Make sure you get those pics when the sun briefly breaks through the clouds and spikes the temps to 57F before dropping back to 52F.

He's been reduced to polishing 54F overcast turds. Like powderfreak said, he will start taking pics of a break of blue sky in between the hours and hours of low clouds.

Haha, Kevin thinks we only get 1-2 days of crap and then its back to early summer....

Yeah the 1950s wind data specifically looks pretty weird. Even 1960s to some extent. Just a WAG but I wonder if they high-balled wind data a little bit back in that era before jumbo jets...the commercial airplanes back then were definitely more susceptible to wind than the jumbos that started coming out circa late 1960s and 1970s. So from a safety standpoint, you could argue being more conservative and rounding up on the winds. It might be totally unrelated too but I often think about that stuff because the weather observers back then were really important to the airports before radar and other technology had come out.

It definitely looks like there is a step-down in the mid/late-1990s around when ASOS was installed. I wonder if that has anything to do with it. It doesn’t explain the drop between the 1950s to 1990s but those post-ASOS years are pretty low.

I made a joke post to Tip about the D7 GFS showing noodles or catpaws at the tail end of the cutoff. See it on previous page

Time play everyone's favorite game in spring.... Wheel!!!!!!! Oh!!!!!!!!!......... RHEAAAA!!!!!!!!

Congrats!!!

I know Tip is really hoping the GFS verifies next week...maybe some catpaws or noodles early Wednesday morning with 534 thicknesses on the departing backside CCB under the ULL?

Yeah...I meant that in the sense that it's not clear we warm sector on Friday....esp N of the pike or into NH....I still think we may sneak into the warm sector, but it wouldn't shock me if we end up getting a 45F turd chucked in our face while its 77F at White Plains and Danbury, CT.

Nah, cranky said just a quick 36 hour cold shot.

Friday is teetering a bit too.

Did you already have the sideburns by then? (reference to the pic of you in December 1970 hugging the snowman)

We did start the month off with some warm days. We had that near-80F gem on 5/2 or 5/3. Been garbage ever since though.

49F here with a stiff NW wind under fair skies.....and its almost lunch time in mid-May. This weather is dogshit.

9F is a record low there for today....I thought cranky said on Friday that the cold was only a 36 hour deal?

Yes, 0.7" on 5/18/02

If my obs are correct, the last time BOS set two record lows in the month of May was 1967. May of yore.

Windex snow showers in May for the 2nd time in the past week....annual occurrence according to cranky.

Radar was down right? Can't go back and look. That ULL was moving past us.

ORH had snow too but it didn't amount to measurable KORH 130454Z 29013G32KT 1 1/2SM R11/6000VP6000FT -SN SCT026 BKN034 BKN050 01/M02 A3008 RMK AO2 PK WND 31033/0444 SNB46 SLP193 P0000 T00111022 401110011 KORH 130449Z 30018G33KT 1 3/4SM R11/6000VP6000FT -SN FEW012 BKN034 BKN050 02/M02 A3008 RMK AO2 PK WND 31033/0444 SNB46 P0000

Nice wheel-o-rhea on the euro

Until the wheel-o-rhea arrives a week or two later and camps over us for Memorial Day weekend.

Lol, he turns his car on with the exhaust pipe facing southwest and we're in the 40s with sheet drizzle.

It’s an annual occurrence according to Cranky.
