  1. hey Detroit's 0.5 last year was around the same time we had snow last May! same system?
  2. even more surprising would be accumulating snow for both KC and St Louis!
  3. ah okay, it doesn't feel that warm because we have had no 80s (and barely any 70s and low 70s at that) and I've had the heat on every day. The min thing always taints the average, it never feels that warm unless the high temp is 70+ on a consistent basis.
  4. wow Walt, total precip (combo of rain and snow was 0.32"). Thanks for the 1.0" snow figure, I wonder if that will be it for the season or more is coming up.
  5. I think we should measure summers by number of 90 degree days. 100 degree days just aren't frequent enough.....although I do measure heat by a combo of both 90 degree and 100 degree days, so for a summer to be historic by my definition it has to have at least 30 90 degree days and at least 1 100 degree day.
  6. NWS is predicting a hot May-June-July (60%+ chance). One thing that may throw a monkey wrench into the works is this volcanic eruption in the Caribbean which released a lot of SO2 which is now starting to encircle the globe. Though the question is, how much is the lag with this and how strong will the effect be? It might be more of an influence on the winter time pattern rather than the upcoming summer.
  7. Looks like the accumulating snow will make it to KC, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo? What about the NE PA mountains Don? Lows in the 20s are being predicted there. Also with all this cold around all month how will we get an above normal month?
  8. Don, this has been one of the colder Aprils, I've had my heat on all month and it looks like more cold is coming. Isn't it going to be difficult to have an above normal month?
  9. I see, so 30s for lows Thursday and again Monday and Tuesday morning after that is more likely than 80s for the 28th and 29th?
  10. Some of our most memorable severe wx outbreaks have happened in October and November
  11. Don looks like 30s for lows and 50s for highs on Thursday and then again the following Sunday and Monday? What do you think of the two days in the mid 80s predicted on the 28th and 29th?
  12. Wow it's good that this will recurve and not make a direct hit there, otherwise this would be another Haiyan.
  13. it's already been documented that region isn't experiencing it like the rest of the CONUS is and there are reasons for it (arctic shots being directed that way instead of further east, something we've seen over the last few decades.)
  14. wow thats a weird reversal compared to Long Island, we had an inch of rain followed by a foot of heavy wind driven snow that even stuck to the sides of buildings lol
  15. Chris, I heard all this cold weather is because of an extreme super typhoon near the Philippines, winds near 200 mph?! How come no one has been talking about this? Also there's going to be an impressive late season snow event on Tuesday 3-6 inches from KC to Chicago, how far east will that get? Looks like permanent warmth is about 7-10 days away?
  16. Walt, is the total for the Lake Harmony area still at 0.7"? Do you have a rainfall total for that area too? Thanks!
  17. thats why it's more humid and why we've been having more tropical hits and close calls. did this happen in the 50s too? the 50s seem to be a good match for our winters too (most snow in March), before this winter that is. Maybe we're going to have another large scale pattern change now?
  18. how on Earth didn't he get at least 20 inches of snow out of that? I thought everyone west of New England did with that storm, right down to the city.
  19. Thanks the storm seems to be moving west (retrograding) and snow building back over NE PA and the Delaware Water Gap!
  20. is the breeze over the water an issue because of the SE ridge not being as strong? If it were stronger and built back farther to the west we'd have a land breeze and a ring of fire blocking off precip to our west and north
  21. in my lifetime the 80s and 90s were amazing, the 2010s were front loaded to 2010-13 its been bad springs and summers since then
