It's only considered leaf-out if your NIT....Nonsense in Tolland. Give it up already, nobody on here considers the current state of the foliage to be full leafout. Except you of course.

CoastalWx Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I think we are closing in on last year...maybe still ahead a bit. But it slowed way down. Get out into the areas with more hardwood maples and oaks and it hasn't done much. My hood gives the impression of being ahead of most thanks to the Norway maples, but the oaks are a tad ahead of outlying areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came through just post dawn where I lived at the time, Middlesex County here east of Worcester in Mass. Mostly it was straight line winds that woke me as they turbine-howled through trees being with shredding leafs material flitting airborne beneath a very usually wide under-shelf of knotting scud. There was some distant thunder but nothing severe really took place beyond that initial pulse of outflow. I stood in the street doing my weather dork gawk thing, and managed to just catch sight of a rope funnel some distance away as it dangled to about half way down... That was the year of that heat apocalypse in the Midwest. Chicago head-counted a huge death toll attributed to that heat event... Livestock over several state areas were basically boiled right in the pastures and laid over dead. That's when I started privately musing ... why is it that heatwaves are not one of the fab five? Those of course being, Tornadoes, Blizzards, Hurricanes, Lightning, and Floods. They are just as quantifiable... and empirically impacting - it's idiotic they are not. They should be construed right along with these other killers. But don't seem to be, nor when there is ever a heat index-casualty-related event do they appear to be registered as a natural disaster. Maybe things have changed in recent decades ... but as recent as 2012 ... there was a heat wave that certainly should have been described as a natural disaster - maybe it was? It may sound silly.. .but seeing beef in packages going for 15 bucks a pop for a pound because the kill-off was so extreme ... seems right there. Sorry..wildly digress... Anyway, the closest we came to tasting that heat ... I remember the night before that derecho ( or it's collapsed outflow remnant) came rolling through, we were 87 F at 11 pm on a bank thermometer in down town Maynard Mass... ( small town west of Boston) and recall thinking .. that might be the hottest I'd ever seen a temperature at that particular hour of the night. The following afternoon after that derecho we did make 95 ...and that might have even been the hottest it got that summer - I remember feeling sort of left out and ripped off as a heat pattern enthusiast for having missing out on that incredible Midwest synoptic event. Heh, ...missing out because it's New England - go wonder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ample shear too...I wonder if we will see a 3-4'' hail report today? That's about as unstable as you can get. Only thing really lacking is better ulvl jet support.

Not that you're not - just sayn' I mentioned in the other thread before people got so disgusted with the weather they started a new thread to make it all go away ... that there's even airs of 2005 about that mid/extended look. The [possible] savior being in that "mid and extended" nature of the outlook - as in, time to dismantle it... Otherwise, pray kumbaya ... It sucks. We gobble up May stolen away and it's a substantial part of the warm season ...gone. It's no different than the antithesis ...like a 2012 winter - although that was more extreme in that particular direction.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
