The temperature topped out at 33° in New York City. Temperatures will top out near or just above 30° in New York City tomorrow. It will then turn milder on Sunday. The thermometer could reach the upper 30s on Sunday. The milder weather will likely continue through Tuesday before another cold front arrives possibly with some snow flurries or a brief period of light snow. Behind the front, it will turn noticeably colder. However, the cold won't be as sharp as it was earlier this week. In addition, with little or no precipitation expected through the remainder of January, several cities could approach or set records for their driest January on record. Precipitation amounts through January 24th and January Records: Islip: 0.37" (Record: 0.51", 1970) New York City-Central Park: 0.45" (Record: 0.58", 1981) New York City-LaGuardia Airport: 0.35" (Record: 0.51", 1981) Newark: 0.34" (Record: 0.45", 1981) Philadelphia: 0.39" (Record: 0.45", 1955) Poughkeepsie: 0.12" (Record: 0.43", 1970) White Plains: 0.18" (Record: 0.44", 1955) The AO is now positive and is expected to remain predominantly positive through at least the first week of February. As a result, prospects for a 6" or above snowstorm in the New York City area will be limited. Since 1950, just 2 of 19 (11%) of storms with an AO of +2.000 or above during January 15-February 15 saw 6" or more of snow in New York City. Opportunities for a 6" or above snowstorm could persist for parts of southern New England, including Boston, through January. A sustained milder period could develop during or after the first week of February. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.1°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.6°C for the week centered around January 15. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.07°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.75°C. La Niña conditions are underway and will likely persist into the start of spring. The SOI was +9.33 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +3.411 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 100% probability that New York City will have a colder than normal January (1991-2020 normal). January will likely finish with a mean temperature near 29.5° (4.4° below normal).

It's only about snowstorms, not annual records. Very few areas kept annual or monthly snowfall records prior to 1870.

No. It's strictly the 19th century.

I created a GPT based on my research into 19th century snowstorms in the Northeastern U.S. The link is: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-6793e4c7eac08191abc2b2b3be9be56d-19th-century-snowstorm-guide

Temperatures will mainly reach the upper 20s to near 30° in New York City through Saturday. It will then turn milder on Sunday. The thermometer could reach the upper 30s on Sunday. The milder weather will likely continue through Tuesday before another cold front arrives. The AO is now positive and is expected to remain predominantly positive into at least the middle of first week of February. As a result, prospects for a 6" or above snowstorm in the New York City area will be limited. Since 1950, just 2 of 19 (11%) of storms with an AO of +2.000 or above during January 15-February 15 saw 6" or more of snow in New York City.

La Niña conditions are underway and will likely persist into the start of spring. The SOI was +10.60 yesterday. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +2.963 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 100% probability that New York City will have a colder than normal January (1991-2020 normal). January will likely finish with a mean temperature near 29.6° (4.3° below normal).

The coldest 1977-present was -26 on January 11, 1988.

-15 and -20 respectively.

This is no surprise. They will seek to exploit every opportunity or small difference to push their disinformation. The fact is, they have been proved wrong when it comes to the bigger picture of climate change and its leading cause. They have no credible alternative explanations.

January 29, 1988: -21

I hope you feel better soon.

December 24, 1989: -20

Yes. February 20, 1993 had the next colder reading (-18).

It was the coldest there since February 24, 2015 (-16).

The cold peaked this morning. Although New York City fell to 10° and Philadelphia bottomed out at 11°, temperatures outside both cities were much colder. Low temperatures included: Albany: -9° Allentown: -8° Binghamton: -5° Bridgeport: 7° Danbury: -7° Hartford: -6° Islip: 7° Montgomery: -14° Mount Pocono: -15° New Haven: 6° Newark: 8° Poughkeepsie: -10° Providence: 7° Reading: -7° Scranton: -9° Sussex: -14° Trenton: 2° Westhampton: 0° White Plains: 3° Very cold weather will prevail through tomorrow with temperatures slowly warming above freezing by Saturday and into the upper 30s by Sunday. The AO is now positive and is expected to remain predominantly positive into at least the middle of first week of February.

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 99% probability that New York City will have a colder than normal January (1991-2020 normal).

The 9.8" is listed as 2N Milton on the LSR.
