Where’s the sun angle crowd? Accumulating snow with an early August equivalent sun angle. lol

We had snow late evening May 10, 2020. I had 0.7", DTW 0.5".

Top 5 lows with some records yesterday morning across MN. Records set in I-Falls & Hibbing. Looks like they set records this morning, too. Some top 5 records in WI, as well, yesterday, and this morning. Last time temps were similar at many of these stns was 2020 & 2021. 

Chilly wx brr!

Reflective SW radiation with cold ass air.

Really looks like El Nino might be the saving grace - hopefully anyways. Could not imagine what the PDSI could end up if we saw a 1934-type summer setup? Would be something ridiculous like -10 to -15 nationally.

Two more chilly nights and then we are probs done with frost potential.  Pattern change is afoot

S tier day

Mid 40's to low 50's inland to low-mid 50's along the shore with a down sloping wind from the NW. Chilly day away from the Lake in some areas of NE MN.

My place had like 10 min of thunder and some rain in between lots of sunshine

A little bonus frost this morning with an unexpectedly low-low temp of 35 here.

Happy Mother's Day to any mom's reading this. Mostly guys on the board I think, but there may be a mom or two perusing.

Chilly morning with temps in the low 30's (some upper 20's) across the area. And snow showers moving through, too. Sounding like a broken record. "Hey man, you scratched my vinyl, man!"

Carbon copy over this way.  Should reach low to mid 40's today.  Upper 50's- 60 by late week.

The older I get the shorter the summer season seems.

Euro backing off of the heat coming later this week. GFS a little warmer but nothing big. 
 

Looking like quite a bit of cool (some 40’s) still in the cards heading into the later part of the month with eastern troughing back at it again.

Even if heights are high over here, the low heights and cool in Ontario is going to mean lots of backdoor cold front risks.
