  1. September is basically an extension of summer now.
  2. and last night and today are extremely windy, something no one predicted!
  3. a lot of people go to the beach just to sit in the sand.
  4. Maybe the extremely cold and stormy 1993-94 winter was a holdover from Pinatubo?
  5. So even other legendary cold months like January 2004 and January 1994 don't compare to what we had in February 1979?
  6. Besides 1977-78 weren't those other winters very dry?
  7. WW2 was legendary for its brutal winters (similar to WW1 in that respect). The 1940s were the last time NYC reached a temperature lower than -2 (it was -6 in February 1943).
  8. I was wondering why Pinatubo didn't give us the crazy cold that was predicted. Maybe volcanoes influence summer weather more than winter winter? 1992 did have a very cool summer.
  9. He's not a bad guy but his opinion that we would be better off without air conditioning because we would then take climate change more seriously is a dubious one at best.
  10. I would contend that the largest climate change difference between decades was between the 1940s and 1950s. The modern climate started in the 1950s, which was a much warmer decade than anything we had previously.
  11. cold water in May serves zero purpose, I wouldn't mind artificially heating the oceans to 70 degrees at the start of May. That would end the cut off problem too. Instead of 50s with rain, we'd have 70s with rain.
  12. Memorial Day weekend looks to be mostly sunny so this makes me really happy :-)
  13. I really like that the newer forecasts have a sunny Memorial Day weekend for us now, temps near 70 and sunny all three days?
  14. 50 miles? I didn't think the Bronx was even 50 miles wide!
  15. wow barely below 40
  16. Yes, the snowfall ratcheted upward starting with 1993-94 which kicked it off.
  17. He thinks the data on very hot summers of the past is fraudulent. He said 1993 wasn't that hot and the weather stations had a hot bias with any data from 1995 and prior. I lived through 1993, I knew exactly how hot it was lol.
  18. Was March 2012 heat balanced out by a cold spell somewhere else?
  19. do you have a list of lowest lows, how many lower than 35 after May 19th?
  20. the other thing you have to worry about with the wind is that it makes umbrellas lethal.
  21. 99% of the forum will be wanting to accelerate warming after this week. maybe when we get to +3c this nonsense will no longer be able to happen?
  22. warm and sunny is always better but with the sun out it will feel much warmer we can do without that nasty wind though
  23. yes this has not been a warm spring unless you go by average temperatures, which I find to be a very poor way to measure actual heat.
  24. But if -10 arctic outbreaks that lasted an entire month are few and far between wouldn't that make the -10 monthly departure at NYC in February 2015 even more historic?
  25. it always seems to be this area for some reason
