because they have a sea breeze right now lol. iad set a monthly record of 76

LOL, a sea breeze that has them 1 degree lower than Dulles, nice try

Temp data at Dulles only goes back to 1962, the 79 degree JAN records at DC & Baltimore were set in 1950. 

Dover, DE dropped 10 degrees (69-59) between 11:00-12:00, wind turned around from the north

74 at DCA currently 

& that's still 5 degrees off the daily record, the second warmest JAN high temp is 75 degrees

Completely agree. We scored a moderate event in February 2018 in a sea of 50 to 70 degree warmth all month. If we can get a moderate event then, why not now.

nice night time paste job, right around 3" locally

Genuine question here (bc I'm too tired and lazy to look up the stats).  How many below average months has Philly and NYC had respectively in the last 5 years?   

slapped it together at lunch so may not be perfect, also tabled back to 2010 for comparison

* for entertainment purposes only* don't want the hard core data people getting traumatized by a simple mean & total table

PHL did run warm for a little over a year during the recent 5 yr trend however that looks to have been rectified now.

Well if nothing else we can at least enjoy May & November.

Hard to do here with Eastern Canada snow covered and sneaky highs dropping backdoor cold fronts down...

April & May are the predominant BDCF months & with that being said like many historical climo trends those features today are much less pronounced than they were back in the day. Actually it hasn't been hard at all to get warm middle to late springs around here since 2010. Looking at Bridgeport over those 14 yrs. APR has averaged below normal 3 times, for May it's once in 14 yrs.

Even the colder MAR run we saw during the middle of the last decade is a thing of the past we've had 4 consecutive Mar's average solidly above normal.

Good question. We are staring down the barrel of our eighth consecutive warmer than average month. Even these inflated normals can't keep up with 2024. No notable cold to speak of. In fact, the minimum temperature this month has been quite mild.

LOL, June, AUG & NOV were below average & SEPT was whopping 0.2 degrees warmer than normal.

There's absolutely no sense of objectivity from some of the warm mongers on this site.

4" just north of Philly, 7.3" for the season

I remember when people thought March 2010 was gonna rock after a relaxation period and instead we torched and got slammed with rain 

2010 torch started in March & continued right thru Sept, monthly warm rankings at Phila during that stretch:

MAR - 10th

APR - 5th

MAY - 10th

JUN - 1st

JUL - 6th

AUG - 11th

SEP - 7th

DEC will go down as a very noteworthy month at Philadelphia in terms of warmth & precip. Currently sitting tied with 2012 for the 8th warmest DEC on record, not out of the question given today's big + departure & the outlook for the remainder of the month that we move up to 6th warmest. Regarding precip this will go into the books as the 3rd wettest DEC on record.

Additionally the current monthly low at PHL is 29 degrees, this is tied with 2012 for the 2nd warmest DEC min temp on record only behind the 30 degrees in 2015. Lastly this year is only the 8th time on record in which the NOV min temp (25 degrees) will be lower than the DEC min temp, interesting that 5 of those 8 instances have occurred since 2012. Philadelphia precip records go back to 1872, for temp records it's 1874.

pattern is changing, we're going from very warm to just warm

It then turned noticeably warmer toward mid-month with the temperature peaking at 64° on January 14th in NYC. Boston had two 66° highs. Philadelphia and Washington, DC reached 70°.

Very noteworthy mid Jan warm shot JAN 12-20, 1995, PHL averaged +18 over the 9 days vs. the current averages. Would have been over a +20 torch against the normal at that time.

Final NOV stats for the Mt. Holly FO climo sites, ideal radiating conditions for the majority of the month setup a healthy contrast between PHL & the surrounding sites. It took late month CAA days for the highly urbanized city locations to drop into the 20's. Meanwhile it was parade of 20's for the immediate suburbs & beyond.

25 degrees this morning at PHL, the average date over the entire Philadelphia POR (1874) for the 1st 25 degree day of the season is 11/29 

Since 2000 that average date is 12/7.

38 (37.6) degrees for the high today, temps have been dropping for the past hour & a half, down to 33 degrees currently. Not seeing any issues with the "modeled temps" locally as that's spot on with the forecasted high.

Ground whitening snow squall this morning at home just north of Philly, temp dropped form 34 down to 30 degrees. Locations in the counties to my west reporting 0.3".

One of those rare events in which the MA is all snow & Boston changes to rain. Locally just north of Philly 12" with that storm & 18" with the subsequent late FEB event. Both events were big dumps within relatively short timeframes and the JAN event was accompanied by thunder. 

Over 3" of snow all the down to ATL.

yeah there are a bunch here still-I figured 2 nights of subfreezing would kill them off but not the ones with the nest under our vinyl siding

Last year we had yellow jackets make a nest under the siding just above ground level. I left them alone until they found their way into the basement & stung my wife & one of the grandkids. 

I used the product in the video, mixed based on the ratio indicated & it took out about close to half the nest based on the reduced activity. For the 2nd application I bumped up the Duo from 5ml to 10 ml & that finished them off. Relatively inexpensive solution as opposed to calling an exterminator.

It was cold here but the winter was FAR more severe in the Lakes/Midwest/upper plains.

Top 10 warmest September at ISP and EWR. The 91-20 climate normals have warmed so much, that it only takes a +1.7 at ISP for the 7th warmest September temperature.

LOL, That's because Islip only has a 61 yr period of record. 94 years shorter than Central Park. 

Rinse, wash, repeat.....next thing you know you'll be posting temp obs for a helicopter pad.

Central Park 3.83" the past 3 hrs., 5.22 storm total

@BucksCO_PA

take a look at the current area temps. All local sites are 90 or above, even on LI. 
 

Central Park is 87, by far the coolest. 
 

do you think that A. The city is a naturally much colder area than the suburbs, or B the sensor is reading too low?

average high temp this month at Central Park - 86.2 degrees, average high this month at LGA - 86.2 degrees

Just now, forkyfork said:

all the downplaying when i posted ensemble images and now newark could get its latest 100 ever. why should anyone take this place seriously?

kinda like you calling for 7" of rain a few wks ago

Central Park is 93 at 2:00

The tree canopy nonsense continues to be unfounded hysteria.
