Was at a class at Kingsbough College when I took a peak outside and it was snowing..Very strange indeed. And it was blustery and cold..Two months later one of the most famous heatwaves hit NYC, which was during a blackout.
Lol..the late 80's and 90's were warm and snowless..2 good winters in 14 years. We are going through the same thing now after the great winters of 2002-2016, weather changes..that's how you get averages with climate.Climate might be changing and warming but it doesn't mean that's it for snow and cold which I think you were implying.
Moving into a La Nina in the late Spring is going to make for an active Hurricane season. Analogs for Summer are hot. And we will see where we are next fall and the strength of the La Nina. But I do thing we are through with snow especially for coastal sections.
Nina's actually can give us our best winters.66-67,95-96,10-11..This year was easy because super nino's ALWAYS give us what we are experiencing. No shock to me this winter ended up like this. When your #! analog is 97-98 what can you say?
