Lows:EWR: 10 (1990)NYC: 1 (1914)LGA: 12 (1990)JFK: 12 (1990) Interesting that a couple of weeks after this we were in the mid to upper 80s lol 1990 - Snow spread across the northeastern U.S. Massachusetts was blanketed with 8 to 15 inches of snow, 5 to 10 inches was reported in Rhode Island, and totals in Connecticut ranged up to 10.5 inches at New Canaan. In central New York State, snow and high winds resulted in a number of chain-reaction multiple accidents, and a total of 108 persons were injured. Snow and high winds created white-out conditions along Interstate 87 in Saratoga County NY. Subzero cold was reported from Minnesota through Michigan to northern New England. Duluth MN reported a record low of 26 degrees below zero. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) Did we get any snow out of that, Tony? 2010: A powerful nor'easter spread significant snow and windy conditions across the Middle Atlantic region from Thursday, February 25 into Friday, February 26. An area of low pressure developed off the Carolina coast late Wednesday night, February 24, and then strengthened as it tracked northward to near Long Island, New York, by Thursday evening. As low pressure aloft deepened over the Mid-Atlantic coast Thursday night into Friday, the surface low retrograded and moved westward into northern New Jersey and southern New York. By February 27, the low pushed into southern New England and gradually weakened over the weekend. Strong wind gusts were measured throughout the Middle Atlantic region due to this coastal storm. Some of the highest wind gusts recorded include 62 mph measured at Cape May, New Jersey; 52 mph at the Atlantic City Marina; 51 mph at the Mount Pocono Airport and Lewes, Delaware; and 50 mph at Dover Air Force Base. In addition, wind gusts of 40 mph or higher were recorded in Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Allentown. Considerable blowing and drifting snow resulted, especially from the Poconos eastward into northern New Jersey. Snow drifts as high as 3 to 5 feet were seen across portions of Warren and Sussex counties in New Jersey. Total accumulations of 20 inches or more were recorded from Morris and Sussex counties in New Jersey, westward into Monroe County, Pennsylvania. In addition, a band of 12 to 18 inches of snow accumulation was measured from Warren and Morris counties in New Jersey westward to Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. In addition to snow that accumulated during the daytime on Thursday, many locations across the region experienced a heavier burst of snow with gusty winds Thursday night into early Friday, thanks to additional moisture wrapped around the low-pressure system. Some areas saw snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour, mainly from northern New Jersey and into the Poconos. Central Park ended the month with 36.9 inches of snow, making this the snowiest month since records began in 1869. The anniversary of the snowicane!!

If we are cold for that many days we'll be the only part of the country that is. Looks like 90% of the country will be warm throughout including the upper midwest.

Isn't this well predicted by climate models? The core of the cold will be going to interior mountainous locations while near coastal areas will warm more quickly.

Walt could you shift that like 10 miles south, it cuts off part of Long Island. 6-12 inches of snow might be a little underdone. Mt Pocono in the deep orange with 36-48 inches of snow?

Was the October extreme -AO foreshadow the one we just had? We're also seeing a growing disconnect between the AO and the NAO.... was the NAO at all negative with either of these episodes?

someone needs to invent an atmospheric dehumidifier....

Long Beach?

Oh look even Phoenix and Mexico have more snow than we had this season.... as an aside, why are names of other places stolen?

it would have been better if it never happened

dumping particulates into the stratosphere will help though .....

Really can't trust AI after that horrible double mistake it just made. AI should not be relied upon.

But who is going to correct AI? 1834? 1800s?

Funny how AI messed that shit up, did you see where it said that temp happened in 1834 and not 1934? It doubled down on its mistake by saying it happened in the 1800s lol. That was no typo.

anything below 0 has to be considered frigid. To give a scientific definition of frigid I would say top 10%tile of cold. Same goes for historic snowstorms.

wow thanks and there was a three day snowstorm in the mix!

Yeah at least get it into the single digits for it to be considered cold average temps are dumbed down nothingburgers

Wow you could write a book about this (I've seen a few documentaries about this and how these forever chemicals are in over 90% of all life on the planet now and even in our brains.) Yes the EPA knew about it even going back to the 1960s. DuPont has done a lot of bad things over the years and allowing them to merge with Dow was combining bad with bad = superbad.

Wait it was 61 in NYC on December 29th? I thought the last time it was 60 was on December 11th?

I like that it's cold water! And I'm glad we don't live in a warmer climate like what Texas has. Did you hear about brain eating amoeba down there? It killed a child down there, his parents were doing a birthday party slip and slide for him and used their garden hose and the brain parasite made it into his body from the garden hose into his nose. He went into a coma and passed away. Very sad story.

I blame DuPont and 3M for all of this, they had safer alternatives but they didn't use them because of cost. On top of that they dumped millions of tons of the stuff into the waterways.

I would probably have extreme allergies down there, high humidity is an invitation for mold.

What are those things like? They look fun.

Is that a tap filter or something like a Brita?

Thanks for the research. I read that Long Island water has more of it than any other place in the state. I see NY and NJ both finally started testing for PFOA/PFAS in drinking water too.

How warm are we talking about Tony-- 50s but nothing 60 or higher?
