  1. Like that 2014-15 map, I've never seen a 10 to 15 feet contour over coastal sections before.
  2. Hey I thought you like hot and dry ! Not to give a counterpoint but we had much colder SST than this in 2009-10 and 2010-11 and you know how those summers turned out.
  3. Yes sorry I missed that 4.1 That 0.3 that happened twice really stands out though.
  4. I'm hoping we have much less of a seabreeze this summer and we have a return to 2010 type conditions with the strong westerlies. If we have prolonged downsloping heat then the oceans could heat up quickly. Wasn't the 2009-10 winter much colder than this one with much colder SST to begin with? So was the 2010-11 winter as a matter of fact.
  5. wow and I thought Toms River KMJX would be even more than this because they radiate so well since they're in the Pine Barrens and heat up so quickly on a SW wind.
  6. Eastern PA had them too, both Scranton and Allentown hit 70 today. Weren't their lows in the 20s Chris?
  7. Is that the highest you have ever been after being below freezing for the low? I've seen this happen a few times in November, but not in March. The dryness must be why.
  8. Thanks, it's pretty enough to be framed (not for snowfall totals but for clarity and the nice colors lol.)
  9. all I ask is that we get to see this total lunar eclipse, don't need this meaningless marine crap ruining it.
  10. it's weird that the two sets are so close, considering that we have two 0.3 in the more recent set and nothing under 8 in the older one. I think that's much more meaningful than the *average* (I don't care about averages for anything. Extremes are much more important, whether it be temperatures or snowfall or rainfall.)
  11. it's directly due to the strong westerlies because of the strong Pacific jet, that's why we're in this drought pattern and I look for it to continue through at least the summer.
  12. Even here, near the ocean we started at 36 this morning and now up to 60 already. You also get these large swings in early November. I remember being in the 30s in the morning and in the 70s in the afternoon several times!
  13. The hurricane season last year was very interesting too, very quiet for a large majority of normal peak activity time. Everything was shifted to the south.... and the same thing happened this winter.
  14. I think Toms River (KMJX) would be too, great radiational cooling because it's in the Pine Barrens and heats up very quickly on a SW or W wind.
  15. I love these kinds of days. In April the swing can be even more extreme (we can start out in the 50s and end up in the 90s).
  16. 1888: The Great Blizzard of 1888 paralyzed the east coast from the Chesapeake Bay to Maine on March 11 through the 14th. The blizzard dumped as much as 55 inches of snow in some areas, and snowdrifts of 30 to 40 feet were reported. An estimated 400 people died from this blizzard. Click HERE for more information from History.com. The epic anniversary of New York's most famous blizzard !!
  17. We might get some breaks Thursday night into Friday. Having cloudy skies is absolutely useless there is no storm coming until Sunday.
  18. The skies are the bluest I have seen in a long time. This is my favorite kind of weather.
  19. Was this one of our drier winters too? Those winters from the 60s and 80s were definitely drier.
  20. It's not arctic air or anything like that, but a side effect of being near the ocean. I looked at the forecast for the Poconos and there are no temperatures below the 50s for the next 7 days. Once you get well inland you won't see the cooling influence of the ocean.
  21. This makes me want to know The Battery's total for the March 1888 snowstorm, do we have numbers for individual snowstorms there and their list of the top 5 snowstorms there, Don?
  22. yes some of our hottest summers like 2010 have happened with a -NAO.
  23. Interesting that 1896 is on this list, March 1896 was the snowiest month and the only month in NYC with 30 inches or more of snow until February 2010 and January 2011 came along. 1896 also had that superheatwave that killed over 1,500 people in NYC in August with 10 days over 90 degrees.
  24. Love those clear blue skies! We get it for one more day tomorrow....
  25. Thanks, is this the earliest the records go back there? It would be interesting if we could find records that go further back than Central Park's.
