  1. Ouch lol In that earlier period how many of those 6 < 10 inch snowfall seasons were between 1972-1997?
  2. 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.
  3. 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?
  4. it reminds me of just before the rain/snow line breaches the area you often get your heaviest snow.
  5. You'd think we'd have a summer like 1966 with all this dryness, why didn't that happen? 1966 was one of our hottest summers.
  6. Same thing here, Ed, one 90 degree high and one 89 degree high in August, it was a cool month.
  7. 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.
  8. But there was a time when NYC regularly got 40 inch snowfall winters, look at the period from the 1860s through the 1920s
  9. You must like turning on your heat, I don't even want to think about doing that before November
  10. I'm just glad it will be after the sun goes down, I'm going to pick up food in about an hour.
  11. 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.
  12. Humanity lived much more sustainably back then.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.)
  15. wait why would ANYONE have an opposition to air conditioning?
  16. Weren't those in November with all the warmth though? I do garden but it's mostly roses and some other flowers.
  17. 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....
  18. 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.)
