2020 - How's The Weather By You?

I've lived in this area all my life (south of Rochester, NY - DOB 1950) and have never seen weather like this. It was 23° this morning. It has been 40-50 for daytime highs for most of the past week now, and will be for the next week (last Saturday was in the 50s and sunny, Sunday was in the 70s and sunny).

On Mother's Day weekend in 1989 I had a foot of snow on the ground, but it was a one-day freak storm and it went up to 65° the next day. Overnight frosts and freezes are not unusual up to the end of May but this extended, mid-winter cold in mid-May has never happened in my lifetime.

I just snapped this of my front yard a couple of hours ago. Current temp at 3:52 PM is 32°. Normal afternoon high for this time of year is mid-60s.

WoW! you guys, SNOW?? ... :eek:...it was 80 degrees here yesterday and been close to it for weeks previous while you were all struggling with snow.

Great weather for the holiday weekend despite nothing being open, lots of people went out to the parks and the coast for the day ( no social distancing sadly ).

We stayed local and it was relatively quiet on our walk across the local park... just a few walkers & cyclists... unlike the London Parks we could easily practice social distancing...

I'll add more pictures to the photo thread later but here's one to show you from yesterday.. ..

Snow on the ground again... Reminds me about 12 years ago when we tried the camping life, Lennie and Carl were just Babies... We went camping this weekend... Nice and sunny on Saturday, had a nice campfire, went to bed about 11, the boys were already sleeping... and yup woke up to about 7cm's of snow on Mother's Day... Not that bad yet... LOL
