Partially frozen poop, or downright poopsicles?

We partial. Bottom side lol. Water on top of the pool cover is solid ice. I opened my pool Memorial day last year, long ways away

If this pattern had happened like 6-8 weeks ago, we'd probably see like 40-60" in a 2-3 week period.

Hard to get a pattern with this much moisture in Winter, unless it's 2015.

We have had multiple 40 to 60 inch months over the years in winter

  No doubt this last week has been abnormally cold

Not impossible, just rare. Espcially if it's multiple storms. You can get one big 30" storm but that doesn't count. 

When do we leave this ACATT pattern? I know even you are ready.

-9.5C at CHH this morning. I think Will had said -10C would break the record, but idk where -9.5C falls...on mobile so maybe you can check it out.

Not really...maybe chop it by 25%....but we're not running 70F temps here. We're running temps not that much warmer than winter when you look at the whole column.

Maniwaki with your typical late April -18C H85 airmass.

There had only been 1 other occurrence of -10C this late at CHH....amazingly, it was -13C on 4/23/89. Didn't quite reach it today, but the same stat probably holds true for -9.5.

As I looked out beyond the hearth I gazed upon two score oxen frozen midstep. I set out on my way and proclaimed to the goodwife “pray remember me. Fare thee well.”

Just replace oxen with chickens and there we are.

Yep!

I don't weenie drive for weather, but if it snows Sunday night into Monday, I might head out Mohawk Mountain way. Accumulating snow in late April in Connecticut looks to be pretty rare.

[Sugarloaf1989]

Never seen snow in the valley this late in the season.
