can you estimate snowfall for new york city going all the back to 1836 using these maps Roger?

FINALLY last night was very cold and windy but today is just great and tomorrow will be too, NO CLOUDS can you include sky cover forecasts too, warm weather is meaningless if it's cloudy or raining.

as long as we dont get onshore flow and lots of rain I'm happy with a hot dry summer like 2010.

screw wet, no one wants a wet summer, that needs to stay in the spring. Give me a 2010 repeat

any good analogs? The type of heat you're describing sounds like 1980

I hope he's okay. Not answering emails....

will you be going back to at least the Blizzard of 1996

wow I'm really going to miss that Mineola COOP =\

JFK, only 95, how is that possible. In July 2011 when NYC hit 104, JFK was at 103. The reason for relocating the ASOS to under the trees was to keep people from stealing the weather equipment? It doesn't make any sense why they would put it there.

too bad we don't have data from July 1977, that was our hottest day in my lifetime prior to July 2011

early 2010s was pretty wild for both of us, 3 out of the top 4. 1993-94 and 1995-96 were really good too, I guess the thaw in the middle of January lowered it somewhat. That was our most snowfall record. I'm surprised not to see that up there and also 2002-03 those were our only wall to wall winters, we had snow every month from November to April those two seasons.

2014-15 was one of my favorite winters of all time-- can you see where 2010-11 ranks on that list? And do you have numbers for JFK as well, since thats closer to where I live, Thanks!

is that 101 their site record?

I wonder if your new location hits 100 more often than your old location does, Chris? The years to look at would be the 5 years you mentioned (and also 2013).

This one is more constant. Yesterday (after 4:30 pm) it was like, one gust and then 10 minutes later another gust, etc lol.

The winds over here are stronger now than they were yesterday.

in the summer too, thats how JFK gets to 100+

Didn't you find it annoying that in 2013-14 you came so close to 100 inches and missed it by less than 4 inches !

Yes, there are some rules they aren't following, siting rules say they have to be a certain distance away from trees and such.

wow it looks like down on the south shore we'll get close to 80 too, not as warm as March 30th, but this is pretty close and not followed by a super cold front dropping temps by 40 degrees later.

I like the idea of storms not outstaying their welcome. 6 days of sunshine every week with temps between 65-70 is fine with me and one day of rain every week with temps no lower than the 50s.

This was the start of the historic 2002 heatwave, one of my all time favorite April memories! 12 years after that, JFK's latest freezing temperature on record! Also, it's times like this that I wish for data going further back for NYC, I wonder if NYC got any snow in this 1849 snowstorm? Records: Highs: EWR: 92 (2002) NYC: 92 (2002) LGA: 89 (2002) JFK: 86 (2003) Lows: EWR: 26 (1943) NYC: 29 (1928) LGA: 31 (1943) JFK: 32 (2014) Historical: 1849: Charleston, South Carolina recorded their latest freeze ever with a temperature of 32 degrees while 6 inches of snow fell at Wilmington, North Carolina. Snow fell as far south as Milledgeville, Georgia. A damaging hard freeze occurred from Texas to Georgia devastating the cotton crop.

lol I see you've joined the wanting dry/warm weather train.

That's very interesting. I have seen this before and it causes a lot of tree damage where the winds are strong. Well, it's windy today (around 40 mph).

cool April will come to an end beginning this weekend.
