Normally i wouldn't create a map for such little snowfall but under the circumstances i felt like it was justified. Rare May snow. Not many reports to go off of so i did the best with what i had.
It's snowing here as well, not graupel or mixed r/s or mangled flakes, light snow and flurries. And it's 44F. About the warmest i've ever seen snow. I think i've seen it closer to 50F before but i cant confirm the exact temp.
How rare is this for northern Maine? I feel like ive seen snow plenty of times in maine up there. The records are pretty low for CAR, for any given date in the first half of may.
The staff. Not sure exactly how it works but you can book 2 weeks up there as visitor. The staff probably rotate every few months or so. I'm not sure. I do know there are always many people up on the rockpile at any given time

But it's "warm" thats the exact opposite of warm.
Also, it's been quickly dropping into the 40s after 2pm.
00Z NAM and HRRR basically a fropa now for ct all rain lol. And just like that it’s gone. What a shit winter. Not like you can a expect anything serious in May but a coating to an inch looked reasonable at one point.
I don't trust the HRRR as far as i can throw it. And that's 36hrs not 48, i don't think it goes beyond 36. At least nothing i can find. Either way, still, the HRRR at 18-36 is like the GFS 200-384hrs, even inside of 18hrs it can be pretty bad.
Wow just saw the NAM complete whiff for all of New England except some light snow for ct ri and se mass. Big differences in models with only 36 hrs to go.
