Deck Pic Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Does anyone know if a table like this exists for the DC area? Or even just the information? I'm wondering the longest rain-free/measurable precip for DC. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/fwd/?n=dnorain I'll do a little research...I know in 1988 we went 32 days with only 0.02" of precip....that may be longest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhotoGuy Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I had a nice trip down to the Blue Ridge Parkway & Great Smoky Mountains. Some of the higher elevations are a long ways to go before leaves coming out. It was nice to come back today to cooler temperatures. I-81 must be the longest road ever. It felt like it was never going to end. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 even downtown Denver should get a few inches It's not terribly uncommon in May but it takes a cold mid or ull spinning upslope into the foothills to get it. Heck, that's how Denver get's 90% of their snow. E-NE surface and midlevel flow can produce unreal amounts in areas just up I-70 like Evergreen. And like here, late season stuff melts in a hurry and has limited impact once it winds down. I'm glad they are getting a May storm and I'm jealous.

CAPE Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 My uncle and his wife just retired, sold their house in Canton, and moved to Colorado. They just bought a house south of Denver. Not sure they are too enthused about snow in May, but its not uncommon out there. Upslope ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattskiva Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 They're going up with totals in Larimer County. We have a small (800 sq ft) cabin in Estes Park near the entrance to RMNP - looks like they are getting totally raked. C.A.P.E. is right - it is all about upslope. We were there in December, almost no snow (cold and dry); back in March and great snow in the mountains but Estes and the foothills areas only do well in the Spring storms, rarely see much snow until March and April, because they are east of the divide and need the upslope storms to their ESE to see heavy accumulation.
