  1. It's why people who say meteorology is a pseudoscience are wrong but what IS a pseudoscience is thinking that computing averages has any value whatsoever. The climate has changed throughout the history of the planet, so we shouldn't be computing averages based on very subjective 30 year snapshots. I wish we would stop talking about averages altogether as that makes it seem like the climate "should be" static.
  2. Some of them have been amazing for snow. Also let's not forget that el ninos have been among our worst winters ever too. ENSO only controls about 20% of the winter outcome here
  3. Hey April 2018 was AMAZING I loved that 6 inch snowstorm
  4. if anything the IPCC predictions have been way too conservative
  5. it makes a strong case for government takeover of all corporations and a requirement for them to publish ALL data
  6. 1996 was amazingly cold on this date....what a wonderful winter it was, had the big blizzard then a big thaw and then winter came right back in February and lasted through early April. Was NYC in the single digits back then too? I see JFK and EWR were.
  7. Mt Washington is interesting and I didn't know the stratosphere could get that low. I find the Himalayas far more interesting though, with the possibility of yeti running around up there lmao ;-) and huge mountains that are the stuff of legends.
  8. Wild how cold Dec 1989 was at MPO-- I can extrapolate that Jan 1994 must have been -30 or colder based on that. What is their lowest ever temp and when was it? Thanks!
  9. I noticed that both 1989-90 and 2001-02 stand out as temperature analogs for NYC and Boston,. (you bolded it in the NYC list too). 1942-43 was a wild winter too....that was the coldest since 1933-34 at both Boston and NYC....did 1942-43 also have direct Arctic shots coming right down the Hudson? I think NYC went below -5 a couple of different times that winter. 1917-18, 1933-34 and 1942-43 are the three cold winters that really stand out before the current era.
