This is pure fiction at this point, but accuweather has rain for the day of the eclipse lol. This long range forecast goes all the way out to May 6th! https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/new-york/10021/daily-weather-forecast/349727 Sun 4/7 58° /41° 20% Mostly sunny Mon 4/8 59° /48° 55% Cloudy most of the time with a touch of rain 55% chance of rain is really high for 17 days away Tue 4/9 63° /49° 25% Times of clouds and sun and back to sunny on Tuesday 4/9 lol Wed 4/10 63° /39° 70% Periods of rain in the morning; otherwise, cloudy wow wednesday 4/10 has a 70% chance of rain, so it's even higher

Ice made it all the way down to the Poconos

this is absolutely crazy Don, how can this happen in March, with no tropical air around?

This is really interesting. In a sci fi series I'm watching aliens who want to eradicate humans from the planet and make it more suitable for them to live on, dig a chamber under Yellowstone and fill it with water, thus hastening the eruption of the supervolcano, and the added water in the chamber they've been digging for 80 years would make it so much worse.

why did this volcano have so much water vapor in it?

la ninas after el ninos are some of our snowiest seasons on record. It happened in both 95-96 and 10-11 I know some have been mediocre, but I like this combo.

weak la ninas can be great and sometimes even moderate ones are good-- we just need to get out of this rut of warm Decembers.

We had a 15" storm near and just south of Mt Pocono in early January and February was okay too. You wouldn't happen to have seasonal snowfall numbers from the area around Mt Pocono to Lake Harmony at about 2,000 feet elevation would you? Thanks!

It's not so much that all el ninos aren't alike (which is also true), but it's that enso is only like 20% of a component of our weather, regardless of how strong it is.

Thanks, Don, the strong westerly wind did it for us plus more sunshine than expected.

Thanks Don, how come New Haven was so much cooler than Bridgeport (and even cooler than Westhampton?) Also, I have the high for NYC at 73, what was the high at EWR and LGA? Thanks!

Highs for today NYC 73 JFK 72 ISP 73 I dont have LGA and EWR numbers.

Thanks! Was yours worse early in the morning too? My pollen allergies go away after 11 am for some reason.

the tellies look good for flurries in the Catskills lol

Thanks Don, looks like their records go back almost as far back as NYC's do!

It's so interesting that Newark's 2nd and 4th lowest temperatures on record are from the 80s-- and it's so close to Manhattan so why was there such a big disparity from Central Park on those nights? Can you pull up Philly too-- didn't they hit -10 during the 80s, Chris? Too bad we don't have Newark data from the 1917-18 winter, it would be interesting to find out what they bottomed out at in that historically cold winter.

I wonder if the Middle Ages activity is repeating itself?

Yes, when the forecast from days out was for a high of 96 in the summer, I knew it was going to hit 100 72 at JFK!

hopefully that will stay in new england as it often does

It depends, it might be chilly for the first week of April, but don't expect it for the rest of the month.

no, winter is actually now two months long-- January and February.

today JFK set a record as did ISLIP, first day in the 70s-- both hit 72!

too bad it didn't occur a day earlier, then it would have been the greatest Christmas ever!

at least it will be sunny

it could also be that UHI around NYC has become too extreme to allow for -10 temps anymore.
