Forget about eight days from now…beautifully warm out 55F Busted every forecast for my area. Impressive to say the least

If you are waiting for winter on 1/20, you have a shit winter. Plus, the last several years have featured 3 week shutout patterns…many of which occurred in January. Even that frigid new years week a few years ago led to 2-3 weeks of AN I think we need a really good pattern or we get nothing. It isnt as simple as winter start in later… Novembers have really been pretty good. unfortunately it’s a waste of November. December has warmed dramatically

Quoting me again huh haha The 80s were cold. 90s colder than this You knew it was winter even with little snow What we have now is a dying season

It’s stupid childish behavior. The first instance I never said 2015 didn’t count… I said that because it was so high, it skewed the decade average and a median would show a better picture of decade wide trends. Today I pointed out that we had a record week in December and this week isn’t going to be anywhere close to it despite posters yearning for a headline. Both very valid points. But you two guys pretend that you are in junior high school reading a Snaps books and throwing around emojis. I don’t get burned or feel burned when I present factual information.

Here are the High Temps for NYC from this week in 2015 61 66 66 66 68 52 59 Lets cut the sensationalist garbage already. It’s warm enough without the exaggerations needed.

sultry in Charleston this morning already 63F. Yesterday was downright cool and today its going to be hot on the east coast

Celebrate another mask mandate? Yea! Boom!

You have issues when people try to engage you with a counterpoint He makes valid points; so do you. There is a new normal. He is saying, it’s not all that many days above normal. You are looking at the historical perspective of every week being in a top 10 because we are warmer now than 120 years of records prior to this point. His counterpoint (not failed reasoning) is that running around like chicken little every year it is warm is bizarre when it is the new normal. We have another poster that keeps referencing old baselines vs the new baseline with “nowadays.” It is good to have a historical perspective, but it is also fair to point out that the baseline as changed and the temps aren’t all that unusual. In a weather based forum vs a climate based forum, it is important to at least acknowledge what he is saying

I’m not saying the whole month will be warm… I am saying that between now and the 21st it’s going to be above normal just about every day. Unless it shoots up to 80 on the solstice, Any above normal reading around that day is gonna look like the next two weeks

Hey there are skiers on here and 40’s work better than 60s

28F Too bad that little storm didnt pan out. Would have been a nice touch of winter

Wont be a warm up this year…gonna be warm right through

Snow and 34F Was up at Mt Fuji in Hillburn 32F with a coating

The 90s get over shadowed by 94 and 96. A lot of garbage in between though

Yeah everybody’s clamoring for a record… But 2015 busted all that. you’re not gonna hit any weekly or monthly record Not even going to be close. And as we get closer to the solstice, that week is in the 50s every year now. Almost normal

Wasn’t that the season where the snow kept changing to rain? If so timing for the measurement really is key

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA thats all I could summon after 8 pages

It’s funny my block is all below ground because it was built in the 80s and 90s via blasting into a steep rock. But it connects to roads and houses built in the 40s and that’s where all the power is fed from… above ground. You are only as good as your weakest point. 33F this morning

So youre saying we are lucky that our deps are so low compared to the mid section?

Exactly

Thats the thanksgiving number right? Was a nice event.

Nothing beautiful about today at JFK. Gusty chilly overcast mess 53F Wind gusting to 34 mph with mist

Agreed. Crazy year. LI Sound Ice. But we are talking about December in this conversation

There is no agenda. We consistently talk about that El Niño as some super event on this forum. I read it all the time “super nino” When you put up a chart showing a warming trend over a decade for the month of December and the entire eastern half of the country is blood red, perhaps a footnote. I know we certainly never had a Dec anywhere near that. Have we ever had any other month of the year in New York City that had a +12? If so that may be worth mentioning in the data. Doesn’t affect the data but gives a lot of context
