GFS is slower with the front than the euro and would probably be 90F again on Friday for the hot spots in SNE.

About the same odds of him having a full head of hair again.

Must have been the downslope.

Hrm...48/39 at ORH yesterday. Must be BDL season.

17C 850s...probably a lot of 92-93F readings in the hot spots.

I'm surprised Kevin didn't post the SE shift on the 18z GFS.

I have a coworker going to Jackson for Mother's Day. Could be interesting up there.

I wonder if I can get some catpaws mixing in when those midlevel centers start cranking. BL/2m temps are pretty cold in the M/U 30s. We just need to get that isothermal layer low enough.

Nice shift west on the NAM. Soaker.

Looks like the euro tries to weakly BD us up here for a couple days in the middle of that stretch. Hopefully it would just be a mild down.

That's what I mean by the "core" of the mess being near BOS. Pulling off a -8F or -9F for max temps is damn near impossible for May given the lowering standard deviations. I wasn't trying to downplay the sucktitude of that month outside of BOS/SNE. It was simply just "less bad" up here.

I will admit I didn't look at any Maine data for 05 and don't recall how you guys fared compared to the rest of New England. I should've been more clear. I usually leave Maine out in the context of my posts because you guys are sometimes another world up there. I get a little NH/VT vs SNE centric when making comparisons. Maybe it was more of a longitudinal deal too since the coast took it the worst in SNE. I haven't looked at the past 19 Mays for CON, but I'm sure 2005 is right up there for them as one of the coldest...but the departures were still colder for ORH/BOS than up here. I think the BOS avg max was about 8F below normal...not sure how it was for you.

Nice cold rain on the GFS. Interesting still for the Greens and Whites though.

At least I'm having fun trolling my family telling them what the NAM shows this weekend. As if they have any clue what a NAM is.

my lat/long...lawl

WTF

Hopefully they ban this troll soon.

We've had a couple more crap days/events this month than down there...4 days with highs in the 40s already here for May. 2005 definitely got off to a better start than we have this month, but the more data I looked at it was obvious that SNE, and especially the coast, had it worse than we did in 05. It's not like I'm claiming it was nice, but the core of the schit was definitely down there.

Yeah...the first half was cool, but a lot of freezes and fair weather. It was that 7-10 day stretch at the end of the month that was putrid. CON finished the month with 5 days in the 70s and 1 in the 80s. So far they have yet to hit 70F this month. Maybe they can squeak a few out the middle of next week.

I'd argue that this has been worse than May 05 so far up here. I think departures were a little greater in SNE than here though. Through the first 10 days of the month ORH and CON are running about 6F BN for max temps with more dreadful days to come. May 05 was near normal for precip too so it's not like we pulled off some kind of obscene 7-8" month.

We've had a ton of rain. It's been terrible. At least we got out of the 40s today.

Jesus. That looks like the first week of April or something.

I'm guessing there's some high terrain snow in WNE/E NY Sun night based on the crappy public euro maps? That ULL means business.

5/14 low max records CON 47F (1948) MHT 46F (2006) PWM 46F (1931) BOS 47F (1931*) ORH 46F (2006*) BDL 50F (1948*) PVD 47F (1948) BTV 51F (1973*)
