Hopefully JFK does too, I'd be extremely disappointed if they don't. Snow made it into the Poconos and Hudson Valley on lake effect streamers! I wonder if any accumulations were reported anywhere?
-
Let's celebrate the last freeze of the season! Pop some champagne at sunrise!
-
Wow, I love this sunset image. Have you ever seen pink snow? I have on two occasions-- January 2004 (sunrise) and February 2009 (sunset). Heavy falling snow turns pink through a sunrise or sunset.

Our best Arctic outbreaks that I can remember are: January 1977 Christmas 1980 January 1982 January 1984 January 1985* January 1994 February 2016 *this was our top Arctic outbreak

You live in a great radiational cooling area, I'm envious. We only get cold air here via CAA. Our temps closely match JFK.

Records:Highs:EWR: 88 (1991)NYC: 90 (1991)LGA: 89 (1991)JFK: 82 (1959)Lows:EWR: 23 (1982)NYC: 25 (1982)LGA : 25 (1982)JFK: 26 (1982) This was the earliest 90 on record before 2010. Is this the widest gap between record high and record low in the NYC record? I love this wide variance.

too bad no snow
-
I'm actually excited about it. I'm all about temperature extremes-- both high and low. It's rare now to get temperatures in the 20s this late. Lets see if we can get below 30, 32 is a lock.

Yankees home opener April 1996 was a classic and one of my favorites of all time! We had 4 inches of snow here.
-
it's absolutely amazing especially considering how much snow and cold there was in 2013-14 and 2014-15 (likely from the -EPO). We have other snowy/cold winters since then too, another example was 2017-18 (cold and snowy in January and March and even early April) and 2020-21.

Flagstaff, Arizona might be a better choice. Lots of snow + no light pollution = great starry skies !
-
That said, cheer up! It's bright and sunny and gorgeous blue skies! This is a lot better than rain or even just clouds at any temperature!
-
mountains near san diego get more snow than we do heh
-
any similarities between that and 2017-18?
-
what made 2010-11 so cold and so snowy in a moderate to strong la nina? we had very strong nao blocking for 2 years (2009-10 and 2010-11), maybe there was a carryover effect (la ninas after el ninos tend to be snowy.)
-
That's very interesting, we used to have a lot of below zero temperatures right up to the 80s. Since then it's only been in 1994 and 2016 that it happened and that's it. We used to average a below zero temperature every other year, now it's like once a decade lol.
-
It makes me wonder if it is happening at a slower rate well inland vs on our coasts (obviously Florida is a flaw in that theory lol.) Other factors could be that a stronger la nina encourages a stronger SE Ridge which would explain why they are not usually very cold. Something I've noticed with la ninas is that they encourage more huggers/runners (because of the stronger SE Ridge). But if a la nina happens after an el nino we tend to get more snow.
-
Maybe because of CC or some other factors, the area of extreme cold is becoming much smaller with time?
-
Yes stronger events definitely increase the correlation, I was a little confused by the *if a very strong el nino is very warm then a very strong la nina must be very cold* assertion, because it's a lot more complicated than that, we have to deal with ridge trough patterns, which depend on an interplay of more than one factor even in a very strong event.
-
Yes the best part is sunshine and no more rain. I hope we dont get any more rain for the rest of the month I am tired of it. I hope we have a giant ridge that moves everything well to our north like we used to get in the good old days (1991, 1993, 1995, 1999, 2002, 2010, etc.)
-
look at the 1910s as examples of that, maybe the 1800s too.
-
Yes, I read that the influence of enso state on our weather is around 20%. So it's not huge, but it does matter.
-
Looks like the pattern change to real spring weather happens by Monday. Sunny and 60s to near 70 all next week will be absolutely awesome!!
-
Looks like the rain will end Saturday and the sun will come out later Sunday per my local forecast. Next week looks nice, warm and sunny!
-
It makes it really unscientific. =\ You had such a high total from March 2018, I wonder if it displaces April 1997 as your greatest spring snowstorm? What did you measure in that storm, Ray, and what method did you use for measuring it?
