CPcantmeasuresnow Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 The weather extremes keep coming with the second coldest NYC April day in NYC since 1995 at 26 following a December that only fell to 34. Aprils since 1995 with below 30 lows in NYC: 2016...26 2004...29 1997...28 1995...23 November was the warmest on record, December by far the warmest on record, January and February 2-3 degrees above normal and March the 4th warmest on record. To have a couple of record lows during this record warm stretch of weather is surprising, to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 November was the warmest on record, December by far the warmest on record, January and February 2-3 degrees above normal and March the 4th warmest on record. To have a couple of record lows during this record warm stretch of weather is surprising, to say the least. The extreme nature of the blocking patterns can still produce record cold temperatures and snowstorms despite the record warm background state. That's how NYC can register the heaviest daily snowfall and a below zero reading during the second warmest winter on record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdp146 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 11 hours and counting below freezing. The last 5 of which have been in the upper 20s. A lot of damage to the early blooming bulbs. I blame Anthony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Deep winter conditions in the HV this morning. Went for a pre-dawn hike in the Shawangunks - 15F with about 6" of powder OTG. Loving every minute of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see if the models are correct in forecasting the first record low temperature for NYC in April since 1997 on 4/10. The record -EPO delivered on late season cold and snow in the Northeast the last few days. And we'll see the potential for record cold 4/10 with the big -AO drop. 4/10..NYC 28 in 1997 28 in 1985 28 in 1974 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 12 hours of freezing in the city. What dies, and what survives? Pretty much everything that is out naturally right now will survive. Like I have been saying it's the plants (annuals especially but even some perennials) that were brought from down south or out of hot houses that are screwed. I have all my installations on hold until further notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 all my perennials are fine Yeah the stuff that's up is hardy. Had we been a week or 2 further along then we would be talking damage. I could see some of the good radiating places on the island getting damage tonight as temps hit the the high teens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Assuming the guidance is reasonably accurate, I believe there's a good chance that many record lows will fall across the region. It does look like it could be close if the guidance is correct. Both the GFS MOS and Euro raw 2m get NYC to a tie with the record low of 28 degrees on 4/10.

Stormlover74 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 This cold weather is not normal. It's gotta be breaking some records. Central Park top 5 coldest April 5th but 5 degrees from the record low of 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Central Park top 5 coldest April 5th but 5 degrees from the record low of 21 It will be interesting to see how close April 1-15 temperatures average to the 50.8 December 2015 average in NYC. 50.4 is the NYC average for April 1-15. So the first half of April could actually be colder than December was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 What would really be amazing is if this April averaged close to or below the December 2015 average. It will be interesting to see how the second half of April turns out which will determine the final average after the cold start to the month. The average April temperature in NYC is 53.0 and December finished 50.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
