Best spring in the history of America.

Hmm, maybe because the old measurements are biased low? Snowfall measurement: a flaky history | NCAR & UCAR News

Unreal. This may go into the annals as the most pleasant spring in the history of the City of Pittsburgh. Already up to 29 days at or above 60F (T-most), and 13 days at or above 70F (T-3rd most). Tomorrow will be close to 60F, but the ensuing 6 days are 70s and 80s. Count on those two should be 35/36 & 19, respectively, by next Friday, with even warmer temperatures possible next weekend.

I'm sure the observer in Toronto was lying about how much snow used to fall as well.

Are we sure these correlations apply in this new regime? If we look at April 1997, it was 5th coldest on record, but this year seems destined for back to back record warm months. The NBM numbers would bring us up to about +5.5F (1991-2020 climo) by the 18th/19th timeframe, whereas the current record is +3.4 in 2006.

Looks like good, sound records to me. The snowfall and liquid equivalents make sense.

What motive would they have to lie about how much snow fell? Newark is not the same climate as Detroit. It could have been colder and drier in Detroit than present.

This is unbelievable:

Ever since they swapped in the new temperature sensors, PIT's lows are usually no more than about 1F warmer than mine and I'm in the woods. It used to be 2-3, maybe 4F, warmer, but not recently.
