Spring 2015 thread (Northern Hemisphere) (snowfall, warmest, average, temperatures)

Yet another typical early evening thunderstorm here with some loud thunder.

People are complaining about how wet it's been here but it hasn't been that bad. It's not like Oregon where it rains literally all day.

Here it's usually just in late afternoon and evening which is pretty nice actually.

The mosquitoes are starting to be more than a rare occurence now, and it only gets worse from here .

The thunderstorm season is starting to kick on too, it feels like a tropical place here at this point.

I think they were first out in my yard in early or mid April.

That's when I saw the first one, it was tiny and the bite was small. They just now started to get bad though (first large bites Mid-May).

Anyway, here were today's U.S. highs, mostly 70s-90s with the exception of the Rockies, the Pacific, and some northern areas.
Also, look at the temperature jump between west and east Minnesota, huge!




Tomorrow is all (minus high elevation areas) 70's + except the pacific coast and rockies

With all that rain mosquitoes are going to be the size of birds in the Southern Plains this summer... And there will be swarms of them



Big question is how will the wet weather down there, effect my summer here in the Midwest?

We've had just a little bit above average rainfall for the month.... But it's been below average for months now.
