health workers want to go to permanent standard time though. The solution is simple, schools should start later. There is NO reason to start school at 8 am or earlier. The school day should be no longer than 6 hours, 9 AM TO 3 PM. I HATED waking up in the morning even back then and was routinely either late or simply skipped the first class and told the teacher to just give me the tests and I'll Iearn on my own and take them myself. They usually obliged (I took the tests in their office when I was high school and helped them with grading tests so I got extra privileges.)

Yes they were, it looked like being on Mars and it smelled like being in the woods :-)

That three day total in February 1920 was the greatest winter storm in NYC history and would have been 50" of snow if it was all snow.

I can explain the triangle part, that's the only geometrically sound way to serve a round pizza. Just think about how a round object is sliced into equal pieces. As far the square box is concerned, well, it's cardboard and this is how cardboard is typically made. Women are harder to understand than any of the above though.

Yes, this is why it's so much easier to hit a forecast for rainfall than it is for snowfall-- rainfall has more areal coverage in our part of the world. But elsewhere, like the Rockies, for example, a forecast for snowfall is more likely to be correct. They aren't on as much of a fine line as we are.

NYC climate history is a real treasure trove, there may not be another like it anywhere in the world.

Don how is 1917-18 on this list, wasn't that an exceptionally cold and snowy winter? I see how three prior periods of my life are on this list though: 1983-1986 1987-1990 1996-2000 Without a couple of storms, 1983-1990 could have been number 1 lol.

JFK record windiest winter at 35 mph on average Ironically their least windiest winter was 1995-96

government weather control device to promote wind turbines lmao

yeah this cold was widespread, Boston was cold DJF all three months too

at least for JFK, this has been the windiest winter, over 35 mph average wind speed. Interestingly, 1995-96 was the least windy winter.

He stated he was comparing it to the last 2 seasons when saying it was much better though.

the wind really sucks and made me sick last night. sunny and dry is fine without wind. don't want any big storms (the wind is more detrimental than the rain is beneficial), small amounts of rain are good, the side effects of the wind outweigh any of the benefits of the rain it's not dumb, we are doing controlled burns here, you can't control the weather, but you can definitely control the foliage-- remember that. We need to get it down to what it was 20+ years ago.

Matthew Belk from NWS Boston live on TWC right now talking about this winter said this winter the snowfall was 3x the last two winters so not that bad at 28 inches only slightly below normal (according to him). He said it was still a somewhat snowy winter although the wind was a bigger concern than the snow this season. They asked him how rare it is not to get even one noreaster in a season and he said he would have to look into that and get back to them.

Yep, we barely got the edge on two storms that got JFK a 4 inch and 6 inch storm in the same week but the rest of the area was fringed.

That could be them underestimating the speed of the Pac jet. We've had that here too much less moisture than modeled. The last storm was an exception though.

Yeah there needs to be a solution that involves desalinating the water from the Pacific and bringing it in to keep these moist. I remember seeing that in some of the 3D models.

interesting how recent Marches have become so warm so early, 2022 being a case in point (as was 2024).

wow that 70 mph report from Stony Brook is out of this world, probably closer to 60 mph here

the la nina this season was also a late bloomer so this is an interesting lag going on-- is it because we would be quickly switching from la nina to el nino to la nina and back to el nino from year to year?

we need it to stop that Pac jet. in past documented cases of this kind of Pac jet, an el nino was needed to put it to an end.

what were the highest wind gust reports? I didn't see any, I was too busy sneezing most of the night.

Just so you know, there's a few good forecasters who are optimistic about next winter; let's just say, they think it could be something between 1986-87 and 2014-15, this is dependent on a weak el nino for next winter. Don't lose all hope.

why what happened over there? are you going to resubscribe next fall/winter?
