The early part of the NYC snowfall record was much higher than it is now, plus you also have to include compaction since snowfall was measured near the end of the storm. If snowfall was measured like it is now, those earlier decades likely averaged over 40 inches of snow instead of the 32-36 inches using the old method.
the 1980s snowfall drought really commenced after the 1982-83 winter, I'd say it lasted from 1983-84 through 1992-93 if you want to cover a 10 year period. What was the JFK average for those 10 years, Chris?
1941: A remarkable aurora borealis or "northern lights" was observed as far south as north Florida on this night and the 19th. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)
wild, that must have been like the solar maximum we had in 2024. The aurorae must have been easily visible in 1941 just like they were last year here.
Virginia Beach with 8 inches of rain, this is a very concentrated system almost like a tropical storm. You have to be near the center to get most of the rain.
To be honest, I don't think it matters what us regular people think, it's useless to lose any sleep over what regular people think. Nothing will change until our oligarchs decide it's time for things to change.
Western Europe is warming like Western North America is warming, does having an ocean west of you increase the rate of warming? And why? One would think the opposite should be true (since the main flow of air is west to east.)
October of last year lol.
We might repeat that next month except without that annoying phantom *.01* to end the month.
I am a perfectionist and I want to see 0 one of these months....
Highs:EWR: 95 (1991)NYC: 93 (1991)LGA: 95 (1991)JFK: 90 (1991)
a straight sweep for 1991! In our truly great summers, like 1983, 1991, 1993, 2002 and 2010 we had temperatures in the 90s well into September (mid September or later.)
