Last weekend saw mountain snows in the interior Northeast and record lows in the Midwest/Ohio Valley. 6pm Update from the Adirondacks… Snow accumulated more since earlier this afternoon/evening of April 29, 2018. Snowing down to 1000' in some areas. I wonder if there's still skiing around in the mountains. #Whiteface pic.twitter.com/KuhFieqZbV — Ralphs Weather OBS […]
After a cold March and even colder April, there is confliction between the modelling and my thinking as we go forward. I believe April 2018 was 3rd coldest for the US since the beginning of the satellite era. 1983 remains coldest because it was colder in the Southwest compared to this year. Confliction between man […]
By Jon Erdman Apr 30 2018 01:05 PM EDT weather.com Snow-removal crews at Montana’s Glacier National Park are finding the annual spring plowing of roads tougher after an impressive winter snowpack that remains well above average by late April standards. The National Park Service posted a series of photos over the past week showing drifts […]
It’s been an impressive April for cold in the Northern Tier. As well as the hundreds of record cold highs and lows set, not one but two states may have set an all-time record low for April. Not something you see very often. Especially in a seemingly warming world. Michigan may well have obliterated their […]
A site on the Hawaiian island of Kauai may have set a new US 24-hour rainfall record. Hawaii is well known for heavy rainfall events but an astonishing 1-day rainfall event between April 14-15th may well have raised the bar of US extremes further. Preliminary data suggests Waipa on the island of Kauai recorded 49.69 […]
Drought often ends with a flood and when cool Aprils end in the Dakotas and Minnesota it’s often with a sudden surge of spring. That’s certainly been the case and highly welcomed by all lively in a seemingly endless winter. Just days ago it was this around Minneapolis… https://twitter.com/Fairmont_Wx_Obs/status/986613183682154496 Now it’s all about this… https://twitter.com/NWSTwinCities/status/987116528763047936 […]
Despite the current warm-up, April 2018 is likely to go down as one of the coldest on record for the Northern, possibly Central Plains and Midwest with all sorts of records falling from snow to record cold days and nights. According to Joe Bastardi of weatherbell.com, the first 21 days of April were 3rd coldest […]
There has been some quite incredible temperature variability on the Plains this spring. In yesterday’s post I showed Dodge City, Kansas but their not alone. Thank or blame the worsening drought. Dry air cools and heats much more easily. Take Gage, Oklahoma as an example. Within 36 hours the thermometer goes from 10s to low […]
Only in the Plains states do you see weird and wacky and wild back and forth temperature swings within a matter of hours and winter at daybreak followed by mid-July by dinner that same day! That’s exactly what Dodge City, Kansas got this week. Within just 48 hours, Dodge City went from a record low […]
According to meteorologist Daryl Ritchison based in Fargo, for the state of North Dakota as a whole, the first 15 days of April is the coldest on record and records date back to the 1800s. We of course know how cold it was in the late 1800s and early 1900s in this notoriously cold part […]
