First of three straight 50+ days. It got to 55 here. Hopefully we build enough of an advantage over 1932 to insure against the closer to average temps on Tuesday. (It will still average above normal because of overnight lows.)
Yeah we were close to normal because of that one storm, but people in the city and west of there had snowfall in the teens.
That was an annoying winter because it had the potential to be more.
I think it'll be okay, we'll reach 40 during the day and the real cold air probably won't come in until Tuesday night.
The 31st of any month is "fake" anyway lol.
Since we shift normals every 30 years, I think the absolute temperature will probably either remain steady or slowly rise, but it may change relative to the current "normals"
This will have (already has) had dramatic impacts on sea life.
They've been underdone in the short term this winter-- I see the local forecasts are now going for 3 straight 50+ days too.
Over the longer range they may be overdone though.
high end moderate to strong is good, very strong is okay, if you like big snowstorms, especially for the south shore of Long Island, which had two of its biggest storms ever in February 1983 and January 2016.
Yep and on bare ground too, that really was one weird winter.
We did have a couple of other minor snow events, one around superbowl weekend and the other one was when the big crane fell in Manhattan...but those basically sideswiped us.
I know! It's like an endless Fall that never truly became winter outside of a 4 day stretch of dry and cold in late December...maybe not even like Fall...more like Spring?
I've seen early Aprils that were colder than this! =\
Hopefully that target to greenify the city (30% green by 2030), rooftop gardening and urban farming helps with that as there are some real health issues associated with UHI (and with processed food.)
Our first freeze doesn't happen until later November now-- that's like Atlanta or worse lol.
I got alerted to that the year you were in Austin.... JFK became only the second place on the east coast to get 40 inches of snow in a winter that averaged 40 F for the entire winter. The other place....Norfolk Virginia lol.
