So I hear you want snow still...

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Strong low pres system over OH Fri morning with triple point
over cntrl VA. Rain with some embedded convection will be
ongoing east of the Blue Ridge 12Z Fri and then push east of the
Chesapeake Bay during the afternoon as dry slot works in from
the west. Deep Ern U.S. trough/closed low will keep cool and
unsettled/showery conditions into early next week and likely
beyond given blocky regime. Coldest temperatures likely to be on
Mon when freeze warnings may become necessary for the higher
elevs. As for any snow potential for the higher elevs, Sun night
and Mon morning appears to be the best time frame for seeing
some snow flakes.

Over under on when all three climo sites hit their first 90 on the same day?  I say Memorial Day.

Looks very unlikely for at least 2 more weeks at least. We can skate in May pretty easy without all 3 hitting 90. June is almost always a lock though.

yep....and it has Garrett County staying in the 30s all weekend ...that's pretty unusual even out there.

I bet they see some snow

LWX did mention the chance... but said it would have to fall at night because during the day it wouldn't work

We're heading out to the house in McHenry this weekend -- ironically enough, we had planned to dig up some old bushes/etc the previous owners planted and then redo the landscaping.  I guess that's out now.  Good thing we have plenty of firewood since it looks like we'll need it.  

First two weeks of May look pretty miserable IMO - I'm all about 70s+ this time of year.
