They have a different point of view because of where they live....it's a lot more difficult to get snow here in December than it is there. Historically the coast around here rarely ever sees good snow in December. It's a matter of the local climate....this pattern was much better for them than it was for us.
-
This is most definitely still historic because we have the warmest January on record and a bunch of other warm records to go along with it.
-
we don't define seasons by snowfall though we define them by temperatures and the warmth this year has been more extreme and consistent than 97-98 2000-01 was also a much colder winter than this year's, there really is no comparison.
-
It was a true failure.... bad luck would be like December 1989....it really wasn't that cold in December either, if you go up against the longterm average it was milder than normal.
-
Things could change next week, Don? All I've been seeing is temps in the 50s lol
-
we have that problem with planes too I'm using freeware called Sequator that removes this stuff from pictures while stacking using the "best pixels" feature. It still looks ugly in the skies but at least it can easily be removed from images.

When those regulations got rolled back that rail company saved 2 billion dollars-- hopefully they lose more than that in lawsuits.

with all the toxic chemical spills going on, humanity is doing a lot of things wrong on this planet. Instead of looking for intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, we need to wonder whether it even exists on earth. You mentioned Arizona, there is yet another toxic cloud over I-10 there

I was hoping no one would win the Super Bowl.....

Chris, has NYC had 10 out of the last 35 seasons with less than 10" of snowfall like JFK has had?
-
who was more sad at the lack of snow lol
-
The Dakotas are right up there too
-
It goes with my intuition that 2017-18 was colder and snowier beforehand so the SSW just brought back the cold snowy pattern that had already happened earlier that winter. And if that's the case, the only thing the SSW will do is make it a little colder, but also drier lol
-
Thanks, 2013-14 was very similar to 1993-94 which is what I thought. Had some amazing winters in the 2010s (40"+) but none of those matched 1995-96, 2002-03 or 1960-61, which were our three historic winters.
-
I was intuitively wondering about this Chris, since we had already had a blizzard in early January 2018 a month before the SSW happened.
-
that indicates healthy active soil!
-
2001-02 was such a classic, I wonder if it will ever be beaten spring and summer was so nice and warm to hot too
-
ah I thought it was the Winter Severity Index (WSI), it would be interesting to see winters ranked that way alongside this
-
you can see the migration of the SE ridge over several years with the warmest air heading to northern NE and the change of tropical cyclone tracks over the last few years
-
at least it's dry and sunny and warm as opposed to the wet and mild we were getting in January
-
no philly is inland, in 20-30 years we're going to be more like ACY. Probably 20, not even 30
-
in new england (a completely different climate from ours) they are sheltered from it for awhile they won't see the big drop for decades.
-
inland areas even south of us will do better with snowfall than we will, especially with elevation
-
Chris can you show the top 5 at JFK too please? I'm confident 2002-03 is near the top of the list, as should 1960-61 be
