May 8-9 mid-spring rain, snow, cold, wind obs
powderfreak replied to CT Valley Snowman's topic in New England
Insanity for temperatures. Don’t need heavy rates in this air mass to get it to snow. -

Crazy that it looks like the Green Mtn Spine up here isn’t getting into it yet. Odd for it to be snowing steadily in town with nothing happening over Mansfield. -

Nice light snow, much steadier now probably 1-2 mile visibility type stuff. No accums but awesome to see steady flakes falling in the flood lights outside. -
Nice light snow falling now, seems to be getting less wet and floating more, ha. But still no less than 3-4 mile type vis -SN.
-
Looks like it is absolutely nuking snow on the Mad River Glen cam.

SLK quickly below freezing at 31F with snow and visibility under 1 mile. KSLK 090040Z AUTO 36004KT 3/4SM -SN

Got the smallest flakes falling, like half melted, half evaporated and left with a very tiny crystal by the time it hits the valley, haha.
-
39F with a snow virga type sky up here, tendrils of snow dropping out of the base of the clouds in spots. Nothing reaching the ground though.
-
Ha, Binghamton down to 1/2 mile moderate snow at 32F. KBGM 082153Z AUTO 36016KT 1/2SM SN FG OVC004 00/M01

Who makes that post when it’s under 60F approaching mid-May? Lol. Aren’t average highs like mid-60s at least down there? Comes off as someone trying too hard to prove this cold isn’t a big deal.
-
Asleep at the wheel. Didn’t seem to do much around here, the hills didn’t have that pasted white look, must’ve been following the international border.
-
Man, I didn’t realize how last night’s little system produced good snow at Jay Peak. Looks like winter.
-
BGM is over 1600ft in elevation too. My sister lives around there at 1100ft and it feels like it’s in a valley. They’ve got some relatively high base elevations around there.

Looks like Ithaca and Binghamton out in NY are just seeing some run of the mill light snow in the afternoon in mid-May. KITH 081956Z 34010KT 5SM -SN BR OVC020 02/01 KBGM 082038Z 36012KT 1 3/4SM -SN BR BKN017 BKN024 OVC029 02/M01

NAEFS percentile analysis shows both 500mb height fields and 850 to 500mb thermal profiles near MIN values indicating that the ensemble is forecasting these values to fall outside the 1979-2009 climatology for this time of year and highlighting how cold the progged thermal profiles are expected.
-
lol yeah just warm enough to snow. Different scene tomorrow morning, hopefully some white trees.
-
Feeling pretty decently about waking up to white tomorrow, even if just 1-2”. 2-M temps are pretty cold, I think we can get it done with light rates. Just your run of the mill light snow event in mid-May.
-
Smoked ya! Its like if we ran the NAM every hour, we get the HRRR.
-
Yeah I’ve seen patches make July here and they are higher latitude. Season long drifting can pack snow into places that take forever to melt.
-
It’s got the classic residual upslope cloud even in that photo... the low topped thing hugging the hilltops, I bet that’s producing flakes. That has the classic mesoscale cloud look formed low level in response to the terrain.
-
Ha, yeah as we were discussing yesterday, still good snowpack in the mountains.
-
12z GFS looked better on the NW side.
-
lol more snow showers out there. Even with partial sunshine it’s snowing out in May. Cold air mass for sure.
-
Can’t be all bad there, Happy Birthday dude.

Had some snow showers around this morning, another day with flakes flying in May with more to come. METAR KMVL 081225Z AUTO 26003KT 5SM -SN FEW022 BKN028 OVC060 03/M01
