are you familiar with the experiments done in the New Mexico desert with SO2 and the supercomputer simulations that show a 1C - 2C drop in temperature (but also a change in rainfall patterns.) The scientific community is divided on it, but the push to end fossil fuels really began a few decades too late and too slow to stave off the worst solutions without some human interference in the other direction. From what I've read, it's not an extremely expensive solution either and even nations like Indonesia will be participating (especially since island based nations have the most to lose with sea level rise.)

next year being a la nina after an el nino is probably out best chance to crack the 30" snowfall mark

how close were the late 80s/early 90s and late 90s/early 00s?

Yes, the temperature sensors should be properly located and I never understood why they were moved or whatever change that happened-- the only thing that makes sense is the article that was posted last year about them being worried about the equipment being stolen because it happened before. Is it about proper maintenance or did they actually relocate the equipment to where they think it's less likely to be stolen? And I wonder why maintenance would stop-- the Parks Service seems to be lax in its duties?

in a way tree growth is a really good thing, we need to greenify the city and get rid of this excess concrete (it's good to filter out air pollution too)

yesss January 2016 made up for EVERYTHING

and this is why I hate Miller B's

Don I take it that 1972-73 was too cold to make this list although it was the previous record holder for least snowfall in a season?

But it will happen and it might even need to happen if we're pushed to an existential threat.

I can't wait until we start modifying the climate. I mean, on purpose lol You know human nature-- we will go well beyond hope and start tinkering with it ourselves

I can't wait until we start modifying the climate. I mean, on purpose lol

honestly, people would be in a much better mood if it was 60 and sunny. People are sick and tired of the rain and gloom

I wonder where all that cold air in 1966-67 came from in the east, especially in a -PNA winter

don't get mugged

February 15 and beyond right?

We (NYC, EWR, JFK, LGA) haven't hit 60 at all in January have we, Don?

What would the temperatures have been today with a full day of sunshine, Don? This is the only time of year that Central Park can match Newark for temperature lol.

Greenskeeper is smoking the crack again.

for some it is their livelihood

January 26, 1978? 14-18 inches of snow when a quick change from snow to rain was predicted.

well at least we'll get some snow showers at the end of the storm then Monday morning. Something's better than nothing

isn't arctic air pushing down?

How much did you get in it, Ed? I remember the 30" came as far east as Hicksville (and they ended up with 50" on the season).

Depending on the amount of sunshine, Saturday may the warmest day

I thought you were jealous of Boston and SNE though?
