I totally see it with our climate, it feels like spring now without much effort at all. And the farther north you go, the greater the warm anomalies are. Back in the 80s even if we had a mild winter we were usually guaranteed for at least 2 single digit arctic shots every winter. And even a winter like 1984-85, which had a historic below zero arctic shot was a mild winter overall. You just don't see that kind of extreme cold here anymore even in a below normal temperature pattern.

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.
