    you'd be a lot happier and healthier on clean energy.

    sure, because it's not just CO2, it's also methane.

    and for most of Earth's history, the climate was inhospitable for humans

    renewable fuels are not just cleaner they're also cheaper

    Yes it is when over 90% of scientists agree

    Looks like both weekend days will have record highs and a chance at 70 on Sunday with the sun coming out? Lows will be in the mid 50s lol, bug city. Remember the severe wx warning we had back in Jan 96 about two weeks after the blizzard? I think that was the last time we had dew points in the 60s in January?
  7. LibertyBell
    Just in time for the 70 and sunny skies on Sunday ;-)

    it covers up all the dirty concrete crap on the ground!

    I didn't see a flake of snow, much disappointed. The post mortem stated that the air was too dry to get the kind of widespread snow we got back in December (unless you were well south, like Philly or Baltimore?)

    This is very poignant (and for more than just climate change reasons.) https://www.cbsnews.com/news/joel-sartore-on-saving-endangered-species-and-ourselves/ The video has images of species nearing extinction.

    Paul, is there a way to come up with a list of analogs of other Januarys that went into a similar pattern?
  12. LibertyBell
    No, I dont think anyone does. But they just disagree on the timing. A lot of us think that February will be much better for winter weather than January is and will be.
  13. LibertyBell
    I think he means that if the pattern was really that good that storms wouldn't be cutting or hugging. Cutting/hugging is the effect, not the cause.

    The first half of December was pretty meh too....now once you get to the end of the month and especially February, you're talking, but that was what many of the LR forecasters said anyway, that this would be a backloaded winter.
  15. LibertyBell
    yes and useless cold in between when its dry and sunny lol
  16. LibertyBell
    cold dry to warm wet and back to cold dry?
  17. LibertyBell
    Yes but that was a pattern that was bad for the coast. It was good for areas to the far northwest of us. You need better blocking around here.
  18. LibertyBell
    let's see if we get a trough on the east coast right after that, that would be good for winter weather around here.
  19. LibertyBell
    Hey if it's going to be warm, much better if it's warm and dry and 70 as opposed to rain and 55!
  20. LibertyBell
    I see that system over the weekend is trending drier as the storm track is trending even further west and north of us. Really more like a summer pattern, not even a spring pattern. You're going to see thunderstorms all the way into Canada!

    thats why I consider 50" the minimum for "historic" I wonder if 40/40 winters will become more frequent in our new climate or will they still be relegated to the "extremely anomalous" category? 2015-16 was a 40/40 winter at JFK. It seems like a transitional phase before more warming occurs.
  22. LibertyBell
    based on Don S's snowfall tallies, looks like the average snowfall line is from Binghamton to Boston. Time will tell if that progresses southward as the season moves along.
  23. LibertyBell
    It seems to me that the current pattern could have been predicted was back in the early 2010s. We lost the -NAO blocking back then and needed historic levels of -EPO to continue the snowy pattern. It was only a matter of time before that would go away too. We needed miracle comebacks in winters like 2015-16 and winters that followed.
  24. LibertyBell
    Yep, thats why I was looking for more recent analogs where that happened, like 2015-16 and further back 2005-06.
  25. LibertyBell
    Yup, that was prevalent during the late 80s and early 90s. Note how cold our Jan avg temps were during the 80s with low snowfalls. Thats a good side effect of our increasing precip totals since 2000- it's now difficult to get a below avg temp month combined with below avg snowfall, however it can still happen if the pattern dictates cold/dry followed by warm/wet followed by cold/dry, etc. And such a pattern is very stable and difficult to dislodge.
