DeltaT13

Its been a wild day here with three separate rounds of torrential rains and some limited thunder. We never cracked 80 and probably won't now until June. Further downstream and Firmly in the warm sector is Penn Yan at a stifling 87 right now! On the flip side, areas around Duluth right now are reporting very heavy snow temps in the mid 30's. Thats intense.

All the summer lovers (myself included) should love Sunday. It will be the first truly hot day since last September. One of the latest, first 80 degree years in quite some time too so it will really feel unique to winter conditioned bodies. Also looks like a chance for some discrete severe storms in the afternoon.

The models missed something today. It's currently 70 degrees at 10am with a forecast high of 62 today. hmmmmm

High Peaks of New Hampshire looking at 6-12 tonight into tomorrow. Pretty impressive.

Yeah, the low just phased earlier and earlier and runs out of steam by the time it gets here. It's filling as it passes by us now which takes away all the fun and intense dynamics that we needed to bring a mini snow event in late April. At least today came through with 4 straight hours of driving snow. The truck had a little coating along with the pines and other elevated surfaces. I think that scratched my final winter itch.

I'm with you on the yardwork and gardens. I was supposed to be splitting beehives this weekend and I also have (likely had) a softball tournament tomorrow (that will probably be canceled). I'm just chocking this weekend up to a loss and finishing up the last indoor projects. The whole weekend looks like garbage from an outdoor perspective

Low Res NAM is a little further north and keeps us in the game. Would be fun to see the ground covered in white one last time this season

Would love to see this storm bump north about 50 miles so we could get into some of the action up here along the lake plain. That said, the storm doesnt look quite as robust as it did in earlier runs (while passing through NY) which I think will have an impact on the storms ability to dynamically cool the atmosphere. Further upstream, I see Winter storm watches posting in Wisconsin for 5-7 inches with locally higher amounts.

It's hard to explain but a snow event at the end of winter just seems much more plausible than a snow event at the end of summer. The atmosphere is only 2 months removed from the deep freeze in May while the atmosphere and hemisphere is 6 months removed from the cold in Early October. I just feel the October storm is apples to Oranges when compared to a May snowfall. Not to mention the October storm had nearly 2 feet of incredible low ratio snow. As a side note, Whiteface Mountain got 36 inches of snow the last week of May in 2013. I am attaching a graph from Mt Mansfield. Does snow/cold seem more likely in May or October? I'll let you be the judge (make sure to consider the months before each time period). Anyway, its a very interesting topic and I'm glad you brought it up.

I think the bigger anomaly certainly belongs to the event that was coming out of the warm season. It takes an incredible setup to find adequate cold when there is virtually no arctic snowpack and the Northern Hemisphere just recently came out of 24 hours of daylight and heating (for the previous 4 months). An event in May is certainly noteworthy and rare but it happens in much closer proximity the cold season. The October snowstorm is the top weather event of my lifetime, hands down. Absolutely blew my mind at the time and still does.

Oh damn, you're including layovers. Yeah, that can make any trip a seemingly never ending nightmare.

I was hoping youd stop in for this last gasp of winter. I think Hawaii is "only" about 12, (haha not that big of a difference I guess).

Sunday is starting to get interesting. Right on the cusp of some accumulating snows.

Those cells look at absolutely ferocious. Warm fronts are no joke this time of year. Chautauqua county about to get pummeled.

Tornado watches for Wyoming and Livingston. I guess we don’t have any posters from there. If this would have happened during daylight I’d consider chasing.

That squall line developing over Ohio sure looks juicy. Not sure what it will do with or pitiful atmosphere up here (no real instability to work with) but perhaps overall dynamics will win out. Will be a fun 6 hours or so.

High res Nam certainly shows an impressive squall line tomorrow night. Would love to see that verify. Nice bowing line segments

What is the closest small town to you? What is your local NWS office?

Here is a very off the wall idea, Do helicopters every fly around that area? I have power lines behind my house that are frequently inspected by choppers. The prop wash from them flipped my canoe and tossed it across my yard once. Other than that, there was no other damage.

I'll be interested to see more pics. If we can rule out vandalism I would consider something like a dust devil. They can causes pretty intense and extremely localized damage.

That looks like heaven.

Those pics look like deep winter. Nice

It’s wild here. The winds are absolutely nuts. Only the Lower mountain is open and man oh man is it cold with that wind. Just took two shitty lifts then hiked but we found some knee to thigh deep stuff in the trees! Also saw some great lenticular clouds. Tomorrow will be absolutely amazing.

Lot of wind holds. The face looking gnarly this morning!

Well I’m here to snowboard not just observe snow. Haha. Looks like I made the wrong call though. My friends at mad river are reporting 3 to 4 feet in northern Vermont. We got shadowed here all night. Frustrating.
