Man, it’s really all or nothing with you.
Just some advice, you need to check some of the emotion on these posts. Its not as bad or good as you think. It isnt a 2015 redo, and it isnt 1993.
+2-4 month with little to no snow unless we get lucky
Oh please it was a two day cold snap that was already warming up by Christmas Day. It was alarming how we can’t keep cold for more than 48 hours now even when it’s that deep.
would you call 2016 a 3 to 4 week winter?
That was one mega storm, that immediately melted. There was a cold snap in February. Those are the only two notable things that winter. There was a lot of warmth around that
Wind picked up at night. In general, if this was a snowstorm, I would have been disappointed by result. Underperformed all around. Rain snow line racing east->for mood flakes.
Backside snow never works out in NYC. DC and BWI are better positioned for this (when it rarely works) as they are further inland off coast. In NYC this is Fools Gold
i’m outside, walking the dog and typing this in flip-flops and shorts and a T-shirt. -RA can’t make this up for 12/10. We had a heavy batch of rain that lasted from 840 till 9 PM and that was it. That was the heaviest all day.
A lot of people here are jumping the gun, not only on the winter but on this month.
21 days left, and it looks slightly above average. It doesn’t look like a torch. Everything is in play when you see a bunch of 40s in the day over a 2 to 3 week period
I really think you guys dig into the nitty-gritty a little bit too much. December is just 5 to 10° warmer than it used to be. the normals kind of skew it because it’s over a 30 year period, but that’s where we are at now. i’m looking at those mid 40s Christmas week and that’s pretty normal now. plus 5-10. That isn’t even a torch anymore.
just left the ice-skating rink and for a second you’re fooled its winter. pouring rain and 55. I just thought about all those times that a heavy snowstorm would start with a burst of heavy snow.
What a change to our Decembers in my thus far short lifetime. Like October/November weather now
2016 was also a white Christmas from most of the region. If you were on Long Island or New York City, you had grass, but the rest of us had snow cover.
this is what I’ve been saying for years. People have been looking to a Nino to save us from something or reset the bar. Ninos are bad for us. And many of us believe there is no bar to reset. This is new normal. Not some switch that 2015 accidentally left on
