  1. That's actually not as bad as I thought it would be. I'd be happy with some sunny skies and seasonable May temps. Keep a lid on the cold, damp, stuff until autumn though haha.
  2. Personally, I'm so done with this pattern. Bring back the cool weather in the Fall and send us into the deep freezer during the winter, but give it a rest until then!
  3. The "stuck patterns" theme continues! What are the chances of summer lasting deep into September again, followed by a struggle to establish blocking during next winter?
  4. This was a great read. Thanks! I live on Roosevelt Island and figured that the unique rolling-type sound was simply the sound waves echoing off of the buildings on either side of the East River, but this explanation makes more sense. Quite a wake-up call this AM!!
  5. Yeah I think this is right. -IOD also tends to yield cooler summers and milder winters, IIRC. But someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.
  6. Still very very early in the game, but it wouldn't surprise me since "stuck patterns" seem to be the norm over the past half-decade or so....
  7. Yeah it's starting to get on my nerves a lil too, especially after that teaser of a nice day we had last Thursday. The higher spring sun makes some positive difference even on cooler days, but come on!
  8. Yeah I'm about ready to change the channel now—preferably to one that features blocking at the "right times." :-)
  9. Am I wrong in feeling like this is becoming a persistent theme since 2016 (tepid winter blocking, followed by robust spring blocking)? I realize that we’ve had some blocky periods during some recent winters but, by and large, it feels like we’ve gotten more frequent blocky periods in the spring.
  10. Nah I kinda disagree. For me, we've reached the point on the calendar where I just want sunny, warm weather (but am of course already hoping for a Nov 2022–Feb 2023 snowy tundra).
  11. It'll be back before too long. Personally, I'm all about late-season snow. But if it's not gonna happen, then I'm all for some nice Spring weather. Nothing worse than cold, dreary, BDCF-ridden Springs.
  12. I’ll add to the nostalgia of that one. I was living in SW Suffolk at the time and woke up to this. Incredible surprise!
  13. I don't think anyone on here is denying that we are in for a substantial (yes, possibly record-breaking) warmup over the next 7 days or so. But trends over the past few days undeniably seem to favor a shorter duration one and possibly a return to a colder, snowier pattern than we originally thought for at least the first half of March.
  14. That's definitely a look that could yield some serious cold for early March. Let's hope we get some more snow chances too. The lack of NATL blocking makes me wary, but we've done well even in times where it's been absent over the past decade. I'm def hopeful that the first half of March'll be fun before we close the shades!
  15. I will lose all faith in humanity if you defect to the warmanistas.
  16. This is roughly how I feel about the winter so far, although I am actually more hopeful that March gets us close to normal seasonal snowfall. The cold in January was nice, but I'm still waiting for the type of extreme cold that freezes the City waterways. Been awhile since we've seen that!
  17. Geographically, it's close. Demographically, a majority is below freezing since NYC is....
  18. Those are some incredible stats! Add it to our repertiore of extremes. Thanks for sharing.
  19. On outer-borough power lines? I think ice'd accumulate on those at 30 degrees. Roads and sidewalks in NYC are another story though.
  20. Awww everyone beats up on him, but I guess I have a soft spot for him and actually find his contrarian attitude pretty entertaining. Let's be honest: this place wouldn't be the same without him.
  21. That seems like a plausible outcome. If you are 50+ miles north or west of NYC, it's def time to pay attention. Down here in the city, a glaze can cause headaches, but 1/2" of ice can cause real problems up by you all.
  22. Yeah I mean, if you're here purely for IMBY info, then you're less likely to care. True enthusiasts actually enjoy hearing about our area's different climates and microclimates. That diversity of experience is actually a big part of what makes this hobby so fun for me!
  23. Nice post, Chris. Sign me up!
  24. I feel like we have this discussion/debate at least 7 times per year. Personally, I consider anyone who visits the subforum to be part of it, but that's just me.
