Not sure, but I think one of them might be wrong...

I was speaking in general terms, just not March or April...

Unfortunately there is no northwest NYC subforum, so people north of I84 are forced to be part of the NYC metro, which is a completely different winter climate. Also, I'm not buying Urban Heat Island effect for western parts of Union, Essex, Bergen counties in NJ or the undeveloped meadowlands etc. It is the proximity to the ocean that seems to put the NYC metro area on the rain/snow line border more times than not.

Winter was unofficially over January 30, 2023. If by then the long range doesn't given any sign of a change, you can call the season off. No snow, no sustained snow cover, nothing frozen, the ground is still soft. Actually, besides the two cold outbreaks that lasted a total of 72 hours, we did not have a winter. Just a place holder between fall and spring...

Brush fires have been breaking out all over Schuylkill County in easter PA past week or so...

Love that clip!

Perhaps...but trying to promote a culture that destroys the American pioneering spirit and self-reliance is casuing the decay of civilization...

"Doctor" Bob Harris was purdy good...

I thought meteorology was physics, chemistry and mathematics? I must have taken the wrong program...
-
Just like the balloon...
-
Or spamology? If nothing else, meteorology gave me an appreciation of mathematics (and how I am not as smart as I thought I was)...

Pseudo science?

Nothing really happens to pre spring blooms. That happens many times...

I don't think I have ever witnessed a shorter duration (significant) cold snap. This will be less than 24 hours, depending on your persepective. The arctic air began ushering in this morning, and temps are supposed to start rising Saturday night. Very strange. No blocking, but still quite strange. Followed by a warm up, leaving little time for winter to return. Without any real cold air source... I'm doubting NYC sees single digits tonight, but I have been wrong more times than the Groundhog...

Nuclear winter, no joke...
-
Idiots salted, even main roads were okay. Now we have salt on the roads that can be plowed. I mean, 0.3"? I get it, the children going to school? Afraid of lawsuits from idiotic drivers? Somebody has to step up and make adult decisions...
-
I remember the "authorities" always telling commuters to take "mass transit" during snowy weather, and it never seems to fail that the trains get shut down...
-
Does a warmer winter have any effect on the insect population, like gnats and mosquitoes? Are there any general guidlines on how cold it has to be to reduce the mosquito population? Some mosquitoes were flying around my car two weeks ago in Linden NJ.

Some sleet mixed in in Garwood NJ.

Of course recent Chinese research is claiming that the earf's inner core rotation is changing, which is linked to climate changes...
-
By "cooler" in the first week of February, do you mean near normal?
-
Ha, possibly same here in Linden. I heard one or two pings on my windowsill...
-
Just starated raining in the beautiful Tremley Point area of Linden NJ. Must have been virga over us for two hours. Air was not exceptionally cold to have expected that long of a period of virga, but I guess dry is dry...
-
Yet I thought long range had a warm up for early February?
-
The only reason not to pull the plug on winter yet, is because the extended models have been pretty awful. Usually, if a bad pattern exists, and if by the last week of January there is no cold air in sight, you can cancel winter. Just have to hope the long range models continue not to have a clue (because right now it doesn't look promising). Ponds, waterways are not frozen, most don't even have a trace. This is not winter, just a holding place between fall and spring. Global warming (no matter what the cause) has spoken...
