  1. Thats true but mostly for NJ and away from the ocean (ironically enough), here on the south shore we don't see much convection (very much like the Florida beaches.)
  2. Walt, didn't Philly also only get a T in 1997-98?
  3. Our winters aren't that long, Met winter ends as of March 1st and it's rare to get anything significant after the equinox anyway.
  4. 2001-02 was warmer than 1997-98 here
  5. Yeah NYC has more of a midatlantic climate, NE is like another world.
  6. It's not all about warmer waters though, air circulation moves west to east so if we can get a nice downsloping westerly flow it will overpower whatever the Atlantic is doing.
  7. That image is a little blurry, I had to upload a lowres version of the original because the original was over the 1.95 mb file size limit (it's around 2.5 mb).
  8. There's that too, but I also noticed when it gets very humid I have problems breathing. But yea all this RAID and Bug Barrier can't be good either. I've been trying to really limit it since I have so many different kinds of birds that come into my garden now. Even these parrots and woodpeckers which seem to have set up residence here.
  9. Memories lol There's a plus side.... after the early 90s came 93-94 and 95-96 and after the late 90s came 02-03 and what followed in subsequent winters.
  10. I remember that but that's the first time I've ever heard of sound effect getting into Manhattan lol. The 30" from Jan 2016 was a once in a lifetime experience and completely wiped out my memory of Jan 2015, which to me was a superior winter to 13-14.
  11. what I liked last year is with much less rain there were also much less bugs. It was the first time I didn't have to spray, with all that rain I have to spray everything, all the borders around my house, my pond, garden, everything. I hate nasty mosquitoes and giant spiders and creepy centipedes, I dont want NY to become like Texas. I noticed my health was better and a lot less allergies with the drier air last summer. It actually felt like the drier and hotter summers we had growing up here.
  12. it has felt tropical all night That Jan 1932 record is going to be broken, I can literally feel it.
  13. why was he getting beaten up lol
  14. He probably hated the humidity and all the bugs.
  15. It looked like the Alps used to look in 1996 lol. It even beat PD2 although that was our previous record holder In Jan 1996 the snow drifts were so high the SUVs were getting stuck in them all over town. It all melted a week later in a flooding rainstorm and roof collapses though. That was a snowy winter with thaws in between, which is utterly fine.
  16. actually we dont need the rain and definitely dont want it. I remember the good old days when we averaged less than 40 inches of rain a year hopefully we're returning to that with drier springs and summers.
  17. hopefully it's hot and dry I'm done with rain for the entire year
  18. let me know if a tornado pops up lol
  19. actually we don't need this rain.
  20. that's where most of the snow will be, high mountains.
  21. we're going to break that 1932 record
  22. It's been around 55 all night
  23. 15"? I thought we got 10" like Central Park did lol. Jan 2016 was our one and only 30" :-) I got 30" at both my houses, two states apart, and that requires some doing, it was a straight latitude storm.
  24. This was Jan 2015? We didn't get the 3+ feet that the Euro originally predicted but I thought pretty much everyone got 8-10"?
  25. This feels like that famous song about New Years lol snow changing to rain and all that drinking lol
