The only place I'm turning on the heat before November in my house is the space heater in my bedroom. Chris do you have the lows for the NYC area and Long Island from this early freeze? I think we had snow squalls in the Poconos when this happened.
-
thats amazing with how historically hot 1936 was all across the country! didn't 2019 have single digit or even near 0 temperatures near Thanksgiving after hitting 95-96 in early October??

Sounds so much like Ash Wednesday March 1962 and December 1992!!- 731 replies

analogs for this noreaster Don? Ash Wednesday March 1962 and December 1992??
-
Maybe we'll see something like this in the winter too.
-
it's like seeing two layers of clouds moving in two different directions lol
-
whats the latest that either or both had 4 consecutive 80 degree highs Don? I noticed the records for the date were from 1944 and 1949, both years had endless summers.
-
NYC adjusted upward? The evening news said the high at NYC was 79
-
80s isn't hot though (especially with low humidity) In my experience we get our first 80s by April and our first 90s by June. Our last 90s are normally in early September and our last 80s are normally in mid or late September.
-
How many tide cycles? We're just coming off the full super moon too. They're calling it a super Harvest Moon but I thought that only happens in September?
-
Wild, the Tunguska impact happened in 1908, could that have had an effect?
-
Perfect weather! Did you see the super Harvest Moon?
-
Even drier than the 1965-66 period Chris??

Wow is this the famous Laki winter that George Washington wrote about when stationed in Morristown NJ and experienced over one dozen blizzards and the ink in his pen froze? Was the -16 temperature in Manhattan recorded in January 1780?
-
Do they ever rank EF5/F5 tornadoes in terms of intensity? Which was the strongest of this very exclusive group?
-
Might be a volcanic influence too like what Laki did in 1782-1783 when we had over a dozen blizzards and pen ink froze.
-
1836-1837 is one of the listed winters when NYC and Philly received 100 inches of snow!! Constant snowcover from Veterans Day to St Paddys Day too.
-
Was JFK the only local area reporting station to hit 90 in October 2007? Their latest 90 on record too!
-
Oh I see you have two of my favorite storms in there, the February 1899 blizzard and the Knickerbocker storm from January 1922!! Both delivered over 30 inches of snow in one calendar month! When was the last time DC had 30 inches of snow in one month?
-
Nice 15:1 ratios for October 27th too!
-
Thanks so much Chris-- can you pull any older data about those reputed 100 inch snowfall seasons from the early and mid 1800s at NYC and Philly? How far back does this data go?
-
Do you think that back in the 1800s at some point DC averaged around 70 inches of snow though? And NYC averaged around 50 inches of snow? I can buy NYC averaging around 40 inches back in the early to mid 1800s so I guess that's close enough. I'm not familiar with DC climo to hazard a guess, but the highest I would go for them is between 30-35 inches of snow back in the early to mid 1800s.
-
Please note Scranton has several methods of getting accumulating snow that NYC is not able to get, like lake effect remnant streamers and also clippers that dry out as they cross the Apps. I have a place in NE PA I know that area well. Sometimes they'll get all day lightly accumulating snow just from a lake effect streamer.
-
Yes November 2012 on the 7th was my all time favorite early season snowstorm. Our earliest WSW event and we had 8.5 inches of a very heavy wet snow here. It was snowing on the south shore and raining on the north shore lol. Do you think we still would have had snow with that had that storm occurred on October 31 though? Freehold NJ getting 14 inches of snow from that was very impressive and must be their earliest double digit snowfall by at least a month lol.
-
wow man, Scranton PA averages around 50 inches of snow a year lol.
