you're not wrong wtf does NYC have so many parades? and the trains are always packed with people right after.
-
the media are corporate buffoons, they concentrate on effects rather than causes.
-
This is much more like a late 80s winter with the southern snowstorms and less snow here. A better match would be 88-89 even extending to December 1989.
-
The storm tracks were radically different from that season though.
-
This has also muted our summer heat in terms of extended heatwaves of 7+ days as well as extremely hot weather, 100+.

Records: Highs: EWR: 79 (1990) NYC: 77 (1990) LGA: 74 (1990) JFK: 72 (2024) Lows: EWR: 14 (1993) NYC: 14 (1993) LGA: 14 (1993) JFK: 15 (1993) What a contrast! Was this peak cold for 1993, Tony? I had forgotten it was 72 here on this date last year!
-
This is just from the Sunday-Monday storm, Tony? Or is there something coming after that? Because that one storm alone is supposed to give us 1-2 inches.
-
yes this high humidity murky stuff is horrible and increases mold spores a lot. Sunny and 30s is -MUCH- better than this.
-
Yes and I see we had frequent temperatures in the low 90s during the so-called cold late 70s, like 1976, 77, 78 all had temperatures at or above 90 in April even though the ocean was MUCH colder back then! JFK at 85 before March 15th is absolutely awesome lol. I wonder what the SST was?
-
ah so its higher score of .627 means it's actually worse? Then it means the only winter on that list with less snow that was better was 1877-78 with 8.1 inches of snow.
-
the middle of next week will be really good everywhere with lots of sunshine.
-
Two days of this crappy weather lol Rain is way better than this murk.
-
Interesting that 1954-55 is ranked higher with only 8.0 inches of snow lol. Was that an el nino winter, Don? I know the following winter was really good and a la nina.
-
Is it unusual to have it so early? I thought it usually begins around April 15th, right after Tax Day.... and what causes it a negative NAO?
-
Well, I would compare it to Japan and wish we had their climate, look how much snow they get up there on the north coast of Japan! I love temperature extremes, I hope we get 100 degrees here during the summer at the coast on a nice westerly wind.
-
I can't imagine how they could make a bulletproof bikini. You'd need some kind of force field around the parts of the body that aren't covered. Stormlover is right, this is an image that can't be unseen!
-
NYC would have the lowest crime rate in the world .....

a vicious circle aka feedback loop

That last event with over 1.5 inches of rain hopefully helped. We'll be okay if we get 1-1.5 inch rainfall events every 10 days or so. People like nice weather lol. At least we aren't getting the horrible flooding that causes rivers in those counties to rise out of their banks and make people have to abandon their homes which was happening every year for the last few years until now.

https://www.weather.gov/media/okx/Climate/CentralPark/monthlyannualprecip.pdf We haven't had under 40 inches of rain in any year since 2012. Even 2002 had 45 inches of rain. 2001 had 35 inches of rain, that drought must have started then. From 1869 to 1971 there was not a single year in NYC with 60 inches of rainfall. The first time it happened was in 1972. Since 2006 it's happened 6 times.
-
it's like with the temperatures, we compare it to long term normals vs recent normals. We also need to discuss the highly abnormal amounts of rain of the past 20 years. If we end up with annual rainfall in the 40-45 inch range it's still normal. If it's below 40 inches then I'd start to get worried.

It's lawn mowing time around here...
-
It sounds just like Charlie Brown, Snoopy and Lucy!
-
Sounds like the warming happens in periodic jumps rather than a smooth rise. Is the warming resulting in more extreme el nino events that cause this?
