  1. 64F at night on November 30. I sure as heck hope we hit the warmest ever because this level and depth of warmth is just unprecedented.
  2. The city got rid of a lot of the native trees on the street (according to my cousin who works in the Parks Dept) Because they were susceptible to the Asian Long Horned Beetle. But let’s face it, with the warm overnights, the city (not so much surrounding area yet) is in a different climate zone then it was 30 years ago. That is a huge reason for leaves hanging on in the concrete jungle
  3. what is the accuracy of the snow total forecasts 3 weeks out? Just entertainment
  4. 62F Sun peaking. Someone has to make a run at 70F today Couldn’t ask for better weather for a pandemic Thanksgiving
  5. I always wondered why they can’t just plant a tree and leave it there all year around. It would be the most famous urban tree in the world. Although, in fairness, a lot of the Rock Center trees have been in distressed situations and needed to be removed anyway (at least they usually say that)
  6. 30F Third freeze. Not bad for mid November… And almost impossible to believe in the sea of warmth we’ve had
  7. That’s right. just like two weeks ago nobody was talking about the cold this week. Even in a warm month, you get some cold weeks things lineup and you make out. Nobody should be writing off anything beyond next week at this point
  8. Different climate now. That’s what we are looking at. None of the patterns mean anything if there’s a giant SE Ridge that will always win. We are playing three card monte with a dude on an upside down cardboard box in the 70s in Times Square. You get fooled for a little bit, But the sketchy looking guy across from you always wins.
  9. Good point. It is just happening with a much warmer regime now. For a city that was always on a rain/snow line and never locked in wall to wall cold like a midwestern city, that is the death blow The relentless big storm phenomenon was a recent addition, and now subtraction
  10. It’s not just southern Long Island. My parents are in Queens and I’m their snow shovel guy. I haven’t lifted a snow shovel for them in 2 years. Everything was either too small or melted in quick order
  11. The size and scope of that was unbelievable. Due to the colder mins and large swings, this stretch didnt even come close in numbers. But it was close in that “unnatural” feeling.
  12. I have been out of town since last week. Arrived to peak leaves in the city. Spectacular color. I am surprised no one has mentioned it between the November doom and gloom
  13. Walk away from the ledge. Save it for the third week in Feb. Until then, find whiskey and start your snow blower...just to make sure its ready for that hopefully inevitable snow storm that melts within 24 hours. Oh wait...that was last year with the better pattern
  14. Right. This fact isnt lost on me. This is the complete opposite of the last several Novembers. I wont type what I am thinking next because it would be pure speculation. 51F
  15. Glad I got the first freeze in the books. If you didn’t, it’s going to be a long time
  16. 31F. First Freeze in southern Westchester. Beautiful moon. Looking forward to waking up with daylight when we change clocks on Sunday
  17. A few years doesnt make a trend, but... Anyone else notice that the first freeze has been trending back towards early November after that horrific El Nino? I just point it out because for years it was trending in the other direction.
  18. Line cut through central Queens. If you used the LIE as a reference, somewhere just west of Queens Center. It was that specific
  19. It is really not that long ago if you take out urban core. Im 38 and I never remember snow and winter cold in October until the past decade. Sandy to the snowstorm being the most extreme. Either way, these early season events dont usually bode well for winter...but there arent a lot of data points.
  20. DZ 63F As is the new norm in the area, the warmest temperature departures have been at night. A few degrees either side of 65F around the clock.
