    It must have been very close, because Boston had one of their highest snowfall totals in PD2.

    PS this is the anniversary of the famous May 9-10, 1977 snowstorm!! https://www.newenglandstormcenter.com/post/may-shock-looking-back-on-new-england-s-epic-mother-s-day-snowstorm The latest I have ever seen snow also occurred on this date -- May 9, 2020 -- a Trace of snow with a temperature of 34 in NYC but in the Poconos where I was for that storm, 4 inches with temps in the upper teens and wind chills near 0!

    wow and a NESIS map to boot! 7-8 inches in NE PA and a Trace all the way down to Cape May NJ!
  4. LibertyBell
    Yeah this is enough rain. I don't want 1+ inches of rain and it looks like whatever we get this morning will be it.
  5. LibertyBell
    This is more than enough rain, looks like it's going to be mostly dry this afternoon and maybe even some sunny breaks just before sunset. My allergies are acting up now so I know we've had more than enough rain.

    it's raining here now but more moderate than heavy.
  7. LibertyBell
    and Spring has been tending to -NAO (especially April and May ugh!!)

    There are three criteria I use to rate A+ winters (this is going to be very unscientific lol) 1. Holiday Snow (2002-03 had that and on Christmas Day to boot!) 2. HECS for the entire DC to Boston corridor (PD2). 3. An April snowstorm (April 2003). Only two A+ winters for my area in my lifetime 1995-96 and 2002-03.

    Also the rain just started here and it's pretty heavy!!
  10. LibertyBell
    Yep, much more needed there than here, Walt. Eastern PA is also going to get a lot of rain (they had 3.6 inches with the last event in the Poconos too.)

    Tony what was the record low on this date in 2020 at NYC.... you wrote 3.
  12. LibertyBell
    whats causing these semipermanent upper lows, it feels like it's the same one hanging around for weeks.

    This is also the anniversary of the May 2020 snow. There was 7" at Providence RI in the May 1977 event and over a foot in the Poconos (13-17 inches.) In the May 2020 event we had 2-4 inches in the Poconos over a two day period with temperatures falling into the upper teens and wind chills near 0. That 20" in Norwalk might be a typo for Norfolk, CT, which is in the Litchfield Hills in CT and the snowiest spot in the state. 1977 - A late season snowstorm hit parts of Pennsylvania, New York State, and southern and central New England. Heavier snowfall totals included 27 inches at Slide Mountain NY and 20 inches at Norwalk CT. At Boston it was the first May snow in 107 years of records. The heavy wet snow caused extensive damage to trees and power lines. The homes of half a million persons were without power following the storm. (9th-10th) (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel)

    the Gulf Stream. I'm looking forward to a very nice weekend!
  15. LibertyBell
    with some small exceptions like 1933-34, 1942-43, 1947-48. Those were some very cold/snowy winters!!
  16. LibertyBell
    -NAO is now shifting to MAM while +NAO predominates in DJF. Actually scratch March, now DJFM are all +NAO while -NAO is now AM
  17. LibertyBell
    isn't this why we've been having so many multiyear la ninas?
  18. LibertyBell
    remember we don't really need a -NAO, 2002-03 was better than any of those winters and had a near neutral NAO.
  19. LibertyBell
    It was nice to go two days with blue skies and no rain.
  20. LibertyBell
    wow Ocean County Airport-89- is that Toms River?
  21. LibertyBell
    I remember this was the case in summer 1995, it's why the Mississippi River valley was so wet with the ring of fire surrounding us, August 1995 was historically dry because of it.
  22. LibertyBell
    Makes me skeptical of how they calculate this stuff. I'm more of an *in the moment* kind of guy, if the rainfall for the month (and even moreso the season) is above normal, it's above normal. Even the reservoirs are over 100%
  23. LibertyBell
    This is to be expected with a strong southeast ridge, usually north and west areas do better with rainfall.
  24. LibertyBell
    This is weird with no hot or even very warm days at all (it hasn't hit 80 at JFK from what I recall.)
  25. LibertyBell
    I'm sure it will dry out again come June, wet summers are rare here without tropical involvement.
