02-03 was my second most favorite winter after 1995-96. It had everything-- the Christmas Miracle, the February 20"+ KU snowstorm and the April snowstorm too.
-
amazing to have it happen at the last possible moment and on Christmas lol. That was an out and out amazing winter, haven't had a beginning to end winter like that since (I rank it higher than 09-10, 10-11, 13-14 and 14-15 because of the 20 + inch big KU snowstorm in February a big snowstorm in April and the Christmas miracle snowstorm of course.)
-
I really liked the calls for under 1 inch for the city and points east. 0.75 was the highest near me, about what I expected.
-
we bottomed out at 29.16 now slowly rising as the winds increase.
-
Tony how many did JFK have in 1991?
-
I'd like to see what the storm track was with that and how it compares to this one. About 95% of the time these back end snows never work out -- and it's usually for geographical reasons -- NW winds on the backend downslope and dry everything out (wonderful for the spring and summer).
-
You know this is what I want too. I can tell you right now our May highs were a lot hotter between 1987-1991 lol. The TV Mets always talked about going right from winter to summer back then.
-
That was backend snow? It was so heavy I thought it was part of the main storm. There was no dry slot at all with that one.
-
it's good that humans are able to adapt. One good thing is lower heating costs. In a rather ironic twist, climate change is taking money right out of the collective pockets of fossil fuel companies, which is GREAT to see.
-
I just remember how often we get the dreaded dry slot in the winter too, backend snows never seem to work out for us, although rather ironically we did get backend snows amounting to about 4-5 inches in March 2001.
-
1987 too which I don't remember but it looks like it had a nice big upper 90s heatwave in late May. I just remember our TV Mets back in those years used to say we are going right from winter to summer and they never do that anymore. I wonder if those months like May 2018 and May 2022 racked up the 90 degree days like 1987 and 1991 did in May at least.

1991: May record seven consecutive 90°+ days-- DC May's record high temperature 99°, low 78° are both all time highs for May. Norfolk, VA hit 100° setting a new all-time record high for the month of May and Philadelphia, PA hit 97° tying their May record high set the previous day. This was the warmest May on record in Washington, D.C. The city also observed a record 11 days of 90-degree heat. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) It's Mays like this that remind me of how hot May used to be. 1991 was the year of my HS graduation and almost every May during my HS years (1987-1991) was hot. 1993 and 1995 during my college years followed in their footsteps too. I remember we used to go right from winter to summer, which was ideal.
-
yeah it reminds me of weenies who hang on to fringe model totals with snowfall too lol
-
most people don't like rain also, this track would only be rain during the winter so I doubt anyone would really care.

Records:Highs:EWR: 98 (2022)NYC: 96 (1939)LGA: 96 (1987)JFK: 94 (2022)Lows:EWR: 44 (1938)NYC: 46 (1938)LGA: 50 (2021)JFK: 48 (2023/2021) wow lots of recent extremes! 1987 was very hot, I don't even remember it but the early 90s were stacking up 1991 was one of our hottest summers, later tied by 1993 for most 90 degree days!! See, Tony, I told you it was hotter back then ;-) 1987 - Thunderstorms in New England produced wind gusts up to 90 mph at Worcester, MA, and Northboro, MA, and hail an inch and a half in diameter at Williston, VT. Unseasonably hot weather prevailed in the northeastern U.S. The afternoon high of 94 degrees at Portland, ME, was a record for the month of May. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1988 - Hot and humid weather prevailed in the eastern U.S. Thirteen cities reported record high temperatures for the date. Cape Hatteras, NC, reported their first ninety degree day in May in 115 years of records. "Dust buster" thunderstorms in northwest Texas drenched Amarillo with more than three inches of rain. (The National Weather Summary) 1991: May record seven consecutive 90°+ days-- DC May's record high temperature 99°, low 78° are both all time highs for May. Norfolk, VA hit 100° setting a new all-time record high for the month of May and Philadelphia, PA hit 97° tying their May record high set the previous day.

I'm very wary of *departures* if it doesn't come with a lot of 90 degree highs it doesn't mean much.
-
Not really a bust since the heavy rain was always going to be NW of our area. This was always going to be an under 1 inch storm for us. The sun coming out so early was a bit of a surprise, but it's awesome to have it most of the day. This is no *lull* either (I don't know why TV Mets use this stupid word, they're like robots), we're not going to be getting anything else today.
-
The sun is in and out of the clouds overall it looks like a mostly rain free weekend for us.
-
you're probably under a Flash Flood Warning. the drought was gone 2 weeks ago
-
It also depends if it's actually a hot summer with a lot of 90 degree days or merely a very warm summer with artificially inflated averages because of higher mins.
-
No one wants any more rain, it's good to see it sent somewhere else.
-
Yep it's wonderful to see :-)
-
Don't buy in to high amounts, they're just as off as they are in the winter, this was always going to be a NW rainstorm with high winds at the coast. Sunshine is much better than flooding at any rate.
-
It was never going to rain that much east of NJ. It's good to wake up to sunshine.
-
I like the winds, they blew away the clouds
