Gas all the way!

I think thats “first freeze”

I see Central Park still didn’t get below freezing. Must be that foliage

that isn’t hard and fast. Last December for instance. The Boxing Day storm was a major storm…but there have been several December snows since then. What we have lost is extended cold weather in December. If you want to look at a month that’s lost to a season I’ll give you September. But December isnt quite there yet. Ironically the warmer Decembers have been coupled with cooler Novembers.

Only in this forum could you guys be talking about warmth and tornadoes on the coldest night of the year. Just landed at JFK. With the wind it is brutal outside. Enjoy it TOGA thrust takeoffs and sporty landings this evening Up and down the East Coast

Mine too. 40-48-44 weird

Gets late early…:)

After several sub freezing nights I can finally say everything is dead and growing season is over!

I went to college in Daytona. There were a handful of times when the temperature down there was colder in the winter than it was in New York City. It usually involved the scenario you have posted here plus a cold front that cleared Florida but was hung up clearing the northeast… Which is also unusual because while Florida is to the west a cold front usually moves northwest to southeast. Think cutter scenario. Temperatures would be in the mid 40s in Florida and low 50s in NYC. These scenarios always occurred on winter nights

I see that! JFK 55F at moment! Good point on the ocean temperatures which never really cooled in October. This will come back to haunt Long Island in marginal situations in December

40F This morning in Westchester 49F In the concrete jungle (Bronx) That is why we have some city folk talking about their thriving tomatoes

I mean…its November. If I was a betting man…

Must be the overgrown foliage…

30F at 6am. Coolest night thus far…ironic that today moderates

Mainly a grass and cold surface event. kicked off a great winter!

Its true. Good indication of how much we have destroyed earth with development

34F at 8 am. I really thought we were going below freezing when I saw 38° at 8 PM but I guess not I don’t see any forecast that has central park getting below freezing anytime soon

The pattern has become clear… Transient cold shots that last 3 to 4 days; 2 to 3 days well above normal. A lot depends on timing I’m not sure what constitutes a “big” winter: 1. snow 2. cold 3. both If I was a betting man, I would go with 1 not 3…

Well when you have a September air mass in front of it… :/ In fairness it was quite cool this morning but it warmed up quite a bit before that passed through

Severe weather moving through the western edge of Westchester. Cloud to ground, strong winds no hail yet

Flew Jacksonville to NYC. Same temperature in both places this evening. Interesting given conversation above

I was on Daytona 99-03. There was a snow event one of those winters. Campus went wild between classes. First time many years that it happened

Humid 62F at 7 am. Reminds me of xmas week weather

34F this morning at 630 Light frost on some surfaces

Hang on. Still in negative territory through mid month. Second half looks very seasonal. Let’s not make Nov sound like an impending torch month. By all indications, it wont be.
