While we still warm up back to around 60° heading into the weekend, we may get a backdoor with more easterly flow and clouds on Sunday.

Looks like we will have a trough hanging close to the east coast after next weekend. Will keep the southeast ridge at bay and not allow us to really torch.

So we may finish November with average temperatures closer to the 2011 and 1999 La Ninas rather than than 2015 super El Niño.

Let’s hope we get a January 2000. We had a good 2-3 week period of winter that month

There were some similarities between the 99-00 and 11-12 La Ninas. Both featured a mild November and December. The biggest snowstorm of both winters occurred almost on the same date in late January.

Would be great to slow down the firehose.  It's definitely killed the last few winters at the coast.

We may have to wait until another strong El Niño emerges to see a dominant STJ instead. Jan 16 was one of my all time favorites.

Don't get me wrong that winter wasn't epic & something that'll be remembered for years however it does have it's moments. 

At Philly the 31 day period from 1/14 thru 2/13 was quite cold, -6.4 degree departure. Over that span 15.8" of snow officially at the airport, a tick or two more here locally NE of the city. What's interesting is the # of consecutive days with at least 1" of snow cover. At PHL snow depth records go back to 1948 and that winter had the 3rd longest stretch on record.

JAN/FEB 1961 - 28 days

FEB/MAR 2003 - 26 days

JAN/FEB 2000 - 23 days

Locally I finished that season with just over 24" close to average. Included an APR stat padder, throw in some bonus pts. for a double digit storm & yeah after the laundry list of dreadful outlooks I'd sign up for something similar.

Locally 37 / 31 split so far today, 37 is the coldest high temp since FEB 29th

1st freeze if not late tonight then certainly tomorrow morning at PHL, the airport will finish with a growing season of 260 days while my location 10 miles NE of the city is a dramatically different 173 days thanks to the solid May freeze.

5.5" as measured in Central Park but at least 0.5" was un reported because it snowed lightly after midnight until dawn...it should have been a 6" storm for the city...1999-2000 had one of the latest measurable snowfalls when the first one came on Jan. 20th...

That was the last time that the East Coast got a surprise major snowstorm when the models didn’t have any snow just a day before.
