Genuinely awful. Agreed. This is a rare pattern over a weekend that makes it easy to think back and compare. 

Memorial Day weekend 1996 was like this.

Love this kind of day.. Messed me up from some side work today apart from my main job...                            But enjoy just sitting on the porch listening to the light rain in the trees and gutters......Up to 3.18 for the event..

Narrow band set up shop over head this morning bringing the total to 4.89" thus far. @MillvilleWx I've thought all along what an incredible snowstorm this would have been. Imagine our thunderous squall we experienced yet for several hours at a time. Yes, please and thank you I'll take another lol. 

I do wonder if a couple El Niño induced paste bombs are in store for next winter.  Sure seems plausible looking out from here.

The inflows into the lake this morning were incredible to watch, need some sun or that water is going to stay cold.  A little surreal seeing so little traffic on the water for a holiday weekend.

3.90" total at 2:30.  Hope for 5.00" by Wednesday 8 pm.

We will see this temp oscillation once  again this week and I think that continues thru end of June.  July will be hot but August and June not

Have seen a pattern pending with analogs so far of 1957,62,1990, 2003, 2011, 2015,16 and 2021

Still see this profound oscillation pattern thru June25

I love a good 2 day rainy / misty stretch, but we're now on Day 4 and I'm missing the sunshine just a little. The upcoming modified Polar airmass at the end of this week will be fantastic.

Whew that rain over the northern neck of VA looks heavy, too heavy.  I do hope we get some moderate stuff later here though.  Dark overcast again

The sun actually is peeking out here in Dundalk.

Obviously I certainly hope so. Ever since moving here, I've been surprised at the overall lack of precip but I also know we've been in a long term drought for ages. After this wet stretch, we go right back into the dust bowl unfortunately. In looking at the stats for winter 15-16 (you can't use the Oakland weather stats...the reporting site is right next to the hospital building and is wildly inaccurate, so I use Bayard as a proxy - whoever is their observer does a great job) you had the bomb in January and some other precip during the second half of winter but overall, it's what you would expect during a significant El Nino. @dailylurker and I communicate regularly and have been looking for a reasonably priced snow camp up on the Tug Hill east of Lake Ontario to get our fix...maybe we'll be lucky enough not to need it this upcoming winter!
