  1. how come the years cant be seen in these tables?
  2. but it happened in 1996 for Long Island? April 1996 snowstorm to 80 degrees? April 2003 snowstorm to 80 degrees? April 2018 snowstorm to 80 degrees? Which of these comes closest?
  3. What was the high on this date in 2018 at JFK? close to 80 everywhere?
  4. those 4 were some of the best of all time though its worth it for the misery of the other years
  5. in reality most of these go into Asia, not here
  6. I remember there was also a hurricane just offshore that day.
  7. and also one of the coldest/snowiest. I remember the summer of 1995 was extremely hot and extremely dry with widespread fires on the east coast.
  8. wow, they even beat 2001-02? But not in NYC where the record high min of winter is 19 at NYC.
  9. Right, 2001-02 also holds the high min record at NYC-- 19 degrees. We've never had a winter where it didn't get into the teens at least once, but 2001-02 was very close (and also had the shortest freezing season of any winter.)
  10. I would say the first storm was a widespread advisory event and a warning event for northern areas, as you had to be away from the city and the south shore to get 6"+ of snow. The second storm was a lot better for us on the south shore.
  11. Hard to believe we were 70 degrees on this day in 2018 and we were 1,2,3 degrees on this day in 2015, and both years we had very snowy Marches.
  12. We're already past peak fossil fuel usage aren't we?
  13. Yeah this was bizarre how do you get such a wet snow that makes tree limbs sag down and even accumulates on wires making them sag, and yet it's a very high ratio snow of 20:1 and even 30:1? How can wet snow be a high ratio snow?
  14. and maximizing our potential (or nearly so anyway) is why this winter should be rated a C-. If that band with the heavy snow was 30 miles north, it would go straight to B+
  15. I think George's expression perfectly encapsulates the feeling lol.
  16. I mean it's already happening, the last two springs were very warm to hot and dry. I love it-- far fewer allergies for me. Now we just need to get rid of the rainy summers.
  17. there's no reason not to think we'll have a strong se ridge right through the spring and summer too.
  18. yes and very warm to hot springs with far fewer backdoor fronts.
  19. This seems fine, but the thing is we have had dry and very warm to hot springs the last 2 years, so I don't think it has anything to do with ENSO, because we hit 90+ last April in a la nina pattern. I just believe we're moving away from -nao, even in the spring time and back door fronts are becoming more rare here. Based on this and based on the last two springs, I strongly believe the better bet is to go for a very warm to hot and dry spring with multiple 90 degree days, both in April and May.
  20. it's also la nina after el ninos, I think all three of the big la nina winters (1995-96, 2010-11 and 2020-21) came after el ninos? I'm not sure about 2017-18 though....
  21. but why wouldn't it be like other strong el nino to la nina transitions and we torch all spring and summer don't need or want an nao block after March
  22. It's been talked about before, no one anywhere around Philly had 30 inches. There was also an erroneous report of 35 inches at Whitehead, NJ (not sure if I got the name right), which was thought to be the new state record for NJ, but that was invalided and the record went back to Cape May (of all places, the southernmost point of the state!) in the historic February 1899 arctic blizzard.
