After a relatively mild,snowless summer,it seems like Old Man Winter
doesn't want to give up the ghost just yet even though we're only 5 or 6
weeks from the 2017 Summer Solstice. Due to the Jet Stream dipping
unusually far to the south for this time of year, allowing for an
unseasonable intrusion of the Polar Vortex into the Northeastern US,
this spring is looking to be one of the coldest on record and certainly
May 2017 could go down as one of the coldest Mays on record because of this.For an example; here's the
listing of high and low temperatures for one such location in the
northeastern US and the NYC area in particular; White Plains,NY; a
suburban New York city in suburban Westchester County for how many days
in a row in which high temperatures have been below normal for this
location,the streak being current as of 11:30PM,EDT,May 14,2017, from
