Last truly cold eastern winters were 13-14 and 14-15--it's been a unmitigated torch since then with the occasional cold snap or snowy pattern like 20-21
I'd say so-Long Island usually is rough with east winds-Back door usually goes down to Central Jersey and stalls...Philly was 82 yesterday while I was stuck at 55 all day-usually the island is in the same airmass
yeah usually we are all socked in together in our misery-yesterday was awful here but I could see the clearing out over the sound-it just never moved in here.
