another la nina December with blocking could be very good like 2000...or bad like 2012...
-
I'll go out on a lim here and say December will be warmer than 1989...
-
91...
-
that's what I'm afraid of...
-
July 2010 was on the dry side...2011 was closer to averege...Aug 2011 was very wet...this year is not exactly wet so 100 can be reached...
-
thunder and lighting now with rain...
-
98 last June...100 can be reached...it will be 110 in Newark though...
-
Harrison was two degrees cooler and it comes from someones back yard off of Harrison ave and Davis ave...not much greenery except for some trees...
-
1957, 1976 and 1986 became an el nino for the next winter...2001-02 and 2013-14 were weak negatives...
-
this is how it looks for the third la nina or weak negative year... NYC averages slightly above average for temperatures...slightly below average snowfall...
-
Harrison was 90 today...
-
I know Newark's obs are across from IKEA between 10 traffic lanes to the SE and runways to the NW...there is a canal which is next to the obs sight...they can't find a better area on the north side of the airport?...
-
last year and this year could be off a bit...has Newark been checked lately...
-
there has been talk that Newark is two degrees warmer than Harrison and Elizabeth...there are problems with the big three sights and JFK is for beach goers...
-
since 1870 the average June temperature in NYC is close to 71.0...since 1930 the average is 71.7...this year could end up 71.4...
-
87/64 today...79 now...
-
they took the record away and erased all the 1983 rainfall totals...years later they reinstated the data...
-
Newark NJ Feb 1994...no hourly precip for some reason...the 2.06" precip total on the 11th is suspect too... IPS-83214A3A-D583-4075-9331-CE59C7FFBAAC.pdf (noaa.gov)
-
Newark NJ's 18" storm on Feb 11, 1994 is wrong...no other sight had over 13"...the snow depth was 18" after the storm ended...there was 8 or 9 inches on the ground when it started...The real total should be 9 or 10 inches...
-
all the big storms from my youth were measured when the snow ended...the 26" in 1947 must have been over 30" if measured today...the Feb 1978 storm was 17.7" falling on a trace of leftover snowcover...the total snow depth after the storm was 18"...Jan 12-13th 1964 had 12.5" measured...the snow depth after the storm was 13"...no snow on the ground when it started...many more examples of this in the 60's and 70's...
-
I think we can all agree Central Park, Newark and LGA have issues...The NWS was at Rockerfeller Plaza...Did they measure there?...in the 1890's snow was measured in lower Manhattan...some of those totals were higher than Central Park especially the 1892-93 and 1893-94 winters...more snow fell in 1892-93 than 1995-96...some big descrepancies with snow totals from lower Manhattan and Central Park...
-
someone with a shield and temperature probe should stand in the middle of the great lawn during the hottest part of a Sunny day and then compare readings....Newark is getting warmer and development to its west doesn't help cooling things off...Prosect Park in Brooklyn is probably cooler than surrounding built up areas...many years ago there was obs taken from that park but I have never seen them...
-
the area from Newark southwestward to Piscataway is the hottest part of the near New jersey area...add parts of Staten island to that...both down hill from hilly areas...
-
regular ranking was fine...no need to event the wheel again...
-
its really the 18th mildest with 17 years ahead of it...
