Jersey Andrew

I was up in northern Jersey at the time and still remember GFS bringing it back two days before Boxing Day. Let’s say 12/26/10 made up for 2/5/10 in NYC.

The one time I was rooting against snow. Scheduled to take 9am bus from Vienna up to NYC tomorrow morning to celebrate my birthday this weekend.

Is this more a Mid-Atlantic threat in your opinion or Northeast too?

Cold? Snowstorms? December 2009?

Pretty please that’s my birthday

Stunning how NYC has missed out on moderate snowfall last few years after blockbuster storms in 2010s. Down here in DC area we have fared better last few seasons. Still hoping for that January 2016 redux up and down East Coast. What do you think Don?

If I remember correctly, January 2016 was originally forecast suppressed to south hitting DC area and only within 48 hours was NYC region in bullseye. Don’t know if it was PDO but we had a ridiculous number of blockbuster storms 2009-2011 of 20 inch plus variety.

Why was ‘95-96 such a historic year? I believe it was also a weak Nina and things really got jumping early January.

Could Wednesday be wet in NYC now?

It has been stunning how dry August has been in the Northeast. I cannot ever remember DC area this refreshingly comfortable in August either!

Don, does the August 15-20 period look particularly hot, any tropical activity? Thanks.

What time frame are we looking at? Interested in August 15-20 because planning to be in AC and NYC.

Thanks Don. I knew DC humidity was worse than anything I experienced growing up here in 1980s and 1990s. August will be a refreshing start but don’t know what second half will bring.

These heat waves are brutal with these high dew points and humidity. Everyone who left Florida for Past heat waves have not been as oppressive with these high dewpoints. The Northeast has become Florida-like in the summer. You can call it anything you want but the climate has changed for the worse and our weather is miserable in July.

Do we have any idea about the dew points and humidity back then? I was 10 years old living in DC area in 1988 and remember a hot summer but nothing like the uncomfortable humidities today.
