No struggles in Adorindacks right now, but they had a rough first half of January. Catskills have been messy all season

It’s funny… airlines on the verge of going out of business, always have the best on-time rate. Believe me, if it falls, they will measure

There is going to be a 30 degree swing for my drive home today

this endless warmth is nothing like the 80s.

Of course we broke the record for warmest January! It is simple math and was obvious for a while now. like a suspenseful drum roll over last week! It is already 44F in CPK. Next record will be the 0.0. That will happen too!

Doesn’t matter what you’re rooting for. It’s a deep and powerful transient cold shot…like xmas day. It will likely be the last one of the year and it looks like we rebound right to Pacific air right afterwards. As for not verifying… At this point, it’s three days out.

if we get too strong of Nino, doesn’t that risk a 15-16 debacle? historically, I feel like snow and cold. strong Niños are not a good thing for New York City.

Rain and 55 on Mem Day…

I’ll say this again… the temp on these GFS graphs are always 3 to 5° above what actually occurs. am I the only one noticing this??!! I would never bet on them being the under

Lots of snow up in Lake Placid if anyone is looking for some. 1- 2 feet or so on ground

Why should winter be different than any other season? When was the last time we had a BN summer? Some of you guys make me laugh… you expect something to magically happen 3 months a year that doesnt happen in the other 9 months. NYC was always marginal for prolonged cold and snow. Now its rapidly warming. Several of us were pointing out for years that 60 inch Islip winters were not a new normal but a finale before the show ended. There have been many rainstorms since Nov. If we had even a drop of cold air, we would have measured snow. None. zero. zilch. Show’s over Folks. The future arrived. Get used to it. 40F and sun. +3 to normal high at 10 am…AGAIN

incredible but easily foreseeable from last week onward

That’s right everything else has moved north so we actually do need something like this at this time…southern track that gradually moves north as we get closer

we have a house on the beach in Wading River. I grew up out there. You never comfortably swam before the Fourth of July and if you attempted to swim on memorial day, your froze. Now you comfortably swim in June and they have a lifeguard there from Memorial Day on. The summer time water temp change has been astounding over 35 years. That is why you saw such a large die off.

The bust on this week temp wise is really quite amazing. we keep talking about snow busts… but I don’t remember one model showing 5- 10° above normal and that’s basically what we’re going to be this whole week give or take. Unbelievably relentless warmth.

Southern Westchester…

Snow and 38F in Westchester. What a sad winter of weather…

that alarming aspect started about five years ago. We no longer just have a few very warm days. It’s a constant +3+5+6+2. And thats how we get a warm month. Endless warmth. That, more than anything, really speaks to a warmer climate. You’re comparing a new reality with normal temperatures from 20 or 30 years ago.

I called that in the second week of January. Won’t even be close we’re gonna sail right past it. Well guys are fighting about a flake of snow today I’m outside in shorts and a long sleeve tee raking leaves. And that says it all.

I hope so, but it looks real warm man On another note central park already 37° this morning

The average will plummet in the era of warming. That is what you see now. You will wish you had the 80s again in 20 years. You will have Virginia. And not mountainous VA

yes, it does. whenever there’s a transition to a warmer pattern that night prior and the nights of the pattern experience particularly high UHI effects. I posted about this in December and somebody responded with a pretty thorough analysis of it having to do with the wind vs radiational cooling. There’s a bit more there though. The overnight temperatures have been rising due to increased moisture in air (humidity). This is particularly noticeable in the summer, but goes on throughout the year. However, the UHI seems to be particularly affected by this phenomenon.

It is colder in Richmond this morning than NYC. Says it all

New here? he loves popping peoples winter balloons. Like a grinch for snow People were actually looking for him this winter as he would thrive in the misery of the board….and then he showed up haha

Boston Currently…
