    1962: A heat wave gripped the East Coast with high temperatures reaching 99° at New York City, 98° at Baltimore, MD and 96° at Philadelphia, PA (all either broke or tied records for the month of May.). Other daily records included: Greenville-Spartanburg, SC: 99°, Newark, NJ: 98°, Concord, NH: 97°, Allentown, PA: 97°, Richmond, VA: 97°, Athens, GA: 97°, Columbus, GA: 97°, Philadelphia, PA: 96°, Atlantic City, NJ: 96°, Roanoke, VA: 96°, LaGuardia, NY: 95°, Harrisburg, PA: 95°, Wilmington, DE: 95°, Charlotte, NC: 95°, Raleigh, NC: 95°, Nashville, TN: 95°, Hartford, CT: 94°, Lynchburg, VA: 93 °F. so close to getting our earliest 100 degree reading in May 1962!

    I have looked into some of the eastern winters of the 1940s to compare to the meek ones we had here, and Id have to say its probably the most different of any decade. Those winters sucked here. But I think a lot of it was due to dry weather and bad luck. Though there were some mild winters in the 1940s, the decade was easily colder than either the 1930s or the 1950s. But it sucked for snow. It is by far Detroits least snowiest decade on record (avg 28.7"). We had 3 major ice storms but no memorable snowstorms. In terms of the WWII years, 1942-43 was the best winter of the decade. 1944-45 was cold and white but very dry. 1941-42 and 1943-44 were very bare winters overall.

    Unmitigated disaster that is

    50s with 40MPH winds. Yeah not bad out lol.
  7. powderfreak
    Cold. 3,600ft... 31F 2,600ft... 35F 1,500ft... 39F

    I like the warmer Septembers and Octobers because I don't want to turn my heat on until November.

    1969-05-31 99 wild I didn't know JFK came so close to hitting 100 on the last day in May 1969, the 1960s were some period for extremes lol.
  10. LibertyBell
    but the wind has mainly been offshore this spring, no? why are the temps capped in the low 80s? Central Park hasn't hit 100 in a long time too-- I think the last time was 2013 or was it 2012?

    The climate has never been "stable" here and many other places. Stable is a place like San Diego or Barrow. As a matter of fact, Ive yet to see a more erratic grouping of winters than we had from 1875-1882 (see bottom). Just because the globe is warmer than it was, the actual climate was anything but stable from 1880 to 1870 here. The year-to-year and decade-to-decade variability always has and always will exist. If there is to be any longterm significant change in snowfall in the Great Lakes region, we will need a lot more years of data to come. Winter avg temp at Detroit (current avg is 28.4F for reference): 1874-75: 19.1F 1875-76: 31.0F 1876-77: 23.5F 1877-78: 31.5F 1878-79: 21.8F 1879-80: 32.5F 1880-81: 21.8F 1881-82: 37.0F (warmest on record to this day)

    We are flipping over to snow flakes at 3,000ft on the snow cam. 39F in the base area with rain.

    September is basically an extension of summer now.
  14. LibertyBell
    and last night and today are extremely windy, something no one predicted!
  15. donsutherland1
    For reference, CPC's May 15th outlook is still favoring a warmer summer.
  16. LibertyBell
    a lot of people go to the beach just to sit in the sand.

    Maybe the extremely cold and stormy 1993-94 winter was a holdover from Pinatubo?

    There is a lot more variance in relation to the impact of volcanic eriptions that folks realize.....depends where they are and how strong. The very strong PV of the early 90s was likely a byproduct of Pinatubo.
  19. 40/70 Benchmark
    I agree with this.

    1976-77 was dry, but one that turned very warm during the spring. 1978-79 was a very wet winter, but that followed a very dry fall. 1979-80 and 1980-81 were very dry winters. 79-80, I think, is the least snowy winter in Boston.
  21. 40/70 Benchmark
    Eh....from your area to NNE, yes....I hope to break even...def. bad for those south of me.
  22. A-L-E-K
    NAM selling a good soak for the whole metro, would be good timing
  23. 40/70 Benchmark
    Clearly I understand that...I wasn't implying anything about snowfall. I simply questioned the idea that a warmer climate wouldn't lead to an increase in mositure.
  24. LibertyBell
    So even other legendary cold months like January 2004 and January 1994 don't compare to what we had in February 1979?
  25. Malacka11
    This cooldown is bullshit.
  26. LibertyBell
    Besides 1977-78 weren't those other winters very dry?
