Getting sick over the weekend with the unseasonable cold and wind we had made me realize I'm over the cold for at least 8 months.

We'll find out in a few years I guess, we've never had more than a three year la nina have we? Why are multiyear la ninas more common than multiyear el ninos?

when are we going to have our best chance at 70? it hit 69 here in February, it can't be that hard to get to 70 at the coast

no lol although it was adorable someone said hurricane haha

I'm actually more interested in the late 90s snow drought. So that was a three year la nina like we could have this time around, correct? Maybe we could compare snowfall totals to this 3 year period to see what kind of effect climate change has had on increasing snowfall even during down years in the 25 yrs since then?

you're not dumb you know why it's snowed more.....climate change = more moisture = more chances of snow. If you look at the years in the range you specified they were MUCH colder than the winters we have now.

we might need climate modification to end la nina from what I've been reading about the abnormal warming of the west pac This might be a permanent condition now

was that the biggest snowstorm we've ever had post March 15? Wasnt there one like that in 1958 too?

I did, tornado was pretty obvious

how about we meet in the middle and establish a new clock thats 30 min ahead of standard time year round?

the problem is it's no longer the heart of winter, winter now actually consists of two months-- January and February. If both of those months aren't snowy then winter will usually suck.

The interesting aspect of this is two fold, will it a) increase the rate of icemelt of the Greenland Ice Shelf and b) will it accelerate sea level rise even more than what's currently projected to occur by 2050 and 2100?

This is amazing. Posted just now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_winter besides direct climate modification done intentionally this may be the only other way to avoid a climate catastrophe Nuclear winter is a severe and prolonged global climatic cooling effect that is hypothesized[1][2] to occur after widespread firestorms following a large-scale nuclear war.[3] The hypothesis is based on the fact that such fires can inject soot into the stratosphere, where it can block some direct sunlight from reaching the surface of the Earth. It is speculated that the resulting cooling would lead to widespread crop failure and famine.[4][5] When developing computer models of nuclear-winter scenarios, researchers use the conventional bombing of Hamburg, and the Hiroshima firestorm in World War II as example cases where soot might have been injected into the stratosphere,[6] alongside modern observations of natural, large-area wildfire-firestorms.[3][7][8]

I want to see that combined with this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_winter besides direct climate modification done intentionally this may be the only other way to avoid a climate catastrophe Nuclear winter is a severe and prolonged global climatic cooling effect that is hypothesized[1][2] to occur after widespread firestorms following a large-scale nuclear war.[3] The hypothesis is based on the fact that such fires can inject soot into the stratosphere, where it can block some direct sunlight from reaching the surface of the Earth.

lol most of the year the weather is utterly boring, and I think the politics and sports subforums will be seeing a lot more action

how many years does this have to be continue for the SE ridge to be considered a permanent feature in our climate? at this rate, (and sooner rather than later) it looks like direct human climate modification is the only real solution to avoiding a climate catastrophe....one can argue the catastrophe has already begun but most humans haven't realized it yet.

How come no one posted the amazing opening day in 1996 when an actual game was played during a snowstorm? and the Yankees won the first of several world series that year too! why does the forecast say 35 lol, it was in the low 20s that day, amazingly enough

wow we had a big snowstorm on that day in April 2003, between 6-8 inches here. Did that storm hit there too?

I hope it hits 105 this summer, I'm going to weenie everyone who hates hot weather

this cold windy weather cant get the boot fast enough, so glad it's gone. I had and still have a miserable headache today and tonight

do what I do, plant inside and take them outside in May

get ready for allergy season? It's been here for over a week! I'm looking to start spraying to kill anything that causes my allergies this week

didn't get anything here except overcast skies. It's okay I had a bad migraine today, this cold can't leave fast enough for me.

didn't we have a big change after it was over 100 in 1977 3 days out of 4? (or was it 2 days out of 3)?

Can this happen in the summer too, Chris?
