The tropical season's large scale suppression during the peak of tropical season echoed the large scale suppression of rainfall and snowfall we have seen since last August. I think this is a shot across the bow of a switch in the AMO state to its drier state like we had during the 80s. Many similarities to that decade are now happening.

Listen to this bozo speak https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1902701079965380999 @SecretaryWright : "Net Zero by 2050 is just nonsense. It's an activist thing, and it's a top-down, big government justification to do mostly anti-human things... we will follow the math and the science and be honest about the tradeoffs here... If you could reduce greenhouse gas emissions without raising prices or reducing human freedom, that's a big win — and that's what the rise of U.S. shale gas has done." at least the British are much funnier.... https://x.com/PolitlcsUK/status/1902344491060613313 NEW: Reform MP Lee Anderson asks Keir Starmer how much the Earth's temperature would drop if the UK hit net zero tomorrow Starmer: "Net zero is of course not easy, but they'd have better ideas if they stopped fawning over Putin" #PMQs

I rank it with April 2003, we got about the same 6-8 inches in both storms. So maybe once every 15 years we get a storm like this? Those two storms prove snow can definitely stick well in April as long as the snowfall rates are high enough. April 2003 was an all day snowstorm!

I saw a snowfall map somewhere that showed even the NJ coast got 6-8 inches, we got screwed from both directions lol. NYC got screwed in the April 1996 snowstorm like that too, but at least we got 4-5 inches here near JFK in that storm.

Yes, starting next week.

NYC might go all four months DJFM without even hitting 70, has that ever happened before Chris? It must have happened at JFK several times before because of the sea breeze.

I love April snows, March snows always disappoint because we always expect more, but April snows are more cherished because you know it's the last one.

and the first half of April too, although the forecast for Spring as a whole (MAM) is still above normal, which means that it's probably going to be really warm for the second half of April and May?

Yes we need a high sea wall to keep that out.

Looks like March projections for temperature are dropping, Don?

on sunny days it's easy to hit 60 because of how high the sun is.

Yes, it would have been a truly warm March if we had made it to 80+ at least once. Thats my benchmark for a warm March.

Now this was a real March snowstorm (similar to the March 1956 and March 1967 snowstorms.)

Wait this can't be right, NYC did not get 4.2 inches, all of us got 8-9 inches out of that storm.

The April 2nd storm?

it was mostly a mixed precip event for us. My favorite storm in that pattern happened in April.

4/1/97 was a huge bust, we were supposed to get 8-16 inches but got 1-2 and Boston got 30 inches. That was like the 2004 ALCS

It's so dumb lol, and they should stay out of that sort of thing. If people don't have common sense to know what to do, then don't bother.

Where do these stupid sayings come from? Please tell me a met did not invent this. "When thunder roars go indoors" 1) thunder doesn't *roar* 2) if people need stupid phrases like this to be saved, maybe they're too stupid to be saved and don't bother? Use common sense, people. I'd replace it with *When thunder rumbles take a tumble* That's more accurate as far as what thunder actually sounds like. Plus, let them tumble.....

you should add April 1996 to this list, JFK had 4 inches of snow, Central Park as usual undermeasured.

why aren't you wearing a tshirt?

3. 10.0", April 12-14, 1875 ___________ 66 Apr 11 (60 Mar 30) This is pretty funny, 66 on April 11th and then 10 inches of snow over three days starting the next day? How did we have a three day snowstorm in April? 2. 10.2", April 3-4, 1915 _____________ 59 Mar 25 This one believe it or not, we got fringed as Philly got 20 inches of snow lol.

this weekend will be really good.

2002-03 was such a classic winter. I think the frequency is much higher when the prior winter has been very snowy.

Right now summer is more desirable.
