Newish house with really good insulation. It got warm in here last week for that one night but ceiling fans and open windows made it bearable enough. It's a very nice 65 in here right now!

You laugh but wxtwitter is already calling bust

Damn - my AC hasn't run since 3:43pm today.

There's no definitive answer in the literature. While 50" seasons remain possible at decreasing frequency, there will likely come a time when such blocking is necessary to assure the kind of sufficient cold for a 50" season.

Wow...I think this is the first time I've ever seen the discussion from this event!

Wednesday already has a huge expanse of enhanced risk, not to mention enhanced risk in the OH valley tomorrow . Probably a good chance both days will be upgraded especially Wednesday. Timing would bring possible leftovers from these events into CPA overnight.

I saw some crazy scary wording on their forecast. It's the kinda day you sit outside next to your bunker with a lemonade, bong and Reed Timmer lives and watch for monsters.

I can't believe this. I just missed a 10 inch blizzard at Mammoth! Completely missed out, totally clueless.

1989 was a moderate risk.

All the backdoors and rain kept places like Newark in 4th place for warmest average high temperatures this spring so far. It shows how challenging it is to come close to the warmth in a year like 2012 and 2010. So another example of less warm is the new cool.

Cells just starting to fire east of Dodge City

But was the reason for the extreme blocking the same as what we had in 1916-17? And has such extreme blocking always been historically rare, or is it only this rare in our new climate OR is it that in our new climate we need this kind of extreme blocking to get very high snowfall totals? Getting at least 50" of seasonal snowfall seems to require it.

It would have gotten into the low to mid 80's in here last week with no AC. You must have a lot of trees and insulation.

I don't think there is any repellent of any kind that works on them. Maybe @tamarack knows some old school concoction..

Following this today from back east. I have close family who just moved to outside of Topeka from the Jersey Shore and they're kinda freaked out by the local hype. Hopefully they're just north of the major impact threats there.

The extreme blocking of December 2010 and January 2011 locked in the cold air. Once the blocking ended, the explosive snowfall and sustained cold were largely finished.

Thundering big time here, just waiting on the rain.

It's early May you take what you can get around here. Another month and we'll be out of it for good

75 here. It's nice to be back to warm weather, but too bad it's only gonna last a few days.

5/31/98 featured a high risk but that was mostly NY/PA although I think the high risk may have tapped into Berkshire County/Litchfield County. 6/1/2011 I believe was Slight. I believe probs were 5% tor and 30% wind. I would guess that probably would have been a moderate. Although with the number of tornadoes which occurred that day at least, if that degree of tornadoes was anticipated it may have elicited a 15% hatched tornado which would qualify for high risk.

Haven't turned ours on yet and the next 7 days look very very springy which is awesome. We're in S Florida late next week though I might as well die.

No AC since late on Friday. Coming on 72 hours worth of time....sweet for May.

Let's go! 76
