Surprised that 2001-02 isn't at the top of your list....it was the only winter with all three winter months >40 on avg!
-
The greatest sleet storm of all time must've been that three day affair in Feb 1922 that dumped 18" lol Funny that 2007 had two of the big ones.....with sleet storms being so rare. That second one got my door stuck lol.
-
For some reason -NAO seem to be much more common in the spring than they are during the winter. I'm looking forward to hearing why.
-
whats the reason this happens now and not during winter? that seems to be quite common
-
did you get any snow from the tax day noreaster?
-
include 88-89 and 89-90 in that list. damn the 80s and early 90s sucked lol
-
it's weird that the sleet mixed in further north- with all our tech these storms still throw curveballs at us
-
couldn't open my back door! had 5 inches of sleet after we had another sleetfest on V-Day!
-
just wait until we get a zombie virus! (yes there is such a thing and -currently- it only affects ants.)
-
too bad snowfall records dont go back just a little further, Don, didn't NYC record 90" to 100" in the mid 1860s?
-
Central Park undermeasured both storms and PD2 also.
-
NYC might have been undermeasuring in both cases. JFK received 26 inches in PD2 and 22 inches if I recall correctly in Feb 83. JFK should be considered part of NYC (I believe the highest total of all three NYC locations should be taken as the official snowfall total during snowstorms.)
-
I think Feb 83 and PD 2 were closer to Jan 1996?
-
Don, how low does this winter rank on the winter severity index? I would think it was near the bottom, I can only think of 1972-73 and 2001-02 being lower.
-
if we were evolving towards a La Nina wouldn't that make the summer even hotter? But it would mean a much less impressive winter next time.... Looks like we have the coldest temp of March coming for next weekend? I see the forecasts for mid 20s lows even down at the coast!
-
Yes that would be a far better route to take! I would also like them to incorporate some of the tools we use for long range forecasting, like analogs. Many of us saw this kind of of a winter coming early on.
-
I'm thinking that we are going back into a similar pattern wrt to our next few summers also (and next year will be near the peak of the 11 yr solar cycle of very hot summers.)
-
Don why dont they remove the new core....and what was the reason for its introduction? "If it's not broke dont fix it."
-
seems to be similar to the progression in 2001-02
-
That will be refreshing! Will we see another heat spike when that High moves offshore, Chris?
-
that was 2013, we had a streak of 100 degree summers from the historic 2010 thru 2013. I feel like we're getting back into that pattern, especially since next summer (2021) will be part of the 11 year cycle of hot/dry summers
-
Not yet..... 67 so far.... I mean before today! Now it's 72 with a NW wind gusting to 32 mph..... if this was July we'd hit 100 at the coast with low humidity, my perfect weather :-) Still a far cry from the very memorable 85 on this date in March 1990.
-
If they think Opening Day will only be delayed by 2 weeks then they're just kidding themselves.
-
talk about extremes.... it hit a low of 6 in 1888 and a high of 85 in 1990 on this date.... I remember that mid March heatwave very well.
-
have you had 70 yet? I think this is warmer than what Monday was!
