I wonder what the latest ice day recorded up there is.

April 29th in 2002.

Where I live the sea is colder and the sun is weaker and the best we can hope for is 3c under persistent snow. Maybe a plateau?

It's at a relatively higher elevation (310 m) but it's a bit north of White Mountains which have peaks up to 1900 m high.


Also heavy cloud cover and a cold flow out of the NW have helped as well.

Memory test. When were we talking about the central ridge warmup and we thought might be "the summer look" ? Wasn't that in March?

Anyway.. Looking like that again coming up. East stays seasonable. New england cool and normal next 2 weeks.

Apparently in 2002 it also snowed 1.7 inches on May 18th in Binghamton. That's just...wow

[alex985]

Saranac Lake had a high of 39 F (4 C) on May 18th also, and 42 F the following day. Quite the Late May cold snap.
