I like the looks of a weak Niña, warm NP, and low solar activity. How is ozone and strat temps?

I mean overall your forecast was a hit, but the idea of heat returning in the 2nd half of August never really came to pass. July was an extremely hot month, nearly up there with '55 and '66. Also, you went a little heavy on 90-degree days; part may be attributable to the vegetation in Central Park.

We didn't really have "increasing heat and humidity" in August. I think the month finished +0.3F with 3 days that hit exactly 90F. That's not exactly a warm August.

No it's not It's not. I was in the garden tonight and it got dark around 7:45.

I've had almost no rain in the Bronx this August. My neighbor's squash looks crisped.

UAH only came in at +0.38C, however, but they tend to run low.

No rain at all here in the Bronx. Garden has dried out fast.

I still think it will be difficult. The ice is much higher concentration this year in the CAB/CAA, and 2012 had so much rotted ice on the Siberian side. This year, it's more just a straight line between ice/no ice.

I'm from Dobbs. I grew up on Luzern Rd and my parents still live there. Where in town is your dad?

Also looks like significant improvement north of the CAA and Greenland.

What crash? You OK?

Boxing Day, you mean? Lol.

2010-11 got the good pattern back too late...we had a very cold end of March with snowfalls on 3/21 and 3/24 in Westchester, but it was too late to get more than a few more inches. I remember there were still patches of snow on 4/1 in Dobbs Ferry, and there was some snow/sleet that mixed into a rainstorm in mid-April. That winter did not want to go. Had 3 huge storms from 12/26-1/26...there was 25-30" on the ground after that and then again after the 2/2 ice storm. I think I measured 26" in my front lawn. It was a glacier too; I still remember the moon reflecting off the snowpack as I went to visit a friend.

Thank god your health is improving. Your recovery rate seems to be impressive.
