  1. Gaia isn't science fiction, the idea of the planet self-regulating has merit.
  2. and they already had their hottest summer ever just a couple years ago
  3. Part of the reason for that is the higher elevation in the West. Look at the wildfires in California, which now happen year-round rather than seasonally.
  4. It did? As far as I'm aware the coldest temp ever recorded in the lower 48 is still -70 at Wolf Creek Pass.
  5. I loved tracking that thing! It was like tracking a summer severe tstorm threat! Didn't we have advance warning that it was coming like a day in advance? Is there anything you would compare this event to? Not significant enough to compare it to March 2005 either, I would think?
  6. We're getting one last shot next weekend. FYI I dont mind this arctic blast, it killed off all the weeds and bugs, which made it well worth it.
  7. Don it looks like we'll get one more arctic shot heading into the weekend, and that will be the end of the cold weather for a long time? Any early thoughts on what Thanksgiving weekend might be like (temps/precip)?
  8. Didn't something like this happen last winter during the day too? I remember it- but it was later in the winter. I think we had a snow squall warning?
  9. Most of the public doesn't think of weather people as scientists and probably doesn't even take them seriously. The ones we see on TV seem to fit this profile.
  10. If that happened this would be the only winter in this decade that NYC received near normal snowfall, Don!
  11. It was treacherous driving here in SW Nassau, lots of large branches broken and lying on the roads! 6-8 inches out here, but nothing like the 14" in Freehold NJ! Being away from the sound helped us the previous year in the Octosnowstorm too.
  12. I dont think you mean November 1995 do you? That event was a nice surprise!
  13. Wow I thought we missed the chance at a record since we didn't get to 25. On Wednesday what are the chances that our high will be 32 or less and the low will be 19 or less? Would either be the earliest ever? I wonder if we'll follow the pattern of 2017-18 and last year of having a snowy February or March?
  14. I want this shot of cold to permanently rid us of allergies for this year anyway.
  15. Might get there next week. Chris, what's the earliest that NYC has had a max at or under 32 degrees?
  16. We were sandwiched with more snow both south and north of us. The April 1982 and February 1983 blizzards were the two major storms that decade, with a few moderate storms like January 1987.
  17. Looks like we're in a period where that will be difficult to do, because the timing between the Arctic shots and storms is bad- another reminder of the 80s.
  18. This is exactly what I found back in the early 90s. Cold Novembers result in winters that are either much delayed or denied (the majority of the time.)
  19. lol it would be Boxing Day x 3. Remember how hectic it was after that monumental event?
  20. Yes, our first freeze is actually happening right when it's supposed to. With all that extreme warmth in Alaska, it should be much colder than this.
  21. on TWC they had the climate debate and I listened with some alacrity while R's were talking about letting the free market handle it and letting them spurt as much CO2 as they want to into the air until it hurts them economically.
