Rtd208 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Current temp is 36 after an overnight low of 34 here. Crazy for early (almost mid) May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today tied the late snowfall record, after midnight would set a new record. I'm all about new records Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 31.1° and an inch of fresh snow still on the ground. Looks amazing against the pink flowering trees. Bottomed out at 28.3° this morning. Was wondering if I'd ever see accumulating snow in May again, especially with how warm the planet is becoming. It's been a 43 year wait to see it again but was worth it for the novelty of it. It doesn't make up for the worst winter ever, but it's a nice attempt at an apology from mother nature. This is why you can't plant around here until the middle of May at the earliest. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I believe this is the first time that the May monthly minimum temperature in NYC was colder than April.

SnoSki14 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 You have to go back to the 1800s to see a colder May min for NYC. Here I bottomed at 33F, coldest I can ever remember it being this late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read this as 4 inches in Margaritaville and got very concerned. But at least it is 5 o'clock somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if everything came together perfectly, it would have been nothing but white rain outside of the highest elevations. I’m glad Mother Nature came to her senses and punted this mess. Time to bring on the nice weather. Memorial Day is 2 weeks from Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think that snow would be that widespread as shown by that radar loop, but for any places that get into some decent radar returns, perhaps some rain at the onset follow up by some frozen (graupel, some snow) mixing in shortly thereafter? You have a better chance at seeing frozen than those of us close to NYC. Even in places with no frozen, winds will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpsnavigator Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Taken this morning in High Point State Park, about an hour and a half and 50 miles northwest of the city. Suprisingly, some of that snow was a little more powdery then we might expect for this time of year. I think the park made it down to 24 overnight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What amazes me is the temp on my thermometer reads 47 degrees with these flurries coming down. I've seen snow with temps in the low 40s before, but never the upper 40s. This is crazy.
