With the NAO negative - the WPO Negative and MJO hanging around somewhere in Phase 8 - how do you get anywhere close to 60 ?

 

 

I was referring to this Friday and perhaps one or two days between 12/26 - 12/29

And then Fri’s rain will come with strong winds so by the end we’ll just have the dirty mall piles. Oh well. 

2010-2011 was some of the biggest snow piles my whole time in Long Beach where the old amusement park used to be.

Today was the 20th consecutive day of below normal temperatures at Central Park. Anyone know where to find out how long its been since we've had such a streak?

This is the first 20 day below normal streak for the new 1991-2020 climate normals era.  xmACIS2 reset all the prior period departures to the 1991-2020 climate normals. So we don’t have the earlier departures based on 1981-2010, 1971-2000, 1961-1990, 1951-1980..etc.
