  1. Record strong Santa Ana winds out west and expansive forest fires throughout California!
  2. we had snow on the ground here in SW Nassau (1-2") too with temps near freezing in the middle of the day. But nothing like what areas just to the west got. If the storm had been slightly further to the east, would we all have been buried?
  3. Last year it was much colder by now, although we had a mild start to fall, we turned drastically colder on the 15th and thats when I turned my heat on.
  4. Yes the magic number was always the 15th when I lived in Brooklyn!
  5. Wow what are they feeding these things to make them so big?
  6. I dont know why some care if it hits 70 when there's no chance it's going to snow lol. I remember we came close to 70 during the big deluge a week or two after the Jan 1996 blizzard. Severe tstorm warnings too.
  7. 70 isn't as rare as some make it out to be, we've hit 70 a few times in January too.
  8. I thought their guidelines stated that heat needed to be 62 regardless of what the high temp was, as long as it was October.
  9. Skip 1995, I was hoping you'd say either 1994 or 1996
  10. Well have a look at the Euro LR maps, Ray, they look like they're forecasting January to be below normal snowfall. Maybe normal snowfall for some areas. February is when they're depicting well above snowfall. https://bennollweather.com/ecmwf https://www.bennollweather.com/ukmet UKMet has a better snowfall distribution.
  11. Looks like frequent rainy periods though, so not a "clean" warm up. Yesterday and today are a lot better.
  12. This is pretty warm for late October- I still haven't turned my heat on. Perfect weather actually.
  13. Thanks, just what I was looking for to account for the rapid increase in 3"+ rainfall events, all the flooding in the middle of the country that seems to be happening yearly, as well as the wildfire epidemic in the West and the decrease of extreme Arctic outbreaks directly into the East.
  14. It's generally in the same places and the city ignores the complaints coming from people who live in those areas.
  15. I remember reading about why this pattern is so stable. It has to do with oceans warming faster therefore the land areas near the oceans are more likely to be warmer than normal. High mountainous areas like the Rockies are more likely to be colder than normal.
  16. I saw FOK was below freezing again. The skies were crystal clear this morning! Makes the fall foliage look extra brilliant
  17. I wonder what the temp is in midtown or a place like Times Square?
  18. I was thinking backloaded winter too, with the "back load" being delayed compared to 2015, more like early February.
  19. I was thinking backloaded winter too, with the "back load" starting later- perhaps in the first week of February?
  20. The 2030s are when the Great Barrier Reef is predicted to be completely gone- to the massive detriment of the marine ecosystem!
  21. Wow Sept 2019 was only the second under 1" rainfall month of the 2010s? Driest was Oct 2013. Woops, I missed March 2012! Weird to see an under 1" rainfall month in springtime!
  22. This is going to be a bit OT but did you see the new research on the dinosaur extinction asteroid? The new research indicates that oceans quickly acidified killing sea life on a global scale rather quickly. I wonder if climate change induced ocean acidification could do something similar?
  23. 08-09 seems to be the least common type of winter funny those winters were a dime a dozen in the 80s.
