wild.... 1780 - On the coldest morning of a severe winter the mercury dipped to 16 degrees below zero at New York City, and reached 20 degrees below zero at Hartford CT. New York Harbor was frozen for five weeks, allowing a heavy cannon to be taken across the ice to fortify the British on Staten Island. (The Weather Channel)

headed for upper 50s here :-)
-
It didn't wait, it's all gone.

55 at JFK! I love these kinds of days in the summer, JFK would reach 100 before anyone else.
-
Back in the early 00s, how many winters in a row did JFK have a January mean below 32.0 Chris?
-
If this was July, JFK would be over 100 degrees with a westerly downsloping wind and low humidity, my absolute favorite kind of summer day.

That Hunga Tonga volcano with the expulsion of water vapor into the atmosphere? Water vapor is also a greenhouse gas.
-
Maybe that paper about our warming patterns resembling what happened to Venus might be accurate after all. Venus is clouded over all the time and their greenhouse warming is extreme.

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.
