That's incredible. I "only" had a little over 13" here and things still flooded that I didn't think could flood.
-
Yeah, I think you're right. I wasn't really sure what these little farm pond dams were supposed to look like, but it was likely along these lines now that I do a little digging. That's pretty neat! Lots of history in that area. Was that the October '05 flood courtesy of TS Tammy and an unnamed subtropical depression?

I spent the afternoon finally clearing the bramble and brush around the fabled dam. This structure has certainly seen better days. I would have no idea how to even start thinking about building this back up. Was the dam once as high as the concrete abutment on the right? Why did some chunks of masonry migrate back into the pond and others tumble down the spillway? What I wouldn't give to see a photo of this setup when it was still standing...

We have one more reinforcing cold shot. Tuesday morning freezes for many, Wednesday morning for most, and then I'm declaring growing season officially open.

May 8-9 mid-spring rain, snow, cold, wind obs

One of the few things that everyone on the boards agrees on. Love to see it. -
184 days between my first (Nov 7) and presumed last (May 9) measurable snowfall of the season here. Would have been nice to notch October in there, but I can live with a seven-month winter.
-
I wouldn't total another truck to experience hail like that again, but I'll admit it was a thrill.
-
Just had a mighty gust from the NW and then precip flipped to snow like a switch. Incredible.
-
Yeah, this is the case for me as well I believe. Though if I'd seen a stray flake at some point in like 2002 I'm not so sure I'd remember. Remarkably, one week from today is the 2nd anniversary of the worst severe wx day in the modern history of the HV. I love living in the mid-latitudes! Still 39F here with a light SE flow, though the fropa is just minutes away per radar.

The hi-res models still look good for a coupletwothree hours of post-frontal snow starting between 10 and 11. I'll stay up for it.
-
I was smoking an outstanding cigar tonight (Midnight Express maduro by Caldwell) and had a moment of overdue clarity in my relaxed state of mind: it's probably not gonna snow that much on May 9th. We back-end coating if we lucky.
-
I'm locking that in, no offense
-
It's funny, the other day I was thinking about sequence of moods from "want snow for snow's sake" to "don't want snow" and then "want snow again for the novelty" as spring progresses. If you asked me one month ago I'd have said to heck with it. Now, bring it on.

Lord. Wreckage on the GFS.

How we also pray. Let's get this inside of 48, please.

Ohhh how we pray.

I can only imagine the tedium of using a typewriter to argue about snowfall maps!

May 2020 General Discussions & Observations Thread
Juliancolton replied to Rtd208's topic in New York City Metro
It was nice before about 10 am, but it's been nasty since then. 54F, steady light rain, blustery winds. Yuck. -
Aye, we record lows and probably we at least flake. There are a few different waves that could all deepen just a hair more and introduce the possibility of messy accums.

We really needed this rain, I was starting to get worried about water levels
-
0.79" here so far. Looks like another rainy afternoon on top. The models have been frigid in the long-range for multiple cycles now. The GFS op has three or four shots of sub-528 dm thicknesses starting around D8, and the EPS/GEFS certainly support that kind of pattern. Frost danger through mid-month at least.
-
Sunday looks salvageable. Not a gem but mild with periods of sun. GFS has a little more moisture around in the afternoon than the Euro.
-
The delayed exit seems to have been real, but the ULL trended south today such that we end up under a more diffluent regime for most of Saturday. Clear until evening with potential for spot 70F if that holds. The models have been pretty chaotic with this period. It's been interesting to watch... if there were even whispers of frozen precip, everyone would be losing their minds over these swings.
