wow we've only hit 70 once in January since 1950?

someone needs to destroy the pacific and atlantic oceans and then we would

1931-32 and 1932-33? Did both winters end up over 40.0 by the time winter ended?

Think we'll end up above 40.0 this winter just like we did last winter? I assume by winter, we're talking about DJF only?

we acknowledge Westchester county as the northern limit of the tristate area and lower Westchester at that! I loved drawing maps and there's a map I drew in 3rd grade that draws all 5 boroughs of NYC and Long Island, wellllllllllllll I didn't draw anything west of Staten Island and north of Westchester I labeled as "North Pole" It's not my fault, it's what our telephone directories showed lol.

I think for places like Dublin, London, Seattle, etc, they have a reputation for a lot of rain but it's mostly drizzle, mist, and number of cloudy days (which are just as bad for my allergies). They don't have the high rainfall totals some other places do, but being cloudy and misty and drizzly so much is just as bad.

I think that was the winter they had 50" of snow in Monmouth County and we received about 25" lol One 6-7" snowstorm in January I think?

exactly! I took benadryl yesterday because my allergies hit hard so its effects haven't worn off yet and hopefully they last through this yucky period

this hopefully means we will be hitting 90 by April

Forget them-- want to see real snow? I just found this!

sunshine would be so much better

wow, none of these storms dumped snow like that up here! 1987 - The second major storm in three days hit the Eastern Seaboard producing up to 15 inches of snow in Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. Up to 30 inches of snow covered the ground in Virginia following the two storms. (National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

wow so it was the coldest winter since 1780, Tony? any snowfall info on this winter? Ludlum mentions that both NYC and Philadelphia received 100" of snow a few times in the 1800s. 1821 - The Hudson River was frozen solid during the midst of the coldest winter in forty-one years. Thousands of persons crossed the ice from New York City to New Jersey, and refreshment taverns were set up in the middle of the river to warm pedestrians. (David Ludlum)

That same year we had a major hurricane hit Manhattan directly lol

wow looks exactly like the total we got on the same day a year later ;-) maybe the NWS was predicting it a year in advance!

The one the following year more than made up for it.

when did Mother Nature decide that we're in Ireland?

It's not an exact science and nothing is perfectly predictable.

be glad if you even get an inch or two out of this, that's all one can expect.

we can say and think this but the major media outlets are already calling for a change to snow on the coast late Sunday night and into Monday morning and by major media outlets I mean Lee Goldberg, I haven't watched the others lol

But why has our climate become like Ireland's lol

Yes, it's not the numbers that count, it's the memories that count! I still remember January 2009 for all the days of snowcover even though it didn't snow a lot, but it was cold that month and what snow we had stayed on the ground for a few weeks.

How do you know it's covid? I never got tested for whatever I had in October, but I was sick for 3 weeks with a 103 fever and a persistent dry cough as well as dizziness and just could not get out of bed at all. The dry cough persisted for another few weeks after I had recovered. I took a bunch of medications to get rid of it 1) antibiotic (amoxicillin, so not a very strong one) 2) sudafed for the congestion 3) benzotate for the dry cough 4) imodium (because it was accompanied by an upset stomach at the start) 5) mucinex for the congestion also 6) benadryl (to sleep better at night) 7) advil for the fever 8) doximycin (second antibiotic I held in reserve in case I needed it, but never took it) 9) theraflu for the flu symptoms 10) robitussin for the persistent cough 11) cepacol cough drops my fever would rise really high in the evenings and I would be shaking and take all these pills again (I took them mornings and evenings, so twice a day).

The Pennsylvania Ring-necked Pheasant Management Plan 2008–2017, completed in 2009, laid out a two-pronged approach to pheasant recovery. First is restoring wild birds in designated recovery areas. Second is providing put-and-take hunting. The numbers are based on the roadside bird count in 2005, which was less than 20 years ago. Hence the management plan.

Yep, it will also alter rainfall patterns, but the tests have already happened in the New Mexico desert and it looks like the plans are going forward (by several nations) starting in 2030 and to be continued every year to maintain a 1C-2C drop in temperatures.
