WEATHER53

I think what we have been getting is what we will get, rainy and humid but not very hot

This pattern of  cool fronts making inroads further south than typical  continues thru  June and into July  Then we do get hotter and drier for 30 days then by early-mid August more of the same of rainy and not hot. I think JJA will have rain fall no less than +5” from seasonal norms

Nightime  mins will keep temperatures slightly plus for the summer but daytime highs will not be hot, I predict Thirty 90+ readings

Wet  Mays continuing into June mostly don’t lend to scorchers , some of our very hot summers since 2010 were already well underway by late May and early June

Tropics pretty busy with 12-15  named storms and 4 majors 

That is still a well consolidate slow moving ball way out west.

37mph gust and 0.5”

Crazy storms in Salisbury. 50 mph gusts, then lull, then house rattling and even shaking  with one where report was instant.

still firing off big ones to the south

I went with heatwave mostly to be able to include the incredible summer thunderstorms of 2010 

3 occasions of gusts to 70, 50 yr old tree destruction, NWS surveyed  the end of June one and stated wind streaks of 80/90 had occurred in the area 

For the 4th time this year the models showed 0-15" for the D.C. Area and for the  4th time they were right 

March1993 needs to be in top 5 as its effects here and from Florida to Maine were staggering 

Jan 82 is underrated. 85 gets more pub but that is because of inauguration. 77 was super long but 82 and 94 are stand alones especially with what the afternoon temps were doing

We were better off when we were together. From Maine to the carolinas there are astute participants who had a lot to offer for dc or Philadelphia

You are talking almost completely anecdotelly or just making up talking points. 

 

First off...Boston hasn't gotten "bootleg cold" during the pattern of big snowstorms...it's legit. Most of southern Canada and the eastern two thirds of the CONUS has been very cold the past 2-3 weeks.

 

 

 

 

Secondly, the "enhanced winter regime shifting north since 2009-2010" is solely a function of Atlantic blocking...it was present in 2009-2010 and not present this year. Don't forget, many blamed the blocking on AGW...so now are you going to blame the lack of blocking on AGW too? That sounds like an interesting argument.

 

The whole "AGW is always affecting our climate" argument is one of the worst red herrings in the attribution debate. The point of attribution studies is to determine the "net impact" of AGW...not that AGW is "always affecting the climate". Great, tell us how it is affecting the climate. For every storm AGW may cause to come closer or be snowier, there is a storm that it causes us to miss. So we want to know the net impact. Saying "AGW is always affecting the climate" means absolutely nothing scientifically in an attribution study.

You cannot reason with this bunch. Hot, cold, dry, wet, windy, snowy-it's ALL global warming. By 2020-2025 this will finally be vetted as one of the greatest, manipulated hoaxes of all time.

Compelling information about manipulation of temperature values.

Chicago to Boston historic snows which means that's global warming and if they were having a snow drought it would be global warming.

25" round 1, then 3" changed to crap but changed back to a raging wind blown fury with another 7"

DCA has a lot of problems including being statistically non functional.

Man. I thing you are/were a young guy so this event has to be a life re-shaper for you?

20" from that one and never, ever, never,never,never thought I was still yet to get almost twice that.

I hardly even remember PD2.  I'd suspect it's because I was working (bartender) and drunk pretty much the whole time because barely any other restaurants were open for a few days afterwards.

 

I got stuck in Wilkes-Barre, PA during '96.  We got about 20" up there, while my hometown in Jersey got 33".

 

December 18-19 was an awesome storm, but its 22" was almost dwarfed by the 27" from Feb 5-6.  I only got 8-9" from Feb 10, but the morning blizzard band was pretty sick.

 

No doubt, though, that Dec 18-19 was in my top 5 all time. Easy.

I think the 3 hour period on the 6th was the greatest combo of heavy snow and strong winds that I can remember.

After the second storm on the 10th ended I took five measurements and had an average snowdepth of almost 55 inches. 

Come into Manchester kinda in the center of town having approached from the west. Road was decent, windy, I could stop a lot.  Few places the drifts on side of road were like sculptured.  First time I stopped I thought. Wait this isn't 3' of snow, I just left that and know what it looks like.   So I measured and was careful as I could be to not measure drifts and I got a couple of 61-62" stuff but mostly 50-55".

Biggest snow event ever with 25" and not to far north 35".  I drove some roads between Weisminister and Manchester where the undrifted snow was 5' deep.

How do you personally hang in there?

There is so much widespread complete destruction that getting back to "way it used to be" seems really difficult?
