our record low from today is from Feb 2015....2 degrees here Feb 2015 also had the latest single degree low in my memory.....on the last day, the 28th! I wonder when the last time is we reached single digits in March?
-
April 2002 was one of my all time favorites the bluest skies I've ever seen here with temps in the 90s for 3-4 days and low humidity
-
01/02 was also enhanced by climate change that was one scary winter the warmth rolled right into spring and summer
-
hopefully not-- when you have less than 6 inches of snow on the season, the following springs and summers are generally warm to hot
-
Thursday could do it
-
AI wrote that forecast lol
-
so rather than "luck" we have the -pna to blame for the bad December outcome.
-
Sounds like very tropical air, but still it's hard to believe a 91-87 split with over half an inch of rain lol. It would be interesting to see the weather maps of that day. Do you know if they measured relative humidity back then? Perhaps the dew points can be calculated with that?
-
April 1996 and April 1997 being cases in point.
-
Thats crazy how is that even possible? What were the highest and lowest dew points that day?
-
But there are reasons that second wave wasn't normal strength.....looking at in hindsight, what we can say with accuracy is that the December outcome wasn't a surprise because the entire winter has been like that.
-
Other places that stick out into the ocean get more snow in March than NYC or western LI does, that we do know is related to UHI....the more urbanization, the harder it is for snow to stick late in the season
-
also check out March 1967 this was common in the 60s
-
Yes NYC hasn't had one, but as you said earlier, we'd be happy with a 4-6er right now lol. I think that can be done, it happened in a similar warm winter in 1997-98 pretty late in March too. Even a 6-8er is possible.
-
Might be interesting for the Poconos, I'm going to start going there again starting in March, it would be interesting if there was snowcover there when I get there.
-
This would be an interesting experiment and I'm wondering if this is what happened in the 50s to give them that high March average. The 80s too maybe, though high March snowfalls didn't stand out as much back then, maybe a couple of interesting back loaded winters that could be compared if that does happen again.
-
lol this has like a -100% chance of happening
-
aint no way DC is going to get anywhere near normal, I'd bet both houses they don't even get to 10 inches, just not possible
-
long live PD2, one of my best snowstorms ever
-
Wasn't March 1967 a month when both coasts had a big trough? The whole hemisphere was much colder back then though
-
From the maps it looks like the southward extent of snow would be from Albany to Boston.
-
You must have tuned this winter out, there is no such thing as a good overnight run lol. Santa lol? Someone needs to let you know it's all a myth Also, there are a hell of a lot of other interesting things about the weather to talk about other than snow....but then again I'd expect someone to grow out of the Santa myth before realizing that. Also, that multiquote thing is beyond annoying especially since those posts were over a 2 hour period, not one right after each other
-
Might be easier to just compare it to 2017-18 since 1955-56 was used as an analog for that season.
-
You mean because of the SSW? I thought we already had the 1956 analog in 2018 So are you basically saying with a deeper arctic cold pool we would have had a March more like 2018 also?
-
That was the first I heard the term "virga" being used. First bad bust I remember, next was the rainy bust of December 1989, then April 1997, then March 2001, then January 2008 and then February 2010 (first storm). I don't know if that can actually be considered a bust, but it was super disappointing how close we were from 20 inch snowfall totals and ended up with an inch and a half lol. In a lot of ways the two big busts of 1989 will always be tops in my mind because I expected a snow day out of one and a weekend of sledding out of the other and got neither.
