I’ve never seen accumulating snow of any kind in my lifetime in May, not even a dusting. I’ve seen mangeled flakes and grapple in May before but that’s it. I dont remember the year had to be late 90s or early 2000s saw 2" mothers day weekend if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossbowftw3 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Pretty much praying for an inch now but tomorrow's squalls look more juicy anyway. Gonna feel like a mid winter day even in between the possible squalls. Hoping whoever has to go on the roads are ready for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRRRRRRRRRRR has been ticking better run by run, at least for here. Squalls could be an added bonus. Time will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a post in mid-April about being rather amazed to see "real" snow falling in the middle of the day (big flakes, sticking easily...like look out the window and it could be January). Fast forward to May 8 at 1115 am and same exact thing! Gentle mid-winter snow parachuting down. Unreal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bumble Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I feel like this current NH snow cover image is a good indication of why our springs more often than not are horrible (cold, wet, cloudy, snowy). Snow cover persists towards the 45th parallel right over our heads, whereas the rest of the NH is snow free up to the 60th parallel. Perfect recipe for our spring "perma-troughs", and certainly a clear pathway for polar air to slide into our region with accompanying fat fluffy snowflakes. And during the middle of the day 6 weeks from the freaking summer solstice no less. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is incredible. 6 weeks from the most powerful sun of the year. 6 weeks after June 21st is beginning of August and usually the warmest time of year.

lakeeffectkid383 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Okay so I have legit moderate snow coming down and sticking right now at Noon in May 8th. The temperature has dropped from 38 degrees when I got up at 8 am to 33 degrees currently at Noon. The most incredible cold airmass I have seen this late in the season ever. If we manage to pick up measurable snow at the airport will it count towards 19-20 season or 20-21 season? lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaT13 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Light snow in Rochester, big fluffy flakes floating around. Not graupel, not a sloppy mix. Straight up snowflakes. Air aloft is mighty cold for 12 noon on May 8th. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
