Thats Newark though, the area hot spot. I noticed those of us to the east of there haven't seen any 80 degree temps in winter (the latest was 80 on November 15, 1993 if I remember correctly.) I'm always suspect of Newark temps because they are even warmer than Philly; Newark should be classified in a different climate type than the one we're in.

Yes, the quantity near the high end is itself reaching record levels, but if we're talking about the highest temps we achieve each winter, that's pretty stable, no? So you could have let's say 8-9 60 degree highs now vs maybe 4-5 decades ago? But the top end high temps are around the same? Maybe there's a ceiling for the extreme temps and they very rarely get beyond a certain number-- for the winter I'd estimate that to be 70. We very rarely get temps AOB 70 and that hasn't changed since record keeping started. It would be interesting to bracket the frequency of high end temps....so let's say how many 60+ highs vs an earlier period, how many 65+ highs vs back then, how many 68+ (20C+) highs vs back then, 70+ etc. The higher up you go, the less the differences I would imagine, as we get closer to the ceiling. We're getting closer to a Denver type climate, I just wish the humidity would get as low as it is there. I love warm days and cool nights...we have some of that in Fall (November), but in Denver that's a common pattern.

If you want to combat the weeniesm I think the best way to do it is to go through all his posts and weenie all of them and then go to through the posts of everyone he's weenied and favorite all of those lol. It's a lot of work but I've done that before lol. Or at least the ones I've seen.

The Arctic is exactly where we need the most climate engineering. Fix the Arctic and that will fix everything else as far as that is concerned. How much liquid nitrogen do we need to dump there eh? ;-)

Statistically speaking almost every damn winter has at least one day above 60 degrees. People look at normal temperatures way too much. Mark Twain had a thing or two to say about numbers..... Heh how many remember that it was in the 60s in February 1994 for a few days after those back to back big snowstorms? 60s is no big deal in the winter.

Probably because radiational cooling is usually at its best just before a warmup begins (because center of High pressure is close by). And radiational cooling is when the heat island effect rears its ugly head. I am SO glad the city has a plan to go green, all that ugly concrete needs to be completely torn out of the ground-- but I'd settle for 30% of it being removed by 2030 which is what the plans are to greenify the city and create urban gardens for much more healthy eating of fresh unprocessed food.

Why is December is warming so much faster than the other months?

That April 1915 storm was the same one that dumped close to 20" in Philly wasn't it? And NYC got close to 6" in the April 2018 snowstorm too?

Hey he's fun when you can come up with random funny movie references to describe him. American Psycho was one of my favorite movies of all time.

he's a square peg in a round world, he just doesn't fit in anywhere lol "it's not hip to be square" (a twist on the famous song from American Psycho and Huey Lewis and the News lol.) So this explains what Snowman19 does when it's snowing around here, he's not on the forum because he's out on the town letting out his frustrations on the world lol.

why doesn't someone protest the totals for Jan 1996? Withhold funding until they bring the totals in line with the rest of the region.

Might be as soon as the end of the year then

One of my favorite Marches. It was much colder back then though

I think it was in Feb 1993 if I remember correctly

You got weenie'ed for some odd reason for reporting your temps.....thats a new one! lol

early twenties were highly underrated 1920 then 1921 and then 1922 with the Knickerbocker storm.

Thats awesome March, hopefully we can all get at least another 6-10. My tally was 4" in this storm and 25" so far for the season very close to normal.

What time did it finally stop snowing by you Ed?

How much did PVD have? I heard close to a foot in parts of Rhode Island? 8" in Boston?

I want to know what nuclear snow looks like!

capped off with March 1914.... that was a triple phaser wasn't it? February 1921 is right up there too with 18" of snow over 3 days and 5" LE lol.

JFK didn't get lower than 0 in 1994 did they? And the last time they were below zero was -2 in 1985 (when LGA reached -3)? The UHI and traffic and air pollution must've been much less in 1985 than it is now.

Why is it so hard for NYC to get that low? Way too much UHI and traffic and air pollution artificially heating up the big cities.

This certainly was a winter experience. Looks like we'll get one more day of this.

Was this the real GOAT? https://twitter.com/i/events/1492905376127361028
