  1. 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.
  2. You always skew too warm. MJO skews to cold. If you go over, Ill take the under. Stick around enough, and you get the biases in everyones calls
  3. 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
  4. well, that’s the debate of a lifetime and of a generation. No answers and probably no quick solutions.
  5. Bam. I think this is really important because a lot of the 30 year averages are smoothing Just how bad it has become in the last 15 years.
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. 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.
  9. and 2016 was the anomaly with the one blizzard. Ironically, the strength of that blizzard driven off warmer waters and stronger storms.
  10. 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
  11. stop this bs. this is why people are so turned off by this forum. He doesn’t owe an apology to anybody. he’s looking at charts and posting what he sees. You already writing off Winter until January 15 like you have a clue. Should I call you out if we get snow on January 3? Ridiculous
  12. if the second part of that statement confirms, the first part will confirm. Which, doesnt say much, but says it all…
  13. can we establish that the linear conclusion between MJO and the type of winter weather you expect has been disrupted by AGW? it seems that guys that are relying on MJO phases for pattern changes have been shooting blanks for the past few years.
  14. 31F. Cant wait to see reports from city this morning. UHI thrives in this warm up type of day
  15. Ninos here suck in general. The back loaded end is almost always a day late and a dollar short.
  16. I just want to point out that many of us told the forum to watch this date for snow. As I said over weekend, a patented 2 day cold shot with precip shouldnt be dismissed
  17. Come on, we are not going for a +5 month here. Even you don’t believe that.
  18. No we wont. Stop the dramatic stuff. It serves none of us well. 1. we cant get over 100 anymore because the air is so damn saturated. 2. our summer climate is now very much like Florida minus the intensity of the sun. You will run your AC from May to Oct and tell everyone you know that its great “because everything is air conditioned” just like my Floridian relatives have said for 30 years. We will adapt and for the most part be fine 29F this morning…
  19. Not to digress, where did you find this one? Its beautiful
  20. There’s nothing to get upset about with regards to weather. If you’re lucky you’re here for 80 years. You’re a blip, so am I. if it’s cold, wear a jacket, if it’s warm, wear shorts. Humanity is not willing to make the drastic changes that will be necessary to stop carbon dioxide. So they will adapt to a new warmer world.
