I read about May 1977 when the Catskills were buried in over a foot of snow.  I was in the Poconos in May 1977 and got to see it snow all day, which was pretty amazing.

I was 5 at the time, and 80 miles west of there.  Could have seen snow then just don't recall.

Thanks Tony, and a Trace of snow on the 9th?

That high of 49 on May 9th with sunshine (most of the time) is pretty crazy too.

Is that an all time low for the month of May for JFK?

 

Snowed at my house on the 9th/10th in Westchester.  Walked my dog in the woods with leaf out and snowfall.  I don't think I've ever seen May snow, even living Upstate NY for 22 years.

What's up with this volcano in Indonesia?  It has a 70K feet ash plume which is high enough, and the thing is equatorial, so those 2 are ingredients for weather impacts, no?

next full eclipse in nyc area will take place in 2079  so get ready!!

The next time it snows over and under as well

clouds kinda skunking it up here in midtown.  It's dark out which is cool, but I can't see the thing through the special glasses I got.  I did get to see some of it earlier.

We will be in once this swarm of earthquakes pass.

Honest question - is there anything in a meteorologist's training that would make them particularly knowledgable about earthquakes?  I ask because most of the on air folks I'm watching today seem to be struggling.  Granted, they're being asked to make a story out of something which, other than some shaking and the novelty of it, is a not much of a story, but some of it is frankly tough to watch.  

Nerds know nerdy things, other than that, no.

Just got hit right now with another shake.

I’d say that was half of the impact as the one earlier.

I wonder if we can have tsunamis on lakes though? Or is there a different word for that?  A seish (spelling?)

In August 2011 I was actually getting ready to take a bath when that earthquake happened and my bathtub was full of water and I heard the water sloshing back and forth from the other room.

 

Yeah I know what you mean. Those can be nasty

animals always feel it sooner than we do, but in this case the dog was a little slow to react lol

My dog - nothing.  Cat slept.  Freight train but nothing from those bums.

How much for Philly?

but seriously at my house, it felt like a freight train was going through my basement.  Only way I can describe it.
