Surreal to have it be 38F, windy and rainy Memorial Day weekend. I just took the dog out in a coat with hat and gloves on.

To me it had the classic feel of Halloween weather this morning.

Maybe some severe tomorrow afternoon? So far this year we have heard barely a rumble of thunder here.

We got just over .1 inch of rain from that line of showers. Enough to settle the dust at least.

Was there shrinkage?

Same here... I just rode my bicycle to work dressed in full winter gear. This would be crap weather for mid-March, never mind mid-May.

Honestly in mid-May we don't even need above normal. Just getting above 50-55F daily highs would feel great.

I saw it out the window, thought it looked like grauple but I didn't get outside to feel it.

Meanwhile another morning of 40F and drizzle. Oh joy......

I just dumped the rain gauge. 3.6 inches for this week. That's a healthy drink.

Same conditions here....that map is absurd.

It's a great day to "chill" on the porch here. Happy May!

I went mountain biking with our Golden this morning. Some of the trail was actually frozen mud! But she still needed a hosing off when we got home.

Hellacious drive to work this morning. Frozen road surface with an inch of powder on top. More cars off our road into the ditch than I have ever seen at one time. I think our town has already removed plows and spreaders from their trucks because I don't see them out.

Early December perhaps. Christmas week it would be at least 20F warmer.

Those only show like a measly 10 inches here.....I suppose we can adjust upward as we get closer.

Low 60s here but enough to wake this beauty from winter slumber:

I'm going to bet the under on the 2 inches for here.

The tail end of that went through here and whitened our bare spots.

We had a high here of 33F so I bet most or all of the Tug stayed below freezing. Where did you ride? That pic looks great.

Cuomo was indeed killing it....I just don't think they realized what the "it" was at the time!

If it's that obvious that these changes need to be made why would you wait 3 years to implement?

April is certainly the cruelest month in upstate NY. Just when you think you're out of winter.....they pull you back in! I can already see it coming when we are all enjoying 55F and warm bright sunshine next week.

Downhill? Nordic? We were up there last week and there was bountiful snow.

I took my kids out to the bus this morning and told them to look around at all the snow........this is our maximum snow depth for the year, for sure. After today it's all downhill. I give this winter an A- for our area. I'm into the winter sports and so my grade depends on snowpack and ski conditions. We had week of good skiing in December, and then January and February have been continuous with excellent pack and excellent surface conditions. If we could have kept winter going until mid-March I would have gone with the A grade.
