hard freeze Don? I think thats defined as 4 hours below 28 if I'm not mistaken?

Getting criticized at COP26 for this menu....get a load of this huge carbon footprint https://twitter.com/i/events/1455879070672117762 https://twitter.com/BigIssue/status/1455871535055577091

February and March in 2015 were really good though

the only worse weather I can imagine is 33 and rain

Don since NYC should see at least one sub 50 high, does that also mean we're likely to see at least one low temp in the 30s too?

no because China is the worst polluter of them all, they are opening up new coal mines. the entire G20 meeting in Rome was a big mess, they couldn't even decide on a timetable on when to shut down coal mines.

should start naming bomb cyclones like they name them over in Europe. I wonder what the European criteria for naming storms is?

November 1993.......... widespread freeze and heavy frost in the first week (down to 28 here just SE of JFK)....then we hit 80 on November 15th for the latest 80 we've ever had, and a day after the marathon where many were overcome by heat. and the winter, as they say, was historic

wow they actually got almost as cold as MPO, must have been one of those inversion layers that makes the valleys colder. Will all these locations get their first freeze this week? I'm guessing the coastal regions and the city will have to wait for around Thanksgiving to have our first freeze?

Looks like Manchin was using delay tactics and when he realized they wouldn't work anymore he decided to be honest, he was never going to vote for this, even though they cut the price in half, right down to what he wanted. You know how they say "we don't negotiate with terrorists".....we need a version of that phrase for the likes of Manchin and Sinema. This is yet another reason why democracy isn't the ideal form of govt to address crises like this.....an authoritarian regime that was pro environment could actually get things done no matter what these relics of the past have to say.

awesome....so nothing will be passed. He wants greater "clarity" after meeting with Biden and associates for an entire week?

amazing some of these great winters and the mild Novembers that preceded them: using the list of 40+ winters between 1950 and 1994..... 1960-61, 1966-67, 1977-78, 1993-94 (50+) 1957-58, 1963-64 (40+) they all had mild Novembers (6/6).....

Yesss, wasn't there also a clipper after the Jan 96 blizzard that gave DC more snow than what we got?

I remember reading somewhere that super el ninos have become more likely and connected that to climate change, not sure about the likelihood of the other enso phases.

Thanks for the list, Don! I believe this will be Mt Poconos latest first freeze on record? And Allentown didn't get below 40 in October?

with all this talk of warming climate and warming oceans, how are we still getting la ninas? They'll likely be a thing of the past in the future when our oceans are boiling year round

actually prior to 95-96, the blockbuster winters all had mild Novembers

so our first widespread freeze is going to be around Thanksgiving?

remember after April 1982 there was another storm in the forecast a week later, and we got an inch of snow instead of the 3-6 that was predicted

Manchin takes six figures from the coal cartels, therefore he wants no climate change legislation.....Sinema takes six figures from PhRMA so she doesn't want to allow medicare to negotiate drug prices. Money talks

I think the drug price problem and the fossil fuel problem run parallel. In a system like ours, there really isn't anything to stop the corporate agenda from taking over. If we banned all corporate lobbying and did not allow politicians to take money from these cartels and put a number of other safeguards in place (including the horrible SC decision that allows corporations to be treated as people- that needs to be fixed) we could have a better functioning govt and society. I'm sure you've also heard how the SC is hearing a case that could prevent the EPA from regulating coal mines? the SC is horrible, makes me lean towards ending these lifetime appointments

looks like the younger generation hates both major political parties a study was done showing that only 22% support either party with most choosing to be Independent.

Guess what, Don. Democracy is the worst form of government to fix problems like this. There needs to be a way for a president to muzzle Congress and get vital things like this done and for them to have no way to oppose it. The type of government we have is not designed for crises like these.

and net zero aint even that great, it just means we will be keeping the same amount of CO2 we have right now, still dumping fossil fuels into the atmosphere but offsetting that.
