There was a big snowstorm Memorial Day Weekend in the Adirondacks May 24-26, 2013. https://weather.com/storms/winter/news/snow-new-england-new-york-weekend-20130527

I think there's a laziness component to this issue, like other things, some people don't want to/can't perform relatively simple tasks like adjusting clocks. I think we have the best of both worlds the way it is now - extra daylight in summer evenings and enough daylight on winter mornings. If we change it, fine, but it wouldn't be on my Top 10 list of priorities for this country.

One of the big issues that I'm not sure people realize would be sunrises of nearly 8:30 am during the shortest days of the year.
-
1.3" event total. Looks like it's starting to brighten, hopefully warms up and dries a bit later for some grilling.
-
Missed the action out here. 0.04". No thunder.

They rarely make it this far east anymore. There's a chance of a line forming giving the clash of air masses. Typically those lines are broken up and not well organized, at least by the time they get here. So I'm going to guess, overall, not much (<0.2") for the majority of the sub.
-
It'll be closer to a nothing burger by then since that's usually what happens as events draw closer. I can see it turning out windy and raw with on and off light rain, similar to last week, but not much appreciable precipitation, which will still suck for Memorial Day.
-
NWS on their morning X post seems to have conceded that there will be little to no rain into early next week.
-
That mirrors the trends of recent spring, summers, and falls. Very wet well north and west, fizzling out to broken up lines and sprinkles as they move north and east past the area with little reaching the coast. https://www.drought.gov/topics/soil-moisture

Wind and light to occasionaly moderate rain. Temp 40. This does suck, even though we need the rain.
-
Nothing from last night to my knowledge. The Tuesday night line went all around me with a gap over Sparta. I only recorded a trace. Meanwhile, western PA and up through Buffalo, Finger Lakes and the upstate is having it's third night in row of a pretty solid line of storms. No rain issues there.
-
I'm fully prepared for a spring, summer, and fall of storms firing off well north and west and not making it here. Already we've had two days of some media hype about storms with little to nothing to show in every location in the forum. I'm watching that line out in western PA, and things are always possible, but it's likely to be a miss or fizzled out to sprinkles by the time any of it gets here.

According to Mesonet, Manhattan only dropped to 71 overnight. When is the last time that happened in April?
-
We got a little light show and a few rumbles and drops from that area in western NJ. Looks to be fading, but made for a neat sky right after sunset.

You can blindly forecast that without any models, and 75-80% of the time you'd be right. That's been a multi-year trend, and I can easily see most of our frontal passages and pop up thunderstorm forecasts resulting in exactly that for this season too. It's probably the reason drought conditions are generally worse as you get closer to the east coast (although for now not right on the coast).
