There was when we had that big blizzard here JFK only had a high in the upper 20s and lows in the teens.

there is a real necessity to get nations like China and India onboard, China going back to coal is a real detriment not only because of the vast number of people that live there, but also because it also affects that entire region. They have a goal of net zero by 2060 I believe, but in the mean time they have been opening up more coal plants. Nuclear would be a really good option here, but in the current political climate, people seem to be even more wary of nuclear.

and here is the snow in May https://www.silive.com/weather/2020/05/snow-in-may-brief-snowfall-in-central-park-for-the-first-time-since-1977.html May 9, 2020

lol I had to reread it and see that it's in CT. Why do other states steal our names and use them? First it was Albany and now it's East Hampton wth? https://secretnyc.co/nyc-metro-theater-reopen/ Also, I dont remember this but apparently it snowed in NYC on April 23rd, 2020? It says that's the latest it has snowed in April but neglects to inform that it actually snowed in May in 2019 lol.

wow the April cold outbreak in 1995 lasted for 3 days? I remember the 2 day outbreak in 2016 too, that was when we had a snow event occurring to our east. The 1982 outbreak outclasses everything else though. Here is a history of significant April snow events written after the April 2018 snowstorm (were there no cold temp records set with that one?) It also mentions the 5 times it snowed in May (not the May 2019 snow since this article was written before that occurred.) https://www.amny.com/news/april-snow-in-nyc-7-biggest-storms-1-10181411/

wow is the record low max of 30 in 1982 the latest it's ever been below freezing the whole day at JFK?

Maybe we'll have snow squalls in May again like we had a few years ago.

Big snow squall in the Poconos! Sky is pitch black-- my sister is there and telling me all about it! Blinding snow squall!

Colder than April 1982 or April 1995?

Chris, any prediction on when our last freeze might be for NYC/JFK/EWR? Early April? Any snow chances then too?

huh it's been sunny here since 9 am not a cloud in the sky

weird, a 5 degree difference between EWR and NYC for the low? I wonder why? Don, did JFK get into the teens? Also how did EWR get 12.8" and NYC only got 9.6"? The other airports were even lower (8")-- and I thought ISP had more snow (more snow further to the east)?

teens in April in 1982 wow did NYC get into the teens too? I dont see why not, since Newark got down to 16 and 17. 23 on 4/5/1995 is pretty cold too, I remember that dry cold shot well.

its good to see that the number of snowy winters is much higher than the number of cold ones. if you go by snowy winters (30"+ seasonal snowfall, you get 7 snowy vs 6 nonsnowy.)

does it even matter what kind of el nino it is? would even a weak one create a new baseline?

it's not putting a dent in global temps, which are still going up.

we've also had some incredibly cold weather during la ninas- winters of 1915-16 and 2010-11 come to mind, but they usually come after el ninos.

what was the August we had the big regional blackout? was that 2003 or 2004? Hottest day of the year-- the high was 95 or 96.

you can have snow in early April and still a warm April thereafter.

2018 would be awesome-- snow in April is always memorable!

Cooling around Greenland waters is because of ice melt right-- and the la nina standing wave in the Pacific is because of rapid warming of the West Pac heating up?

Economic pressure will stop fossil fuel consumption as renewable are about at equal cost now and will get cheaper while fossil fuels will only get more expensive.

wtf thats DOME C?! Thats the same place where it gets so cold that excrement freezes before it leaves the body?!

It just happened, accompanied with lightning and thunder

Same-- for some reason these seem to always happen in the middle of the night this early in the season.
