The extended nature of the Arctic outbreak during February 2015 was impressive. And the short but more intense Arctic shot in a sea of warm pattern in February 2016 was remarkable given how warm that winter was.
Another noteworthy Arctic outbreak statistic has been the lack of single digit readings in NYC during December since 1989. The December Arctic outbreaks since then have been much less intense.
2pm- D/FW Airport has recorded 90 degrees. This is the first 90 degree temperature recorded at D/FW in the month of November. #dfwwx

The seasonal forecast rankings are in. The one common denominator is that the CFS and Euro are better at forecasting the PNA and EPO than the AO and NAO. But the CFS model is actually better than the Euro with its seasonal AO and NAO forecasts. Remember, the ECMWF seasonal is a different forecast system than the EPS which gets extended to weeklies twice a week.
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
