lucky since their last Hurricane Bob way back in 1991. This has been related to the heights rising faster north and east of New England relative to the Gulf Coast. So the last major U.S. hurricane landfall north of Jacksonville occurred in 1996. This is a new record for the U.S. Coastline relative to the total U.S. major landfalling hurricanes over a 30 year period. This is part of the reason that there have been som many high impact major landfalling hurricanes in and around the Gulf Coast recently. Even Sandy was driven west into SNJ near ACY and avoided a New England landfall. This is why it was so damaging around the NY Bight. https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/All_U.S._Hurricanes.html

46 imby for the 2nd day in a row. KMWN is now at 12.2” of snow since Thursday. That’s impressive even for them given it’s late May.

It was a strong el nino, so you really can't prevent the warm-ups in between. Although, we did get consistent cold and snowstorms in February. (But the winter ended abruptly, as the snow stopped in Baltimore and DC in mid-February, and north of Baltimore by the beginning of March.) However, 2009-10 is the absolute best case for a strong el nino. It's like the modern day 1957-58 (that one also had warm-ups in between storms). Everyone got a good winter, with the exception of the PNW (the Vancouver Olympics were affected by record warmth and a lack of snow) and maybe the Midwest (ask @michsnowfreak, strong el ninos are never good there).

Canaan Valley NWR down to 25 this morning.

It's only a matter of time before hurricanes will start forming in the subtropics and start threatening the northeast.

Was listening to them last night. RIP Mike Peters

Low of 47 and a trace of rain from a late afternoon spritzer. An 8 on tap for today and a 10 for tomorrow. Onward.

A +7.2° F warming of the Gulf Stream in only 40 years is a big deal and is related to the rise in 500mb heights associated with the Southeast Ridge and Western Atlantic Ridge. But 500 mb heights are on the rise everywhere. So there could also be more remote teleconnections involved spanning all the ocean basins. We have seen the subtropical ridge expansions simultaneously across the entire planet.

Low was 41.0 degrees, not near a record (35.0 from 2006 and 2013), but cool. MAYBE today will be the day winds finally decide not to blow into the 20's to near 30 mph from the W/NW lol.

Cuz ACATT

Not a soul alive that doesn’t enjoy high dews

Yesterday probably sunnier than today . Already clouded over here after clear start

not this one?

Fiber is your friend

More doom and gloom on the horizon. .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... -- Changed Discussion -- A similar pattern to what we had this past week will develop again by Wednesday, with another round of cooler and damp weather. Models highlight another phasing/amplifying upper trough developing over eastern Canada and the Great Lakes, and digging southeastward into the Ohio Valley and the Mid Atlantic region for the mid to late week. So, it appears our relatively cool and damp pattern will continue into the end of May, with no signs of true summerlike weather on the horizon through the beginning of meteorological summer on June 1.

40 this morning.

Finally a sunny morning

Yep I remember that one. We had like 6” of rain.

ACATT angry

Gorgeous 52 degree's out, clear blue skies and surprisingly no wind. Not even a slight breeze.

Do you have a Go Fund Me?

Yeah, the usual warm spots could avoid a big year like 2022 and 2010 for 90° days since we haven’t had any 90° days yet.

It's amazing how ACATT. Is last to install.. yet the ones that have bow down to summer heat..

The scattered pop-ups mostly missed me yesterday (although my Delco sister got nailed by one but then got a cool double-rainbow at the end that she texted a pic of). But for the previous 3 days (5/21 - 23), I ended up with 1.20", which takes me to 5.82" for the month so far (vs 2.76" for April). Got up to 64 yesterday and bottomed out at 50 this morning. Currently a mostly sunny 51 and so far not as breezy as yesterday, with a dp of 45.

50 degrees this morning Was up to State College yesterday. Where we was at, they lost power for 3 hours due to strong winds blowing trees on wires. There would be strong wind gusts with 2 minute pop up showers and sometimes the sun would pop through the cloud cover…crazy weather
