any idea why this happened? was there a volcanic eruption that year?

Did we hit 50 for an overnight low somewhere in the mid 80s in August too? The very first time I saw the Perseid meteor showers the sky conditions were the best they've ever been for them-- clear skies all three nights and very chilly weather, I remember it got down to 50.....it was in 1986 I think? edit-- I saw it's topmost in your list! That was my first ever Perseid meteor shower and the first time in my life I saw shooting stars and the weather was never this perfect any year after that! Just like early fall!

I'd much rather see 100+ highs dew points are boring "80" is just a regular number

we had 90s in April in 1977 didn't we-- just like we had in 1976. and the 1977 summer had a historic heatwave the likes of which we didn't see again until 1993.

But if we were around and on here back then we would have hated the 76-77 winter, it was a waste of cold air. 2014-15 was MUCH better.

Thats why 2014-2015 was such an awesome winter.... snow and cold. 1976-77 was a colossal bore, I am glad I was not aware enough to remember, cold without snow is a huge waste and energy burden and we had some huge energy problems in the 70s.

Thanks, it's what I saw too. Pretty much all of upstate NY is in the 60-80 percent cloud cover range.

Wow, AI can benefit us in multiple ways. I look forward to the time when AI will replace all forms of government, or at least, assist them.

The earth has always changed but the planet has not been hospitable to human life through most of its existence. Do we really want to return to the Mesozoic era? Or even worse, the Paleozoic?

oh you're going to get an amazing view as long as the weather cooperates.

a 2010 repeat (both summer and winter) would be nice!

I'm looking forward to a 2010 repeat and a winter like that to follow....

hot and dry is what we want

for good snows next winter too

I think at some point, we'll have to start pumping all this excess water off the planet....

We might have to start dumping all this extra water into space.... maybe ship it to Mars for the new colony?

wow it's not even summer yet, what are the implications for the summer for these places?

The cooler period will likely just be from March 19-25..... the best it will give us is our last freeze in the city and close in suburbs. Hopefully cool and dry since it wont be cold enough for snow.

Well, maybe they do better with cloud cover forecasts? Do you have any advance thoughts on what the cloud coverage might be like for Syracuse on April 8th for the total solar eclipse, Chris?

Tony any advance forecasts for cloud cover for Syracuse for the total solar eclipse on April 8th?

It's not even summer yet lol. Do you have any advance forecast for cloud conditions for the total solar eclipse on April 8th in the region of totality (I'm looking for the forecast for the area near Syracuse.)

I dont blame "weenies" I blame the people who designed these models, do they not know how to debug and correct these models? all programmers know how to debug...... they should theoretically be able to adjust the way they handle the MJO when they see these errors occurring.

time to vacuum the ocean and send all that water to Mars for a new colony to use.

dry and warm is definitely the best weather if it's not going to snow

wow that sounds like some amazing memories. 1944 and 1948 were extremely hot at JFK and so was 1953 and 1954 and 1955 from what I've read and of course 1966. And they got to experience some amazing TCs too like the 1944 hurricane, Carol in 1954 and Donna in 1960! And in 1947 they got the HECS of record for that period, the day after Christmas! The original Boxing Day Blizzard!
