Pinatubo might have had a role in that winter.
-
1995-96 was superior to it for big snows, but 1993-94 was colder.
-
We had a few winters that came close to that-- 2003-04 was one and 2014-15 was another. But it's definitely something we probably shouldn't count on happening more than, say, once a decade or so. 1993-94 had amazing below zero temperatures to an extent we haven't seen since then.
-
Regardless of 1997-98 being considered the least snowiest winter of all time for us (going by DJF) or even 1972-73 if you consider the whole snow season, I'll always consider 2001-02 as the most extreme winter we've ever had (for both warmth and snowlessness.) 2001-02 was the polar opposite of 1995-96.
-
Yes the snowy composite had a mild first half of November (up to the 15th ish) and then cold in the second half. 1993-94 was a prime example of that.
-
How many times did this happen where we didn't get a large amount of snow and how much did luck factor into 2010-11? I remember MANY very cold blocky December-Januarys in the 80s when we did not have much snow (it was usually suppressed.) ALSO WE MUST REMEMBER THAT 2010-11 WAS A LA NINA AFTER AN EL NINO, THIS POINT CANNOT BE EMPHASIZED ENOUGH. THOSE TEND TO BE VERY SNOWY HERE.
-
I can't help but think that a mild November was good to set this up.
-
The timing here is a lot better than it was in 2018. Once past February it's extremely difficult for urban areas to get extreme snowfall totals.

You never know, he could be trolling too ;-)
-
He's basically saying we're in a thread the needle pattern..... so what else is new? lol
-
The 70s and 80s were much worse though, I'm glad I was too young to experience the 70s, even if 77-78 was great, it wasn't worth what happened the other 9 out of 10 years. The 80s didn't have any great years and no great snowstorms at all outside of April 1982 and February 1983.... The last few years (since 2018) have been similar to the 80s, but with more snow (more moisture available to tap into for storms.)
-
we had close to that a few times though....1996 and PD2 being the last two times it happened. Jan 2016 up to here (didn't include Boston).
-
93-94 and 95-96 definitely were great and not boring
-
Says mild but it definitely doesn't feel mild. So windy and cold tonight!
-
It's the ultimate escape route when one of them happens to be right. You can claim success!
-
For me it's a total sneeeeeeezzzzzzzzze fest. I hate rainy days.
-
and stronger ones occuring more frequently
-
Yes I love pattern recognition too. This is a very 80s type of pattern where you have alternating periods of mild/wet and cold/dry I've noticed a return to that in the last few years. Before that it was the 50s, when we had Marches that were snowier than the winter months and high tropical activity too (especially high tropical activity that made landfall.)
-
So does that mean we're in a repetitive pattern with the first half of each month mild and the second half of each month coldish?
-
It's interesting if this is the effect of climate change, that it could actually lead to more prolonged la ninas. The warmer water is in the far west Pacific not the part of the Pacific we associate with el ninos.
-
They will be saved and turkey is so YUCK, I don't even understand why anyone eats it.
-
Would the SE ridge offer some benefits though in that it will stop a suppressed pattern which often develops with a -NAO?
-
Einstein's theory of gravity also breaks down, it's not complete. It's an approximation. That's why we need quantum gravity. We actually don't even know what gravity really is. Once we do, these "singularities" (which really are errors in the math) will be resolved.

Happy Thanksgiving turkeys! *gobble gobble*

Yes-- and Lynbrook isn't even that far from the city lol. 5 miles from JFK and frosty this morning
