March 2012 for you guys was a lot like December 2015 for us. Of note is that we got much colder after that and had a 30"+ snowstorm in January 2016 and even went below zero on Valentine's Day in February 2016. And the winter before that we had a -10 anomaly for the entire month of February 2015 and a lot of snow from January thru March. So many snowy winters starting from 2009-10 with 2011-12 being the rare exception dud winter.

hopefully with time UHI will get less because our cities are now trying to greenify with rooftop gardens and remove this ugly concrete and asphalt.

no it was an entire hot week near the end of March with the temperatures to the upper 80s in NYC near the end of the month. It also happened in March 1990 (and that was the year with the earliest blooming cherry blossoms) but in that case it was warm January, February and March with the mid to upper 80s in the middle of the month.

averaging sucks though, higher humidity causes higher overnight temps. Personally, I like higher number of 90 degree highs. we all know there is climate change, but it wont always result in warmer weather, it can cause more rain too, which will lower the daily highs.

You have a pesticide infested cancer infesting your posts, it's time we all write a letter to the admin to get Greenskeeper's account banned on here for good. The trash needs to be removed.

if anything we will reach 2.0 in short order, probably by 2030.

he's not that smart, his brain has been infested with pesticides

right, solar maximum is why so many are excited about the total solar eclipse next month, it's timed perfectly for some big solar storms.

hmm what kind of la nina was 2010-11?

2010-11 had great potential to beat 1995-96 in snowfall here but it basically stopped snowing after January lol. But the period from December 26th to January 26th had 2 20" snowstorms and a 10" snowstorm in between them.

it's actually calmed down here now.

it could be like several other la ninas where we had nice hot and dry summers followed by an active tropical season up here in September and October

let's hope we don't get the bugs that rain forests have

looks like both wettest and driest has gone up!

Poconos had a period of ice with this, up to 0.25" of ice in spots.

let's keep it to September and October I want a nice hot and dry summer like 1999

this reminds me a bit of that huge rainstorm near the end of September last year

if this brings a rainbow I'm all for it. why do you hate the sun so much? are you albino?

Same here, and we're getting a lot of these inside runners lately.

wasn't this a three day snowstorm? we don't get these anymore either

meanwhile accuweather is doing long range forecasts out to May 6th lol they have rain for the eclipse lol and sunny days both before and after that day (April 8th) https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/new-york/10021/daily-weather-forecast/349727

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.
