  1. it's just people in general, trust me if you did a poll 99.9999999999999999999% of people would say Orange County is in California.
  2. 2 at KFOK looks like they won't get to 0 or below
  3. it's difficult to objectively state what's *warmer* vs *colder* when the so-called averages change every 10 years. I think we should just go by the entire climatological record rather than just 30 year slices of it-- there's no scientific reason to choose 30 as the number of years to use to calculate the average.
  4. If it came back like 2018 did in March that would be amazing, but I don't think you see that happening either?
  5. I think it's useful to mention that we haven't had a single noreaster in at least a year (rain or snow), so it's going to be a real shock to many people if/when it does happen.
  6. Their summer temperature issues are a problem too. They should keep all temperature and snowfall measurements at LGA as the standard. Our airports have at least a 60 year climate record history, it's plenty long enough. Plus all airport climate records should be used as the standard for consistency. It's what they do in other cities.
  7. That bottom inch is the hardest to melt especially with it becoming more dense with time. Sunlight doesn't really melt it, higher humidity would though. Cold and sunny will keep snow around even if the temp is a little above freezing.
  8. it might be warmer here, but it definitely isn't rainy-- more like warmer and drier here than most other parts of the sub. we do radiate better than northern Queens does though.
  9. that would be a bigger bust than the snowfall lol
  10. wow NYC doesn't usually radiate this well. Must be the snowcover
  11. your dog was wearing shorts? that does sound interesting!
  12. it's useless if it changes to rain and all the snow gets washed away
  13. On top of all this Arctic sea ice is no longer a carbon sink
  14. But we did swing back to colder and snowier again in March and even early April in 2018, and that often happens in a la nina too. And even during that milder February (it got close to 70!) we had a nice moderate snow event around Valentine's Day.
  15. the orbits of the planets are ellipses it's true, but the eccentricity is very low, so all their orbits are close to circular. also, the earth is closest to the sun in January (91 million miles) and farthest from the sun in July (95 million miles.)
  16. lows for us at the airports and city
  17. might go below zero at KFOK I wonder what the earliest is that's ever happened ?
  18. right you can have a colder winter with very little snow, this happened a lot during the 80s...another question is even if the pattern breaks towards the latter third of January and February ends up milder, could there be a return to colder/snowier weather in March as has been the case with quite a few la ninas?
  19. Our cold spells seem to be much shorter than they used to be (but the same goes for our heat waves, 3-4 day heatwaves at most, longer ones seem to have become rare.)
  20. Yep it reminds me of what we had in 93, 95, etc.
  21. I think that was the last time we were below 5? I can't remember any time since then that it happened.
  22. I thought normal for late December was in the 40s lol
