  1. why is it so cold up here? you'd think with heat that strong it would push its way up here?
  2. And did the recent -PDO start somewhere around 2017 (right after the super el nino)? And as for the AMO did that switch to negative a few years ago too? Thanks, it's good to know where we stand. After seeing that giant sunspot on the last day we had sunshine here (Wednesday) I know we're in for a HUGE solar storm this weekend (and maybe Northern Lights even down here). But it's not looking good for next winter at all.
  3. Is there any fixed or approximate length to these cycles that we could calculate how long they last? Looks like the AMO cycle is also important for our winters.
  4. Saturday will be absolutely amazing with clear skies, I hope we get to see the northern lights!
  5. it's around a 20-25 yr cycle I think we had this same cycle back in the 70s to the first half of the 90s, it flipped in the mid 90s. 1967-68 to 1992-1993 was a -PDO? That means a 25 year cycle I'm thinking it will flip again around 2042. We have awhile-- but it doesn't mean that we won't get good winters, they'll just be extremely rare. We still had 1977-78 in the middle of that cycle but that was the only really good winter. Aside from that we had an HECS in February 1983 so that's the only other possibility- one HECS to make the entire winter near or slightly above average for snowfall.
  6. and now we're getting a giant solar storm!
  7. Why is the wind coming out of the south here? I noticed it's westerly over NJ, typically with a strong west wind it pushes all the marine air offshore and the west wind makes it to the coast after a frontal passage.
  8. It was 52 here last Sunday, I think it will probably be about the same as that. Man, that day sucked lol. Windy to boot!
  9. It's almost impossible not to hit 50 this time of year. So I'll go with climatology and say we will at least get into the 50s.
  10. yup looks like the rain comes back after the beginning of the week.
  11. I was looking at the 7 day and it looked like partly sunny Monday - Wednesday. Our pattern seems to be nice the first 2-3 days of the week and wet and cool for the second half of each week.
  12. this is probably 10 degrees too cold.
  13. after Sunday it will be warm and dry again
  14. yes my favorite kind of weather-- except for some reason we dont have a west wind here?
  15. I dont believe it, temps usually overperform
  16. Protest against your employer instead of doing everything you are told to do.
  17. I remember seeing this map with correlations, with the midatlantic being warmer with a -NAO and new england being warmer with a +NAO and we were in between (that is much less of a correlation, at least during the spring and summer.) 2010 was definitely our warmest spring and summer on record going by 90 degree days and several years in the 90s were right behind-- specifically 1991 and 1993 as well as 1999 and 2002. 1983 was another one that was extremely hot with number of 90 degree days.
  18. 2010 was definitely the hottest on record, but 1991, 1993, 1999 and 2002 came in right after that. 1983 held the record before that.
  19. the 1990s were much hotter and drier dude, compare this spring to spring 1991 in New York City that was one of the hottest summers too, along with 1993 and 2010. Check out maximum length of heatwaves 1990s vs now. Specifically between 1991-2002.
  20. it's because of lower humidity and much drier air back then I loved that climate, I hate high rainfall and lower high temps.
  21. There is a reason why this is happening-- it's raining much more now than it did back then. The extreme amount of rainfall and high soil moisture is the reason why high temperatures are being blunted-- I hate it! I love high heat and low rainfall and low humidity.
  22. Yes this is why action has been delayed. It's very similar to what happened with PFOA and the sugar cartels too.
  23. Thats why I said I would cap all hurricanes to Cat 1 and all tornadoes to EF1, up to then it's fun and rare.... anything past 1.... no thank you, Florida can handle it a lot better than we can.
  24. 79 here now, it's really nice!
  25. High of (edit) 79 here about 5 miles east of JFK
