What's the shortest time and distance our region has gone from severe weather to snow? I remember something similar to this happening in May 1996....around the 12-13-14 I think.

it's because of that wind.....why can't climate change get rid of these weird late season cold outbreaks that serve no useful purpose?

I figure companies like Volkswagen, Nissan, GM, Ford, etc. will pick up the slack (they already have nice electric/hybrid lineups.) We really should be expanding on use of nuclear too, that will pick up a lot of the slack. One thing about removing CO2 I was wondering about....okay so today, this very day, NASA reported success of that machine they put on Mars that converts CO2 to O2, just like plants do. Why can't that be scaled up and be used here to convert CO2 to oxygen just like what we're doing on Mars?

Looks like it will only get to 70 here?

wasn't that the shortest freeze free period we've had?

So there were two separate bouts of snow, one was after the changeover, and the other was later the following day during snow showers and squalls? Did any of these sites report a coating or was it all nonaccumulating brief snow showers, Don? Did the temps drop at NYC or JFK to lower than what we had this morning?

Here's the problem.....the Paris accord is not nearly enough. It's not even a half measure, it's a quarter measure. We must apply strong pressure to get all nations to set quicker timelines for the end of fossil fuel consumption. Talk is cheap.

Too bad no more 30s like we had last May. Don, when was the last 30s last year, was it May 10th, and how low did we get in NYC and JFK, 36-38? I think both had a T of snow too, on Friday and Saturday?

Please keep in mind seeing a wall cloud or even a funnel doesn't mean it was tornadic, the funnel needs to actually touch the ground for it to be tornadic.

Thats the one! I was away on summer vacation when I got back I heard that there was really large hail in SW Nassau and a car dealership had thousands of dollars worth of damage to their cars. In the newspaper report it was listed as 6" hail which must've been wrong, 2" sounds closer to reality. It only lasted 2-3 minutes? Was it a middle of the day event?

they can switch to nuclear, losing coal shouldn't be that big of a deal considering that it's an archaic fuel source. Coal puts more radiation into the environment than nuclear anyway.

same thing happened last year, but in May

we need to embargo the shit out of these nations that are using coal. We need Iran-level sanctions on them

Major announcement for tomorrow, Earth Day, Biden's plan to cut carbon emissions in half by 2030! Also, the plan to produce only electric vehicles by 2035 are estimated to save us about 2.7 trillion dollars. https://qz.com/1999656/biden-plans-to-cut-us-carbon-emissions-in-half-within-the-decade/

snow report 1.2" NE PA lake harmony, PA

that makes for an interesting experiment in different blocking scenarios and different times of the season I always thought KC-NYC and CHI-BOS comparisons were worthwhile since they seem to have similar snowfall averages. The most stark difference is in 10" or more storm totals, wow!

is he chasing the twister, or is the twister chasing him?

I think it might be over here, I see the clouds are breaking up

right, it would probably have to be April 1982 like cold, which I don't even know if it's possible anymore that late in the season. But with how severe that cold was, even if that had happened a month later, it would have probably snowed.

that sounds like the best area for hail because it's where the sea breeze front sets up.

this sounds like sleet actually even though it's hail

it's hailing here again it actually sounds like pebbles hitting my windows, the funny thing is the rain is really light though and the winds are really strong

yeah we had that hail about 10-15 min ago along with blinding rain, it was pretty exciting. I think I remember the event you mentioned, and there was one on the north sure of Queens too....something like hours of hail with snow plows out lol.

I was wondering if it would be possible to get that kind of snow here this late in the season with a direct shot of arctic shot here instead of having one go to the west and then come here later on. But those have become so rare that it might be a once in 30 year event now.

the thunder and hail came back along with the rain but not nearly as heavy as before
