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.
-
We won't get another low of freezing or below this entire month, so that's another 1932 record we should beat.
-
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.
-
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?
-
strong el ninos are good for us because we get our biggest snowstorms in them
-
Three straight days of 50+ upcoming, let's beat that Jan 1932 record!
-
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.
-
ah I love stuff like that-- makes for some fun campfire stories! Getting some snow next week would be even more fun though!
-
The cold is coming in after Tuesday (the earliest will be Tuesday night), so look for something right after that.
-
It's fascinating similar things happen near Westhampton and Martha's Vineyard. But the Jersey Pine Barrens do have the and only Jersey Devil ;-)
-
and this with a 3rd year la nina no less, who knows how much lower it will go with a strong el nino
-
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.
-
Fun for extremes but outside of the 30" snowfall and the -1 winter didn't really happen lol.
-
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.
-
Reminds you of Dec 2015 doesn't it?
-
Chris do you have the peak for JFK in there too?
-
Before that happens the sun will expand and engulf the earth so there really will be no earth left to hurl through space.
-
It's actually exciting in a sense because it's much more unpredictable. I hope we have a few snowy winters in there too along with hot dry summers.
-
Hopefully not. January shouldn't have 31 days anyway so that's really "fake January" But I see the cold holding off until Tuesday night so actually February 1st.
-
Even if snowfall ends, the world won't end. Also, even if humanity ends, the world won't end. To be honest, the world would probably be far better off without humanity.
-
It's not that simple though. You can still see renegade snowstorms anywhere (even the deep south) while still getting below average snowfall winters everywhere...as a matter of fact some of our worst winters had snowfall in that area like 1972-73, 2001-02, etc. A snowfall track down there is actually more common than it is here in certain patterns. The 80s were MUCH worse than the 90s trust me.
-
There is no such thing as "average" the climate has and will always be a moving target.
-
We're also going to see more and more winters which have one snowfall defining the majority of the snowfall season. This usually only happened in strong el ninos, but we see it more in other enso winters too (like 2005-06). Milder with one dominant snowfall will probably comprise at least one third of our snowfall seasons going forward. It already feels like the south shore of Long Island has become like Norfolk and Virginia Beach.
