San Diego has gone 4 years without cooler-than-norm month. Last was Oct. 2013. May 2015 was exactly normal, all rest warmer #sandiegoweather

Just an exceptional era of blocking since 2000 both in the North Atlantic and Pacific sectors. The record SST warmth has also helped to provide copious moisture and energy for our winter storms which was lacking in earlier era winters.
Maximization of snowfall potential has been a running theme during the 2000's. JFK only had 40 days with below normal temperatures the last two winters with 72.3" of snow.
The other really interesting contrast that winter was with the January temperatures. NYC had the 7th warmest first half of January followed by 4th coldest 2nd half.

San Diego Miramar NAS, CA, hit 106°F today. This is the highest temp for any station / any year in the U.S. between Oct 25 and Mar 13.#cawx

It's great to hear from you again. I hope you enjoy your new home in such a gorgeous natural open space part of the country. No shortage of big temperature and weather swings out there. Should be an interesting learning experience getting acclimated to the different type of climate zone out there.

Looks like the Black Hills area will live up to its reputation for big temperature swings this week. A welcome back to the board to our friend Dakota.

5 years after Sandy and some Long Beach residents are still not back in their homes yet.

Yeah, Biloxi had 22 feet of storm surge with Katrina. The closest the Northeast has come to that was 17 feet with the the 38 hurricane in Rhode Island.
The silly #Miami heat record I’m most ready to end- over 20 months since the low has dropped below 50 at MIA. Keeps growing day-by-day toopic.twitter.com/4HBp0Xgpdo

Check out how big the margin was in Miami for the new record number of 80 degree minimums. I guess this may make some of the LGA area posters jealous.
Miami has had 70 days at or above 80 for lows. Previous record was 45 days in 2010

September finished just below 5 million sq km near the long term trend line. Or about 1 million sq km below 2006 which was the last summer with such a strong polar vortex over Arctic.
Strongest Arctic summer polar vortex since 2006
Record shattering 2016-2017 water year ends today, with the Northern Sierra 8 Station Index more than 6" higher than previous record! #cawxpic.twitter.com/uTyyJ333Tw

The last time we had a decent wet pattern here in September was way back in 2011. Pretty impressive dry streak the last several Septembers. The lack of major summer heat in places like Long Island prevented the dry conditions from getting worse than they were this summer. But NNJ did much better in the rainfall dept than Long Island this summer.
