Excellent compilation of stats, Uncle. It's interesting that we have to go all the way back to 1980 to get an above 100 and below 0 reading during the same year in NYC.

It's been really tough to get below zero reading since the AMO moved into a positive phase back in 1995.

there were four July's in this period that didn't have a 90 degree temperature..many big snow since 1995...

At this current pace, NYC has a shot at not even reaching the teens for a low temperature this December.

How close to December 1974 and 1984 will we get for mildest monthly low?

Thanks, for giving that full list and all the stats in you first post.

You can see the incredible turnaround between December 1989 and January of 1990. The only significant snow of that winter in NYC was Thanksgiving of 1989, and that was more of a Long Island storm.
