97-98 would have been the worst if it wasn't for that unexpected first day of spring snowfall, although 01-02 was a warmer winter and had the shortest period between first freeze and last freeze I've ever experienced. I had roses blooming until just before New Years and crocuses coming out in the last week of February lol

We had our latest snowfall on record that year too, April 19, 1983 1.5" here.

I had my biggest snowstorm I've ever experienced here in January 2016 (my only 30"+ snowstorm) so I would take it too. Plus some additional bonus snowfalls in February and the latest below zero temperature I've ever experienced (on Valentines Day morning!)

2PM ROundup New Brnswck: 81 PHL: 80 ACY: 79 TEB: 79 ISP: 78 EWR: 78 TTN: 78 NYC: 77 LGA: 77 JFK: 75 BLM: 73

That’s what came through here. 0.14” The basement was starting to get dry so it was appreciated.

81 here now

Clouds from yesterday's little band of showers stopped yesterday morning's coolness at 41. Cloud free so far today, skeeters, one horsefly-sized critter and ticks where I was picking up the fallen red maple that had blocked (then was cut from) the club trail thru our woodlot. The wood was about 100 feet, nearly half wet/mushy and the rest a rock garden, from the unmaintained but drivable road. A challenge for the aching knees - left one gets fixed (replacement) on 6/23.

One of the winters was warm, one average to mild, three cold. For snowfall One was well below average , three around average, one historic. lets see if those years show up again in a different manner

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.
