Not necessarily. We live on a smaller continent where the Pacific Ocean dominates. This isn't Asia. I've actually played with 3D simulations where you can geoengineer the planet and the only way the country turns into a desert is if you create a large mountain range like the Himalayas. It's useful to consider geoengineering to stop sea level rise and to limit the death toll that severe weather outbreaks and hurricanes cause. Removing the gulf would definitely stop lethal severe weather outbreaks and some of our worst hurricanes. Of course this is all hypothetical, there is no real way to eliminate large bodies of water lol. But it's interesting to see what the planet would look like if it was changed.

High Rockies like Montana and Idaho have warmed much less and possibly even cooled a little.
-
Saw the coverage on the ground and via helicopter by WABC, that was downright scary! How often do we have confirmed tornadoes in January or February in our area? This one will be confirmed tomorrow.
-
It's not about a new climate, more like a repeating pattern that lasts for a few summers. You can still have very dry summers, I'm not saying this will last forever, but it can be a drought that lasts a few years (at least during the summer), especially with a west to east flow. We had this in the 80s and 90s too. I absolutely hate the Gulf of Mexico, that would be the first body of water I'd get rid of. FYI you can still have very humid summers but without much rain. I've experienced many of those here.
-
and I am telling you, that dryness is expanding east as years go on and we are going to have that here, doesn't matter what the Atlantic SST are. Last summer was not a blip, that is going to be the new pattern going forward.
-
How is it disgusting to have perfect air quality, no humidity and zero air pollution?
-
I think a few of them were in the early 90s when NYC had some of its worst winters-- consecutively
-
Sooo much better than yucky fog and rain and all the other stuff that makes me want to boil away the Atlantic Ocean lol My dream is to see an April 1982 type blizzard in the first half of April and for the second half to be like April 2002 lol-- that would be my perfect month of weather....snow to summer.....summer to snow, the ideal year lol
-
our record low from today is from Feb 2015....2 degrees here Feb 2015 also had the latest single degree low in my memory.....on the last day, the 28th! I wonder when the last time is we reached single digits in March?
-
April 2002 was one of my all time favorites the bluest skies I've ever seen here with temps in the 90s for 3-4 days and low humidity
-
01/02 was also enhanced by climate change that was one scary winter the warmth rolled right into spring and summer
-
hopefully not-- when you have less than 6 inches of snow on the season, the following springs and summers are generally warm to hot
-
Thursday could do it
-
AI wrote that forecast lol
-
so rather than "luck" we have the -pna to blame for the bad December outcome.
-
Sounds like very tropical air, but still it's hard to believe a 91-87 split with over half an inch of rain lol. It would be interesting to see the weather maps of that day. Do you know if they measured relative humidity back then? Perhaps the dew points can be calculated with that?
-
April 1996 and April 1997 being cases in point.
-
Thats crazy how is that even possible? What were the highest and lowest dew points that day?
-
But there are reasons that second wave wasn't normal strength.....looking at in hindsight, what we can say with accuracy is that the December outcome wasn't a surprise because the entire winter has been like that.
-
Other places that stick out into the ocean get more snow in March than NYC or western LI does, that we do know is related to UHI....the more urbanization, the harder it is for snow to stick late in the season
-
also check out March 1967 this was common in the 60s
-
Yes NYC hasn't had one, but as you said earlier, we'd be happy with a 4-6er right now lol. I think that can be done, it happened in a similar warm winter in 1997-98 pretty late in March too. Even a 6-8er is possible.
-
Might be interesting for the Poconos, I'm going to start going there again starting in March, it would be interesting if there was snowcover there when I get there.
-
This would be an interesting experiment and I'm wondering if this is what happened in the 50s to give them that high March average. The 80s too maybe, though high March snowfalls didn't stand out as much back then, maybe a couple of interesting back loaded winters that could be compared if that does happen again.
-
lol this has like a -100% chance of happening
