Yep, looky there. I must have been under a rock because I don't even remotely remember either of those dates. The 24th really baffles me....a week before June, snow and I don't remember it????
I thought the same but this is kinda shocking because I don't remember either of these events. I must have been on a extended weekend bender....
'"After the second-least snowiest season on record in Philadelphia, this spring snowflake chance is quite the surprise! Philadelphia has only recorded six days with snow in May dating back to 1885 — all trace amounts.
The most recent of these May trace snowfalls occurred in 2010 and the latest occurred on May 24 in 2000."

May 24th...WTF?
Yep, that's what I figure. Being up at that time is not difficult these days due to my screwed up schedule. Two things are a must:
-Phone is fully charged/pictures/video
-Beer/booze
Summer records are cool but winter/snow records in May are mega-ultra-super cool and way more noteworthy in my book.
63F/sunny/some gusty winds
*Very active hurricane season predicted:

Yep, definitely. For those who suffer from allergies it felt great. It was like sweeping out the old stale mild air with new fresh cool air. My sinuses and watery eyes said "thank you".

44F currently at 4:25am...morning walk felt good. ( had to dodge a couple murder hornets but made it) Really looking forward to the next 5-7 days...50s (60 tops) and 40s Sat for the high/30s low. Rain /maybe some flakes mixed in our general area during this span. This is truly a treat for May and wish I could bottle it up and spread this joy w/others....
Summer never fails (99+% success rate) while Winter has a 70%+ chance of failure. I'm enjoying this time now while delaying Summer as long as Mother Nature permits (and closer to Fall)....a win-win.
Winds have picked up and you can feel cooler air filtering in the area. God Bless. I may step outside to see if I can catch a Asian "Murder Hornet" bee before they freeze this weekend...
Really can't wait for the cooler (some rain) weather next week, 50s next weekend and 30s overnight. Pure joy. Today sucked while cutting the lawn. Too warm, bugs and coughing/sneezing due to allergies. Screw that...
Those amounts are heavy duty and it's not like a 2 day event, relatively quick. Overall should be fun to track...
62F/sunny w/some gust. Speaking of, when my hat blows off my hair looks like Boris Johnson only 5x longer. A true nightmare and awkward at times...
Didn't drop much at all, 38F @ 4:45am.
Probably a good day to get stuff done outside, then sit outside, grab a beverage/grill at maybe catch a glimpse of the Blue Angels/ Thunderbirds at 2pm. Flying over Philly and parts of Mont/Bucks counties...
