Seeing a meso near like Conway/Goshen with decent winds lower down... probably some whitetail in the DAR state forest ducking for cover.  The storm southwest of that though coming over the spine in Becket/ Chester looks like the one to watch for the valley, at least at this juncture.

Not quite this extent, otherwise there’d be more glaciers around Tahoe.  A lot of those Sierra sites were like several 100s percent of normal SWE, taking a while to melt.

Correct.  Typically it melts off around Tahoe.  Max elevation is not all that high at like 10.8k and most peaks are under 10k. The end of last August I took the pic below in Desolation Wilderness near Emerald Bay, and there were some lingering patches around 9k or so.  Another pretty big snow year, but not as big as this year.

BOS got buried 12/26/10

That was rock bottom for us coming off the brutal winter previous.  But it all turned around 2 weeks later.

I’d like to see those that claim they do, to show a pic or video of a good time (outside of beach or pool). I’d like to see smiles as they cut wood or mix cement in 90/75.

Not one person enjoys 90/75, Not one, And if the say they do, I'll cal BS on it every time as they sit in the comforts of there window units or central air.

all about that breeze

A day we'll all remember, perfecto.  Beach @ Weekapaug, Narragansett for fish sandwiches, Treehouse, Stone Cow for bbq and beers, and Quabbin for sunset.  10/10

Line ramped up as it came through here, but not anything overly notable in terms of wind.  Good thunder and rains.

Sitting at gate at Logan heading back to DFW and watching the storm out of the big windows in Terminal B. It literally collapsed...

Oh well, I see plenty of storms in DFW. 

Yeah, especially this year.  Severe thunderstorms 10 out of the last 12 weekends by my count, and 5 straight.

Was out in the car on Rt. 9 in Amherst about 1:30... woah! what a downpour.. lots of pea-size hail, some nickel size or larger. I think I got a dent in my hood from one of the larger chunks.

Going up the hill from amherst media to the train overpass, there was a good 3-4in of water flowing down the hill.. I have never seen that much water on a non-level road before.

 

Davis IMBY shows a peak rate of 4.8in/hr at 1:35

 

Wound up pretty nicely.   Classic hail look, similar to 8/1/11 which produced half dollars nearby.   Nexrad showed 65 dBZ.  This from the radar locally.

Just looked it up.. that tornado looked nuts!!!  

Slabs wiped totally clean

Big, big CAPE day

brief but very heavy downpour with the passage of the line.  No thunder.

3km had quite a few popcorn cells dropping south along the coast tomorrow.  Cold air aloft, > 1k j/kg MLCape in spots.  Should make for some cool looking clouds at any rate, with small hail and a low end wind threat not totally out of the question based on the weenie soundings.

Crazy how underreporting,  CDC says 30k reported each year they estimate 300K is more likely

nah we just built the wall

Reports were a trunk not a wedge.

This is from the DFW NBC 5 radar after the tornado moved over Greenville. Impressive stuff

A little unstable today in DFW?  It's been crazy active down there...

Anyone along and N of this line is polishing a turd to call this season summer ( so far .. )

Right from the opening bell Memorial day weekend I'd have called this stretch just about as good as it gets for early summer.  Not sure what folks are looking for...

Several close strikes here and peas reported in town by skywarn.  I thought I may have heard a few pings.  65dbz echoes on BOX.

Line developed fast!  Like 15 mins from hardly an echo to a strong batch.

Maybe an hour ago we had an ofb blow through Btown from the earlier storms to the north.  You can see one further east on BOX radar now.  Seems like we'd have needed something to fire Pike south to get anything substantial, aside from a few limbs down in the hills and a smattering of peas.  Running out of time unless that ORH cell can keep strenthening.

Linear segment forming over the east slope now.
