Congrats interior on the d9 euro blizzard?

An event of any magnitude in May would force to move this winter from an utter failure to a solid C- with the fantastic early DEC and May bookend.

Since there's no way in hell that actually happens, the F remains.

Some squalls in the area. Ground near MHT coated up. 

[weathafella]

Chilly morning today..32 during the dog walk.  A little bit of a 2002 look this spring so far...

[klw]

Woke up to a fresh coating of snow here.

Feels fantastic really, I wish the wind would go away but the sun always feels great this time of year.

Someone is getting croaked in this pattern. Don't see how that is avoidable.

It’s weird...wind was nearly calm here but just off the deck clouds were moving.  Agree about the sun...light jacket over a sweatshirt was fine.

Something came through as my dew is dropping and wind really picked up. Tim is just north of me on the water.

Yea we went from totally calm to cranking in minutes. The mixing of sunrise usually creates a gradual mixing,  this went from nothing to roaring 

[dendrite]

Mid spring

Lol Cranky said the other day that the 18th storm would be the last time we see flakes all spring.  Meanwhile Kevin posts pictures of a heavy snow squall 3 days later 

[powderfreak]

These temperatures with snowfall are obscene. 

Upper teens to lower 20s. Straight mid-winter.  

1/2sm at MVL, 3/4sm at MPV.

 

 

[Whineminster]

It's freaking MAY!!! WTF are we doing?????? Summer is short enough as it is around here!!! We should be doing our first cut in a week!

You know why he is called "crankweatherguy"? because he is always cranky from being wrong all the time.

I mean I’m blown away this morning.  

Low-20s and ripping snow. 

Look at Whiteface Summit in Adirondacks... 4F with 50mph winds.  

Mid-winter cold. 

[alex]

Feels like mid winter for sure with 22 degrees, snow blowing in the wind and light snow falling

[CoastalWx]

Low was 31.8 here, but with wind. That's impressive for this time of year, here. No radiating either.

Yeah straight CAA.  

It definitely took me a little by surprise but the air mass is legit.  

Pretty much everyone got this cold from CAA, with no radiational cooling.  If we mounted up as radiators in this air mass it’s probably 12F outside right now lol. 

Only 3/4ths of an inch snow so far but it’s not even close to being wet, blowing off the rooftops like some January squalls, lol.
