Perhaps but of note is that most of the time when December and January are cold, February is milder. Maybe just normal weather though, which is just fine as long as it snows.
-
But that still doesn't explain how Newark got down to -8 several times and Philadelphia to -10 and -11 during the 80s. There must be some reason that caps NYC to -2 that has to do with its geography vs Newark and Philly that can get much colder. I think the big change in climate happened after 1994 and not after 1934 (maybe after 1985 if you want to talk about yearly subzero outbreaks), because those other locations were still getting much colder.
-
it was in an ideal location for Allentown to JFK, the bullseye was almost a duplicate of what happened in February 1983
-
1780 also had a notable outbreak that got NYC down to -16, on January 23rd. It seems to be easier to get Newark and Philly to -10 than it is for NYC to get to -10.
-
we also had a nice snowy period around Christmas I think we'll have a wet period pseudo early spring but later on we'll go right back to warm and dry when real spring sets in, just like we have done the last 2 years.
-
a different climate up there, remember we are subtropical ;-) plus we have our driest January on record
-
Ray, do you expect an el nino next year or a second year la nina?
-
I shudder to think how cold the departures in the Deep South might be.... 1 Houston 2 Beaumont 3 New Orleans 4 Pensacola 5 Panama Beach
-
But Chris, Westhampton Beach regularly goes below zero and even Newark has gotten close to -10 many times during the 80s as well as Philly, so this particular stat might be because of UHI? Though the more recent change in not getting below zero arctic outbreaks as frequently at our city airports and the park since 1994 might be be more climate related.
-
it's so much better to have a near average cold month, those are usually more active.
-
ugh, the last thing we need is more cold and dry
-
right after that big snowstorm....
-
EWR: 68 (1967)NYC: 68 (1967)LGA: 68 (1967)JFK: 65 (1967) wow very warm on this date in 1967 in the middle of a historically snowy winter!
-
We might stay at or below freezing today and not break it until Sunday, Tony. When was the last time we had 7 straight days of 32 or below?
-
but a storm can be anything from a thunderstorm to a snowstorm to a rainstorm.... I like temperate cyclone as a descriptor because it describes the type of storm it is.
-
How does the wind get so high over there, that's over Cat 3 hurricane strength? And why call it *storm* instead of temperate cyclone? *storm* isn't very descriptive.
-
Thanks this describes the symptoms to a tee, an awful sore throat and a very dry cough, and then it progressed to wheezing and chest pain and being out of breath all the time (which is when I was really worried) but then that lessened. I read that it can progress to pneumonia, which is what really worried me.
-
I find this terminology a little weird.... why is it called *storm* Eowyn (a name from the Lord of the Rings?) instead of temperate cyclone Eowyn? *Storm* is a very generic term that doesn't really describe what kind of storm it is....
-
Maybe no need of a ferry if you can walk across the ice?
-
Can you walk across it?
-
on top of that many of those subzero outbreaks back then were without any snow cover at all-- I remember there was definitely none in January 1985.
-
Yes, I feel the same way, if it's sunny and nice, we go to spring mode lol.
-
+PNA is more important for us than the NAO that's for sure.
-
So were December and January, except January has been the driest one on record here. That's the fly in the ointment. It doesn't matter if it's cold or not, the dryness will likely continue.
-
It sounds a lot like here. We're having our driest January on record and it's not even close. I saw that Omaha Nebraska has even less snow than NYC does.
