Any more snow?

If you know me, you know that my favorite type of weather is snow, so I love to play around with forecast models and see when we might see some more snow. And with the unusual cold we'll see this May, models definitely are hinting at snow.

Climatologically speaking, May is very late for snowfall in New England, though it's certainly not impossible, particularly at elevated areas in Northern New England. *I'm not one to typically post long term weather models (since they're typically not the most reliable) - but I do in this post, so take these with a grain of salt*.

Here's the NAM, showing light snow in parts of Northern New England overnight tonight. This one can certainly verify.

The GFS shows some heavier snow in parts of southern VT, NH, and the Mass. border for Saturday afternoon.

And just for fun, the GFS' total snowfall through Saturday, May 16, showing some accumulating snow all the way down into CT.

These maps don't mean too much, and its unlikely that we'll see any snow at non-elevated areas, though its always fun to speculate!
