Buds on the Forsythia bush 10 miles north of the city Go check yours

Looks like warmest January is 1932 43.2F Looking at first 15 days...we have to be making a run at it, no? I certainly cant remember such a forecast of sustained warmth even in recent warm winters

When should we start talking about Sun Angle?

Dec on paper was fine In reality it was very rainy with a lot of missed opportunities It will now be followed by an indefinite period of fall-like warmth. I don’t think anybody would be complaining about Dec if we were seeing 30s and 20s going forward. In reality, it seems like we had a marginal Dec and took a turn for the worse People keep comparing this to last winter, but last winter was cold during the dry periods and warm for precip. This looks more like an extended period of warmth.

Im driving in it now on this awful I 80 that weaves like the Interborough through the Poconos. Rain and 34F Hope nobody had Holiday Ski Plans in the Poconos.

Cold weather now gets pushed back towards 1/7.

No offense dude, you wrote off Dec in late Nov 3 weeks of cold and 3 separate snow events You really need to learn from your mistakes You cant write off Jan on Dec 27. Stop it for the integrity of the forum

Just drove from Westchester to Cleveland. Real warmth starts in western 1/3 of Penn. 64 in Youngstown, 62 in Cleveland...With the sun down on December 26 Long story short, It could be worse for us in the Northeast...

27F at 600 am Even with the warm air, continue to rack up the nights below freezing count outside the concrete jungle.

As I said yesterday the cold air keeps getting kicked further into the future meaning you are looking at model BS Next 10 days look mild...as could be said for last several days.

22F Merry Christmas all!

I love the Post. Never miss a day. Daily News too. But that paper is sadly on its way out... If people actually read the paper cover to cover and had a good handle on the news around them instead of pointing an clicking on click bait from their favorite slanted “news” site, this country and world would be a lot more informed and a lot less angry Merry Christmas!

That one week warming faster than the rest? That’s a great data point but there can’t be any scientific reason behind it beyond overall Climate Change There does seem to be something to Sept and Dec warmth though.

Why is the NY Post always warm with its forecasts? Supposedly use accuweather, but always post a graphic several degrees warmer than accuweather Anyone else notice that?

Yes, and I notice as I look at long range forecasts over last few days, the cold air keeps moving back a day with each new day. It is a dog chasing its tail scenario like last year Only certain statement: Next 10 days will be mild. Same as yesterday. And the day before

Just drove from Westchester to Queens 37F -> 46F within 10 miles. Always amazes me

Proclaiming the gospel on MJO phases 10 days from now is risky as best as we have seen over the past few winters Much to the chagrin of many posters, We are entering into a milder period this week... That really is the only certainty because any changes are more than 10 days out at this point

18F at 8am. one last very cold morning before warm up

12F

Snow Squall Warning 29F lol

You are not the first, nor the last to question these posts. The poster never responds. Enjoy your -0.5F

Yeah I’m with you on this Cold month and lots of wintry precipitation Nice taste of winter...which is more than we can say for 2010s winters in general People talk about the 2016 el nino blizzard...that was an awful, warm winter with one large snow storm...that melted almost immediately What was our Dec that year ? + 12? And when was the first freeze? 1/2? Now we are bitching about 40s on xmas?

We have been in a cold pattern since early Nov. Dont lose sight of that for one week over 40s Im also propping up evergreens on my property that a bent over from ice as I type this

Just landed at westchester airport. 400 foot elevation Plenty of ice on all surfaces including runway 31F

I want to clarify JFK -FZRA I took a plane that has sat all night at JFK at 6am By that point it was +1C and -RA There was no need to deice...no ice had accumulated on the cold plane through the night
