  1. la ninas after el ninos are our snowiest and coldest winters, the same thing happened in 10-11 too
  2. 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.)
  3. Hopefully we can beat 1932, I dont want this to be another one of those months where a fake 31st day keeps us from the record.
  4. it's been sunny all day today though
  5. 15-16 was much like 82-83, just warmer (except for that memorable VD though.)
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Yeah probably next year or the year after.... Fits right in with our boom or bust new climate.
  9. 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.
  10. We won't get another low of freezing or below this entire month, so that's another 1932 record we should beat.
  11. 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.
  12. Didn't Australia have its driest and hottest year on record and massive wildfires that killed a billion animals just a few years ago? What changed?
  13. strong el ninos are good for us because we get our biggest snowstorms in them
  14. Three straight days of 50+ upcoming, let's beat that Jan 1932 record!
  15. 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.
  16. ah I love stuff like that-- makes for some fun campfire stories! Getting some snow next week would be even more fun though!
  17. The cold is coming in after Tuesday (the earliest will be Tuesday night), so look for something right after that.
  18. It's fascinating similar things happen near Westhampton and Martha's Vineyard. But the Jersey Pine Barrens do have the and only Jersey Devil ;-)
  19. and this with a 3rd year la nina no less, who knows how much lower it will go with a strong el nino
  20. 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.
  21. Fun for extremes but outside of the 30" snowfall and the -1 winter didn't really happen lol.
  22. 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! =\
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. Reminds you of Dec 2015 doesn't it?
