yep, had sun filtering thru clouds all day while the shore was getting rocked & to punish us even further just 10 days later we were under a warning for 6-10" however the storm crapped out after 2-3", whole complexion of that winter would have changed if we'd hit on those 2 setups as for today, 0.04" in my bucket this morning, saw a healthy 0.41" report from Sea Girt on the CNJ coast

Serious gradient with that FEB 1989 storm, 12.3" at the AC airport in Pomona which is 8-9 miles inland from the city. The city itself recorded 19", nearby Somers Point had 18" & down the road portions of coastal Cape May County had up to 24". Most likely true blizzard conditions along the immediate coast. Another 15 miles inland from the AC airport Hammonton recorded less than an inch. Setup for that storm was very cold airmass that set records from MI down to FL. FEB 1989 is the snowiest month on record for Norfolk & Wallops Island, VA. Hard to analog much from the 80's as we're light years away from that background state. Looking back at OCT 1988 that was the 7th coldest OCT on record for the NE region

Mount Pocono 41 degrees at 10:00am with a wind chill of 33

I've seen this thrown out there on several forums regarding last years euro winter forecast, am I missing something because this forecast from last OCT looks pretty solid. Now the weeklies are a completely different story as they've blown chucks over the past 2 winters. https://www.severe-weather.eu/long-range-2/winter-2019-2020-ecmwf-forecast-october-fa/

Feb 1989 was a tremendous month for the immediate MA coastline, snowiest month on record at Norfolk & Wallops Island. Richmond also got in on the action with a top 5 Feb. The storm on the 24th that month was a true blizzard for coastal SNJ with amounts close to 2' in Cape May County.

for metro Philly you have July 15th 1995 & then there's everything else, one of those events you'll never forget a couple clips NCDC storm events database "An oppressive heat wave gripped most of Eastern Pennsylvania. It climaxed on the 15th as almost every location reported record breaking heat. The dew point temperatures, reached into the 80s across southern Pennsylvania that day, an almost unheard of phenomena. This, combing with sweltering temperatures produced an apparent temperature of 129 degrees in Philadelphia." "Record breaking high temperatures on the 15th included 104F in Lancaster, 103F in Philadelphia (The highest in 29 years.) and Williamsport, 101F in Selinsgrove, 100F in Avoca, 99F in Harrisburg and 98F in Allentown."

since May 11th 15.52" in my backyard

Over the past 62 years 2001 is the only time Philadelphia has recorded triple digits during the month of AUG Overall Philadelphia has recorded more 100 degree days during the month of June than August

The "adjusted" last call in itself is a joke but to top it off he lowered snow amounts in DE, S Jersey despite the fact he ripped "TV" Mets for lowering snow totals in DE & S. Jersey less than 6hrs. earlier. This winter season hasn't been one of DT's finer moments.

DT just issued his 1st guess 1" line - just south of DC to Georgetown, DE 4" line - just north of Baltimore to Townsend, DE to Brigantine, NJ 8" line - Gettysburg, PA to Center City Philly to Pt. Pleasant, NJ 12" - Eastern Poconos through Central CT north of NYC

on the food chain EPAWA & Steve D. would be below plant life, there's no possible way one could claim these two provide any kind of value

For the lower 48 DEC 2014 was the 2nd warmest DEC on record, records go back to 1895 Lots of similarities between this past DEC & DEC 1976 http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/national/2014/12

December cold it was wall to wall warmth, serious reality check

this is pure entertainment, I mean I almost fell off my chair: https://twitter.com/BigJoeBastardi/status/551923979913805824 then you have the other guy in Richmond ranting & raving about the 4" this morning in DC in the face of the official 1-2" forecast however when you look at his map you see 1-2" for Balt., DC, & immediate burbs can't make this stuff up

NP - Last time TTN hit 90 was 7/23, needless to say that changes this afternoon as all I needed to do was walk out the door at 5:30, like hitting a wall.... PHL is flirting with a record high minimum this morning, have to see if any of the in between hourly ops got below 76

TTN has 9 days for the year, correction is 7 for July

The greatest threat for a landfalling hurricane along the U.S. coastline will be between Eastport, ME & Brownsville, TX
