Those took a back seat to none in terms of gas guzzling and exhaust system destruction. Front wheel drive I believe as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 12z Euro would be like widespread 10-18" north of RT 2 through NNE if like a month earlier. Like 1-1.5" QPF at Sub-zero 850s but just May boundary layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Just saw that Midwest storm we were talking about last night brought 10.9" to Duluth, MN. Holy crap that's a solid May snowstorm. Obviously breaking all May records since records started in 1884. Nothing like M1/4 +SN in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 It’s amazing but I just have no interest or excitement about those snowfalls in Mayorch. In the winter I’d be be so upset we didn’t get that. But I’m so into warm and summer mode , no interest and no thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Yeah it's not about wanting it, just something cool/interesting that happened. I mean those were some crazy obs last night out of Duluth...10.9" and the temperatures at the ASOS were mostly 34-35F. That's hard to do at those temps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would root for snow if the alternative is 38F steady rain. Probably my threshold is anything under 45F and rain might as well be snow. I'd rather 70F and sun or a humid rain with thunder...but there's not much worse than upper 30s and rain. That's when you might as well root for catpaws or something interesting.

It is surprisingly difficult to find much information on that storm on the internet. Local library archive stuff. I remember taking a Polaroid photo from our 2nd floor, back porch in Cambridge of at least 1” of snow on the house next door, which was literally 5’ away.

Everyone can say what they want but I agree with Dendrite...folks would be sucked in quick. We'd have an 80-page thread going a mile a minute if models were showing 1-2" QPF with 850s of -6C over ORH or something like that happening tomorrow . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Some impressive rain this morning. Already 1.20" rain since midnight at home and 1.61" up at the office. With the snow melt there is an eye-opening amount of water coming down off the hills. Whitewater in every little creek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
