How long do you see the theorized "cold" period lasting if it does happen? Not more than 2 weeks starting from President's Day right?
-
and humankind would not have been able to exist in that time period.
-
That's why we see huge bands of snow over the ocean on a cold sunny winter's day all the time. It's all being wasted on the fish lol.
-
Great South Bay effect snow!
-
Or move Long Island about 150 miles south?
-
that would also fix the sea level rise problem lol
-
How long do you see this upcoming good period lasting Chris? 2-4 weeks? Do you think it can actually hold on into the first half of March?
-
You dont even need to go that far back, it was MUCH warmer when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
-
it looks like it will be sunny most of the time too, which is just fine in my book. No more rain please.
-
How long do you see this good period lasting? At least 2 weeks to maybe 4 weeks?

PD1 was in 1979 not February 1983....which occurred on the 11th-12th.
-
This reminds me of January 1994 too when we got into the mid 50s a day after hitting zero or lower.
-
why is it so hard for everyone to be cold at the same time? when was the last time that happened-- 1979?
-
why aren't we getting northwesterly flow behind storms to clear the skies out like we usually do?

Extended summer stormlover74 future snow hole banter thread 23
LibertyBell replied to BxEngine's topic in New York City Metro
Do you know why, with all our technology, we might not be able to prevent an impact? Asteroids coming in from sunside like Chelyabinsk completely blindsiding us. Have you seen the videos of that event? Both amazing and scary at the same time--thousands of people injured when windows got blown in or out and it really was blindingly bright as it streaked across the skies. We were all looking out for an asteroid coming in from the other side at the same time and it snuck up on us. -
I take it neither Central Park not JFK got 10" in that 1/1987 event. 1/1988 I don't remember at all, did Central Park get less than JFK did? All those winters were pretty nondescript here, I guess it shows how different the climate is on eastern Long Island vs western Long Island. 89-90 is considered one of the worst winters here and the Hamptons had 2 footers lol
-
That was the one that caused the crane to fall in Manhattan that killed someone wasn't it, Chris? And it's why we had snow on the ground for the Superbowl that year. I seem to remember there was another one that February too. Parts of Long Island received 50 inches of snow that season.
-
and there were other storms after that which came close to clobbering NYC including the one in February that buried Long Island in a foot plus of snow.
-
Yes 2015-16 was amazing in this respect to have a come back like it did. That below zero low on Valentines Day was amazing too, you don't ever see a below zero low after that kind of December.
-
I had roses blooming in my backyard in 2001-02 right up to New Years. And the first crocuses bloomed in my front yard in late February. The shortest nongrowing season I have ever experienced. Can you confirm this, Chris.... what was the shortest interval between our first freeze and our last freeze, was it in 2001-02? That was an unreal "winter" even with our recent trend towards warmer winters, nothing has come close to matching it. Sort of like how even with our trend to warmer summers none has matched 2010 yet.
-
We need snowy Decembers more than we need snowy Marches Chris. Most of our snowy winters started with a snowy December.
-
the chances of next winter being a lot better are higher than March of this year being good.
-
you missed 1995-96? wow you missed our best winter by a wide margin
-
That's because most of our winters have sucked in the last few years anyway. There's very few good winters when it doesn't snow in December.
-
Our best indication on whether the winter will be snowy is if it snows in December. If it doesn't snow much in December, consider it at least 80% odds the rest of winter will suck too.
