Kind of steiny here relative to further S and towards RI etc and also SNH since April.

[Typhoon Tip]

I suspect Ineedsnow has undiagnosed ( or diagnosed ... either way) hypertension.   As soon as that corrects down with medication and/or lifestyle change, or a combination of both, he'll start getting rib chills and cold hands like the rest of normalcy. Such that these claimed sunny and 45 F "beautiful" days will epiphany the reality, this is piece of shit weather in May.   LOL.

ya same I didn't care if it was hot or cold when I was a kid.. now I just hate the heat.. My dad has a place on lake Lyster in Baldwin mills Quebec right on the United States Canadian Border.. usually to cool to swim though  

Try swimming at the beaches in Maine when the cold water is in, your ankles hurt and cramp up, once you're in its not so bad when it's a hot day.

Once your legs turn purple, Its not to bad...............

This storm is boring when’s the heavy stuff?

Also, 85/60 is perfect. 

[dryslot]

Well officially, June 5th-6th is the day of the installs, But i may need the mini splits for heat..........

[CoastalWx]

Best day to go to the beach is when there is a light seabreeze. That helps bring the warmer water in and/or heats up from the sun. Even Maine can be warm relatively speaking on those days.

If this were a snowstorm, west of River would be getting porked.

[HIPPYVALLEY]

46° in Greenfield with steady light rain, but somewhat bright cloud deck.

If this were winter, the precip shield would be much farther west. I don't think WOR to the NY border would ever be porked with a low track like that.

Oh, OK. I wasn’t considering any of the dynamics of cold season verse warm season. Just looking at the radar shaking my head. Lol.

I wonder if someone is spending the day staring at a window AC unit while listening to this song...

Same here it's odd.

[ineedsnow]

snowing at Mount Snow.. they should pick up a few tonight

[amarshall]

Media had family members whipped up into a frenzy.  Instead of cold windy day, 6pm news last night WAS BREAKING WEATHER ALERT 

[Typhoon Tip]

this low has bombed down to 1004 mb

[Typhoon Tip]

 

I remember seeing this and posting it last winter ... I'm wondering if we're still seeing some vestigial tendency to be strangely cold in the local space, comparatively

[weatherwiz]

If it stays dry in the Hartford area from like 4-8 PM I will do naked cartwheels down Main Street

[CoastalWx]

That is a wall of water to the south, lots of convection too.

[rimetree]

Staying dry so far but tonight looks pretty nasty. Been running the mini-split heat off and on for a few weeks...no AC needed for quite some time is my guess. 48/44

We pray it rains 

[wxeyeNH]

42.8F  Light rain.

On May 25 2012  I recorded 3.1" of thundersnow within about a 2 hour period.  I believe the temperature was 33F during that event.  That was the latest snow I have recorded.

We will not repeat that tonight but at my elevation of 1100 feet it will be interesting to see if I can manage some mangled flakes.  Any guesses?  What do you think Brian?

yeah there wasn't much wind outside of the beaches. 

[Modfan2]

Upslope enhancement for the 395 corridor in E CT?

[Sn0waddict]

.84 inches here so far. Radar looks like it’s gonna be a New London county on east kinda storm.

Absolutely pouring again down here.

[dryslot]

Could've used this pattern back in Jan-Feb with all these cutoff slow moving systems in April and May.
