Any type of trough would be more than welcome at this point. FWIW, I recall 2002 and 2009 having traces of snow in the area, so it's not automatically a death sentence.
Despite all of the warmth, I don't think NYC has had a record high temperature. Daily highs haven't been that impressive despite the consistent warmth and high dews.
I didn't think any areas had as much as 60" in the month of March alone. The highest I could find was the month of 45" in interior NNJ. Unless I misinterpreted your post?
I wouldn't go that far but cool autumns will probably be considerably harder to come by. I suppose a pattern perfectly conducive to troughing from September to November would do the trick.
To be fair, we did have a period of relatively cooler conditions from late 2013 to early 2015. That would probably help account for more than 10 months overall.
While some are hoping for a large scale pattern change, I'm just hoping for a couple of dry days with highs below 80 degrees with dew points in the 50's or even 40's.
Last year we were in the midst of a relatively chilly pattern that lasted until mid September, when we promptly roasted until November. Perhaps this year will follow suit but in the reverse direction. That might be a bit too optimistic, though.
Biting my fingernails here in Northern Warren County. Hopefully guidance shifts back to give a healthy amount of precipitation on the north and west side.
