These 6 months of warm are going to go by quick considering how cold this winter was compared to last year...

2023-4 lowest temp: -2
2024-5 lowest temp: -21

2023-4 snowfall: 42.5"* (38" post-NYD, began obs.) -14" below average
2024-5 snowfall: 60.1" +3.6" above average
 

We had that cold (though extremes were modest) but the snowfall went the opposite way.

23-24 lowest temp: -12    Met winter avg: 23.8 +5.4  (mildest of 27 years)
24-25 lowest temp: -19    Met winter avg: 17.7  -0.7   (1st BN since 18-19)

23-24 snowfall:  99.0"   10.5" AN, 112% of avg, had storms of 12.4" (DEC), 22.0" (MAR) and 13.9" (APR)  The 40.9" post-equinox was highest I've recorded, incl. Fort Kent.
24-25 snowfall:  75.6"   12.9" BN,  85% of avg, biggest storm 9.3".

wasn't expecting this sky improvement.   It's now jumped into the mid 60s, and vis imagery/loops opened up regions N of the Pike for what appears to be a couple few hours of decent heating.

Will today be the best severe weather day of 2025 ?  The reverse jinx old school SEE TEXT over us and skies clearing.  Hopefully somewhere in CT a 78 lb man is scoring a softball game to truly bless us.

Severe is exponentially more disappointing.

True, but mainly because that is on a much smaller-scale than winter weather. Even on high risk days in the Plains...there are probably plenty of locations within the risk that probably don't even see a drop of rain.

My 19” snow season says otherwise  

At least with severe, you know the climo sucks.

I can deal with no severe...I care more about getting the water from the storms vs getting any severe. 

 

That said, we are sort of due for better activity. Bring back the 90s and 00s.

12z gfs really heats things up late month, also now goes into May!  With a heater too!

Yeah since 6/1/11, it has been a snoozer with just a few rogue events. I can't recall anything high-end and organized at all in SNE anyway

We actually had a good squall line a week later from that. 

CT has had a couple of events, heck even a tornado a few miles from me in 2023 as well as a microburst that year and earlier in October 2021 both in my hood...but as a whole it's been quiet.
