It will be interesting to see what happens. I think March will be closer to average too, but temps will shoot up again in April.
-
we had a lot of storms including coastals in 97-98, this winter is far more boring. also warmer than 97-98 by a fair margin
-
That's what ranks 2001-02 #1 in all respects.
-
Can we get this in the summer too? I'm hoping for that to cancel out the Gulf of Mexico toxicity and get a string of dry and hot summers
-
neutral after la nina like 2001-02 is worse than either strong el ninos can dump big snowstorms here
-
That was the fluke event, 2001-02 didn't have a fluke event, it was bad throughout including in March. Say what about January? This January trounced 1997-98 in warmth and every other January, look at the avg temp lol. 2001-02 was worse than 1997-98, I lived through both. I have zero memory of that fluke March event so it had to be meaningless and melted an hour after it fell, but still 2001-02 was worse.

Thanks Don, wow 2011-12 will be hard to match! What was NYC seasonal snowfall if we exclude October?
-
Don what do you think of this prediction.....within the next 20 years JFK will average below 15" of snow? I can see that happening easily.
-
we have had plenty of below 10" snowfall seasons here though in the last 35 years, I really think 2018 was the massive outlier. I guess you could say 1998 had a fluke event, but 2001-02 basically flatlined. JFK will average below 15 inches of seasonal snowfall probably within the next 20 years.
-
3 winters in that 41+ club, all since 2000.....and the top 4 winters since then too.
-
Thanks Don! I like total seasonal snowfall but I was looking for a warmest 4 month comparison to see how this season stacks up with 2001-02 and 1997-98
-
wow even 6-12 inches at 2000 feet is amazing, but 7 feet above 4000 feet!
-
I saw that! Snow in the Hollywood Hills!
-
First 80 of the year for DC? Perhaps Baltimore's too?
-
It's interesting that 2001-02 is the warmest winter on record by a mile and before this one no other winter was close. Do they keep records for astronomical winter too Don or at least the four months of the snow season-- DJFM?
-
is 2.0 the proverbial perfect score Don?
-
That was interesting today, but I always feel guilty when I see that kind of damage. I don't root for it and never would. I know what it feels like when a bunch of trees fell on my property during a microburst and I had to replace part of my roof.
-
Not necessarily. We live on a smaller continent where the Pacific Ocean dominates. This isn't Asia. I've actually played with 3D simulations where you can geoengineer the planet and the only way the country turns into a desert is if you create a large mountain range like the Himalayas. It's useful to consider geoengineering to stop sea level rise and to limit the death toll that severe weather outbreaks and hurricanes cause. Removing the gulf would definitely stop lethal severe weather outbreaks and some of our worst hurricanes. Of course this is all hypothetical, there is no real way to eliminate large bodies of water lol. But it's interesting to see what the planet would look like if it was changed.
-
High Rockies like Montana and Idaho have warmed much less and possibly even cooled a little.
-
Saw the coverage on the ground and via helicopter by WABC, that was downright scary! How often do we have confirmed tornadoes in January or February in our area? This one will be confirmed tomorrow.
-
It's not about a new climate, more like a repeating pattern that lasts for a few summers. You can still have very dry summers, I'm not saying this will last forever, but it can be a drought that lasts a few years (at least during the summer), especially with a west to east flow. We had this in the 80s and 90s too. I absolutely hate the Gulf of Mexico, that would be the first body of water I'd get rid of. FYI you can still have very humid summers but without much rain. I've experienced many of those here.
-
and I am telling you, that dryness is expanding east as years go on and we are going to have that here, doesn't matter what the Atlantic SST are. Last summer was not a blip, that is going to be the new pattern going forward.
-
How is it disgusting to have perfect air quality, no humidity and zero air pollution?
-
I think a few of them were in the early 90s when NYC had some of its worst winters-- consecutively
-
Sooo much better than yucky fog and rain and all the other stuff that makes me want to boil away the Atlantic Ocean lol My dream is to see an April 1982 type blizzard in the first half of April and for the second half to be like April 2002 lol-- that would be my perfect month of weather....snow to summer.....summer to snow, the ideal year lol
