JustinRP37 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 My son had a hockey game at daybreak this morning. Gorgeous morning. Yes it was cold but it was tranquil. Maybe I need to move to Alberta or Nunavut. This week is going to feel like a heat wave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastalplainsnowman Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 1 hour ago, ag3 said: We desperately need rain. Granted we've lost some of this snowpack to sublimation and will continue to do so, but once temps start to moderate, would the melting snowpack be equivalent of a decent rainstorm? Maybe like 0.5" based on what the liquid equivalents were of the last storm (or last two storms, depending on location) less any sublimation?

[email protected] Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I equate Central Park's low of 3 this morning to last June's high of 99. These two temperatures are about the absolute maximums temperatures that Central Park can reach in today's climate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[email protected] Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I feel that with the development of skyscrapers around Central Park over the last decade, the park is no longer capable of going down to 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWCCraig Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 3.6°F this morning, coldest of the season here was on the 31st of Jan at 3.5°F NYC hit 3°F as well, though the daily record low is -7°F set in 1934. I can only wonder what temps were like around the region at that time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Just glad it’s uphill from here on the temps. Today will still be bitterly cold but by midweek we’ll start having real snowmelt and conditions actually suitable for being outside. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do it will be transient - February averages looking to be below normal for the month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv88 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 2.4 this morning. Already up to 10 though. Looks like the -1.6 will be the coldest temp of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between transmission lines, steam lines, water and sewer lines, asphalt, concrete, steel and glass buildings makes it that much harder to get below zero as it did years ago.

WestBabylonWeather Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 2.8 on my ambient setup as the low. Now up to 11 went to a bar in Wantagh last night for a 40th birthday. Had to park far from the place. Was not fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANDA Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 1 hour ago, jbenedet said: And yet didn’t come close to the all time records. To me we've just seen the new rock bottom in temps for this part of the world. The antecedent significant cold was one ingredient. The second being that this airmass had no mitigating factors on its way to NY. The only offset was that it originated over a much warmer 70N+… Have to agree with you. Had everything you mentioned plus snow cover locally. Absolutely correct about no mitigating factors on the way into the metro. Snow cover along the route, rapid movement southward and a very favorable air mass trajectory. If NYC didn't hit zero with this not sure what it would take to get there at this point. I wasn't expecting it to hit zero but was kind of still rooting for it. Have to wonder if the Arctic front had moved through during the mid afternoon instead of around daybreak if NYC could have squeezed another 2-3 degrees out of it.

These two temperatures are about the absolute maximums temperatures that Central Park can reach in today's climate! Would agree on the 3 but a properly situated temperature sensor would make quick work of the 99 with the right synoptic situation. They need to move that sensor back to the castle if they want the readings to be more representative of temperatures in the city proper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between transmission lines, steam lines, water and sewer lines, asphalt, concrete, steel and glass buildings makes it that much harder to get below zero as it did years ago. Definitely. I can't tell if the -7°F was more due to radiational cooling or strong CAA. A weather station in Setauket on LI recorded -1°F on 2/8/1934, and -11°F the following night on 2/9. NYC hit -15°F that night (2/9) meaning it was a few degrees warmer on LI during that cold snap, at least in Setauket. Though the Setauket station was closer to the water. That suggests some serious CAA that favored NYC with more cold than LI. I don't have wind data, but I'd assume there was a northerly wind, with a wind over the LI Sound keeping the Setauket station a bit warmer. Depending on wind speed & direction, NYC can get colder than LI. In 2016 NYC hit -1°F, ISP bottomed out around 0°F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYC is far too developed to reach zero easily. Sure it could happen again if everything lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strongs Neck (i.e., "Setauket") is a windy spit substantially surrounded by water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 While the temperatures will begin to moderate in the East, the Northeast looks like it will experience a slower warm up relative to other areas. It also appears the drier pattern will continue over the next week. So mostly weaker sheared out systems in the near term with the very fast flow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
