0.3 inches and still snowing. This won’t approach the 3 inches we got on May 9 1977 but still an oddity worth staying up for.

Down to 33.8°, snowing moderately and now sticking to grass and tress.

34.2° and moderate snow falling. It's been exactly 43 years to the day that I could make that statement on May 9th. Of course that storm produced 6-10 inches of snow in parts of SE NY SNE and Central NY and NE. Slide mountain NY received 27 inches which was the jackpot in that memorable storm. Now lets see if this one can produce any accumulation, an inch or two would be pretty cool.

I haven’t seen accumulating snow in May since May 9-10 1977 event which was very interesting. After one of the lousiest winters ever I feel I’m owed this. I don’t include others because I’m not quite sure if everyone is in on May snow. Personally I’d welcome snow in June just for the record books.

35.6° light rain, some wet flakes. If this pattern switched even a month earlier it could have been a memorable last two weeks of March. The last of 100 other reasons to make this winter season a top 3 stinker of all time.

I would have expected all of those seasons to have warmed even more than what you show here. When you give the deviations here, are they increases for the last decade 2010-2019 vs. the 30 year averages 1951-1980?

38°, high winds and sunny skies at high noon on April 22nd. I repeat where was this pattern January through March when I would have enjoyed the cold. Anything that flowered three weeks premature is pretty much dead from the last several days.

Good Lord one month of normal temperatures after Several months of way above normal and people are complaining. It just reinforces my thoughts from several posts previous.

Bottomed out at 27.8° this morning, the third day in row below 30.

Amazing that so many seem to be complaining about how cold April has been and most stations are now within a half degree plus or minus normal right now for the month (NYC -0.2° through the 18th, Newark +0.2° and Poughkeepsie +0.5°. We've grown so accustomed to above normal temperatures we've forgotten what normal feels like, or at least what use to be normal as the planet continues to warm.

Bottomed out at 27.8° this morning. Definitely looking forward to 60° later today. Where was this pattern December 15th through March?

Did you get any accumulation last night Rob? I heard reports on other boards of 3-4 inches in the vicinity of Middletown.

33.6° and snowing, no accumulation. Went back and forth between rain and snow all night, nothing sticking, ten to fifteen miles to my NW 3-4 inches. The final parting insult to the worst winter ever.

22.1 inches, also my worst season since I've been keeping records. The winters low temperature of 5.1° is also my highest low temperature for a winter season. From my research, it looks to be only the second time in the last 87 years of records in the HV that we did not go below 5 degrees. An F of a winter if ever there was one. Of course with everything going on right now regarding the virus in hindsight it's insignificant.

I checked the records at Poughkeepsie airport yesterday which go back to 1933 for temperatures. There is only one winter since 1933 that the temperature did not go below 5° and in that winter (1952/53) it got down to 6°. We are in pretty uncharted waters here regarding the mild winter temperatures.

My low so far for this season is 5.1°. I believe this may be the first season ever the temperature never got below 5°. If it doesn't happen by March 15th it's not happening, and I don't see anything upcoming to make that happen.

I forget who it was that said several days ago that the Tug Hill was having a bad year. My response was 150-200 inches in a season is a bad year for them. Looks like their season will be improving. Just checked back a page. It was Animal, the man who declared, it's over. I wholeheartedly agree.

I received 24.9 inches in 15/16 but probably all of our difference there was the 11.2 inches I received being on the northern fringe (for 3-4 hours until the heavier bands rotated out) of the Jan 23 2016 storm. I know places 25 miles north of me received 0 from that storm and one of my kids 30 miles south in NNJ received 30 inches. In 2011/12 it was 29.2 inches, 16 of it from the October storm, 4.7 on Jan 21, 3.0 on Feb 24 and 2.7 on Feb 29th. All other events were an inch or less. That was very close to this season on the stinker scale, along with 2015/16

I'm currently at 20.5 so this would now rank as my worst winter accumulation wise in the ten years I've kept complete records. Add in the abnormally high temperatures and so far it has to rank as a top 3 stinker of all time. However as Julian alluded too, I'm pretty sure there will be several inches somewhere along the line in March or April that will take me above my all time recorded low of 24.9 in 2015/16. Anyone have records from 2001/02? I'm thinking that season had to be less than 20 inches around here. I blanked that season out completely, as I hopefully will do regarding this season in time.

Where you relocating? We have a lot of family in north Georgia, Alpharetta, Canton, Cumming and Jasper. Great area if you’re still looking. Isn’t a horrible season in the tug hill 150-200 inches? I feel terrible for them, thoughts and prayers.

When events can't even live up to the very low bar of less than an inch it speaks volumes.

My response to your map is in the same spirit as you drew the map. Just having fun.

If snow falls in the forest and there's no one there to measure it before it melts, did it really fall? The decision should have been an easy one. I hope you made the right one.

Beautiful pictures, beautiful area. I stayed in North Conway and finally made it to the Mt. Washington summit this summer, incredible place. Stop in the Mt. Washington museum in North Conway if you get a chance and haven't been, it's a weather enthusiasts paradise. They still have stuff running this time of year that takes you up to 4,000 feet on Mt. Washington? If so I'll have to add that to the bucket list. I also got to the summit of Whiteface mountain near Lake Placid last September, another worthwhile trip. Leaves were at their peak in the valley and past peak above 3,000 feet, and pretty much leafless over 4,000 feet. On a clear day you can see presidential range from the peak.
