GFS is playing games with this every other model showing snow BS. I hope the Euro stays a little more consistent. The GEM is calling for something moving through Tuesday, this cold is our best window for something I'm hoping it pans out in our favor

The cold is coming in after Tuesday (the earliest will be Tuesday night), so look for something right after that.

Was just reading there are two other “pine barrens” in LI and MA, that’s very cool. Somehow I’ve lived down here for ten years and never really paid much mind or given much thought to it, but always felt it got a little ‘extra’ chilly here at night. 

Regarding the Jersey Devil, I grew up in central Monmouth and have fun memories playing in the woods with friends as a kid hunting the Jersey Devil. We’d tell each other crazy stories and go out at night and especially around Halloween. I remember one time someone deliberately threw a black garbage bag up in a tree deep in the woods to scare the crap out of us :lol:.

Ahh, good times. 

Now let’s get some damn snow, eh? Finally my local forecast app doesn’t read like November beyond the next few days…

ah I love stuff like that-- makes for some fun campfire stories!

Getting some snow next week would be even more fun though!

again... weirdest winter ever.  Basically pretty warm wire-to-wire, but the biggest snowfall in NYC history and the coldest temp in 22 years.  Sure.

And if it wasn't for their biggest snowfall in history, it would have been one of the worst winters ever for snowfall, probably top 5 with just 5.4"

Cold is from Wednesday to Friday with no freezing or below lows until February 1st.
 

I actually think those temps are somewhat underdone, we'll probably see three straight 50+ temps (this weekend and Monday.)

 

I’ll say this again… the temp on these GFS graphs are always 3 to 5° above what actually occurs. am I the only one noticing this??!!

 

I would never bet on them being the under :)

it's just... mild.  Like, you walk outside, and it doesn't feel that cold.  It's not like it's been 70+ (although we've had 6 days of 60s this month in DC).  I think you are seeing the same thing in the urban areas all up and down I-95.  There just isn't much cold air around, so at night, the UHI basically dominates.  Sure, your typical areas will get their radiational cooling.  But we're talking 20s at night - not exactly frigid.

I think the most disconcerting thing is that literally after a frontal passage, it STILL struggles to get below freezing.  WTF?

Yeah, the low of 20° so far at a more rural station like Port Jervis is the warmest on record for January. It was 3° warmer than any previous January. Same for the urbanized NYC which only fell to 28° which was also 3° warmer than any other year. A more rural White Plains at the airport only dropped to 27° which was 5° warmer than the previous warmest.

it needs to be on the level of 02-03 or 09-10, weak el ninos wont do it for us anymore

 

Right. That's one way to do it. The other way is to see some cooling of that warm pool. And that's still possible at times as well, because there's still going to be at least some variation with it. Like there is with enso. That feature has the ability to take control of global weather patterns though. Since it's intrinsically linked with enso. So I personally have some grave concerns about that feature continuing to warm in the future.

if we get too strong of Nino, doesn’t that risk a 15-16 debacle?

historically, I feel like snow and cold. strong Niños are not a good thing for New York City.

Today's records

Highs:

NYC: 66 (1916)
EWR: 62 (2002)
LGA: 60 (2002)

 

Lows:

EWR: -4 (1935)

1922 - The "Knickerbocker" storm immobilized the city of Washington D.C. The storm produced 28 inches of snow in 32 hours, and the heavy snow caused the roof of the Knickerbocker movie theatre to collapse killing 96 persons. (David Ludlum)

Yeah, several new all-time rainfall records associated with that warm pool.

And that's true also. That's because they set up too much of a gradient. Same thing with strong la ninas. It's usually too overwhelming. Where it's positioned matters too. These circulations alter the jet stream. It's all such a fine balance. That's without even adding anything else into that equation lol. And there's a lot. But this is one of our most important factors for sure. Since it happens in the Pacific.

Morning thoughts…

Clouds will increase today. It will be unseasonably mild. High temperatures will reach the upper 40s and lower 50s in most areas.  Likely high temperatures around the region include:

New York City (Central Park): 49°

Newark: 51°

Philadelphia: 52°

The mild weather will continue through Monday before it turns colder. 

Normals:

New York City: 30-Year: 39.5°; 15-Year: 39.8°

Newark: 30-Year: 40.0°; 15-Year: 40.5°

Philadelphia: 30-Year: 41.3°; 15-Year: 41.6°

Impressive number of stations averaging near or over 40° in January. This is why there are so many stations close to the warmest January on record. So numerous +10s around the area.

high end moderate to strong is good, very strong is okay, if you like big snowstorms, especially for the south shore of Long Island, which had two of its biggest storms ever in February 1983 and January 2016.

Three straight days of 50+ upcoming, let's beat that Jan 1932 record!

strong el ninos are good for us because we get our biggest snowstorms in them

They've been underdone in the short term this winter-- I see the local forecasts are now going for 3 straight 50+ days too.

Over the longer range they may be overdone though.

Yeah, the low of 20° so far at a more rural station like Port Jervis is the warmest on record for January. It was 3° warmer than any previous January. Same for the urbanized NYC which only fell to 28° which was also 3° warmer than any other year. A more rural White Plains at the airport only dropped to 27° which was 5° warmer than the previous warmest.

We won't get another low of freezing or below this entire month, so that's another 1932 record we should beat.

Since we shift normals every 30 years, I think the absolute temperature will probably either remain steady or slowly rise, but it may change relative to the current "normals"

This will have (already has) had dramatic impacts on sea life.

I think CPK beats 97/98 this year.

97/98 was saved by a late March fluke. Can't rely on that.

This place is going to be a party when we get the next 02/03, 14/15, 15/16 etc etc.....

Yeah probably next year or the year after....

Fits right in with our boom or bust new climate.
