it can wait another day, I hate this pest at the end of January.
-
what? it's a great day, sunny too 45 and rain would be yuck spring birds are out here already I didn't know long island had such a variety of birds....
-
What if it keeps strengthening and peaks in March? Would that mean a really bad severe wx season?
-
Was this also involved with why that storm suddenly sped up and ruined our historically dry January, Don? In another thread I noted, it's like getting ready to eat a delicious cake and a pesky fly comes and lands on it and ruins it.
-
I still haven't seen a good explanation from anyone about what caused this huge speed change =\ -
this storm is an annoying pest because it ruins our historically dry January. It's like getting ready to eat a delicious cake and just as you're about to bite into it, a fly comes and sits on it...
-
well we can add 1998-99 to the list now too (note another no KU snowfall la nina that came after an el nino). So now we have 3. 1983-84 1998-99 2008-09 1991-92 wasn't a la nina was it?

How was January 1977 so cold on westerly downsloping winds? I thought NYC could only get below zero on northerly winds down the Hudson?
-
I think he's talking about the lakes causing higher night time lows for the east coast.
-
and hopefully a drier pattern after an anomalously wet period that lasted for a few decades.
-
Thanks I forgot how great this storm was in an otherwise lackluster winter. Beware the Ides of March! 6-9 inches of snow here! I think we had an event in January 1999 too, but we either got fringed or changed over in that storm.
-
he was also the head mod of our subforum lol
-
that offshore high looks like it's in a really bad spot for snow for our area.
-
We had a historically snowy March in 1896, over 30 inches of snow (still the record for NYC.)
-
a really bad severe season then?
-
But Atlanta didn't get that much snow they were fringed too. Maybe we could instead look at a city that got more than 3 inches of snow, for example Savannah.
-
Yes I see the projected monthly temperature for January at NYC has warmed well above 30.0..... the projection was as low as 29.4 just last week.
-
Thanks, I see large areas of warmth over Canada and Europe too. For a few years they've been talking about decreasing snowcover in the Alps and a shortage of water there because of it.
-
Siberia has been getting big winter heatwaves for a few years, +10 or higher departures (in C!). Was this heat wave on the same scale as the one they had a few years ago, Don?
-
How is it so warm when its been so cold and historically snowy in the Deep South? Do we have a population weighed temperature statistic for how the temperatures performed where people actually live (versus, let's say Siberia or Antarctica where virtually no one lives?)
-
but what exactly is *normal*? we have been anomalously wet for many decades and I would argue the dryness is a correction to normal rainfall for NYC which is around 40 inches per year. We are not the Gulf Coast and should not be getting 50 inch rainfall years.
-
I hope this is a sign for a lot of westerly flow for the summer We could use another summer that's hot and not humid a la 1966 and 2010.
-
Some people like this kind of weather over cold and dry. I'm not one of them but there's probably a lot of people who just want to see precip, regardless of what it is.
-
He's probably just saying the weather is more interesting when something is falling even if it's rain vs useless cold and dry.
-
If the ridge is so strong how did it magically speed up this storm to bring it on Friday? Every time I've seen a strong south east ridge, it holds a storm off to our west and doesn't let it come here for days.
