the winter of 1981-82 was great north and west of NYC...snowstorms on consecutive days in the Poconos mid December...The Poconos had continuous snow cover from mid December to mid March..Then 13" of snow on April 6th...April 7th stayed below freezing all day in NYC...another inch at Newark a few days later...-7 two days in a row at Newark airport in January...it was an underrated year because February and March had very little snow...

FEB/Mar. 2007 had two sleet storms up here....Feb. 1970 had an ice storm up here... Snow in December is possible even during a mild fall and winter...

I don't live here but I would vote for snowmageddon 2 because how rare is a major storm falling on top of more than a foot of snow...My favorite for NYC is Feb 1961 because of big snow falling on deep snow cover...as a kid 28" of snow on the ground was like living in heaven..

Central Park hit 90 today...

nice stats...What is DCA's hottest seven day periods of all time?...

six for LGA is significantly low...same goes for JFK...

1941, 1939, 1938, 1927 were the only years with 90 in October...

the analogs on my list are...1951, 1957, 1963, 1976, 1982, 1986, 1991, 2002...the average 90+ days is 19 in KNYC for those years...1991 and 2002 had well above the average and 1991 holds the record for the most in one year...2002 is in the top ten...1951, 1982 and 1986 all had below average 90+ days...1957 was above average also...1963 and 1976 was near average...I think we could see a day close to 100 again especially in Newark...

climate data has 87 for the high in Central Park...

18 days now without any 60's...I think the other years had their streak later in the summer....

hello from Florida...NYC now has 16 straight days with a minimum of 70 or higher not counting today... consecutive days with a minimum 70 or higher... number...year... 22.....2010 22.....1980 21.....1988 18.....1995 17.....1906 17.....1979 16.....2013 and counting...

I keep my ac on 77 degrees...I have arthritis eveywhere...it's literally a pain in the neck... My wife and Son need it more than me...But when I start sweating it's none stop...

the 90 degree day streak is over for now but the 70 degree minimum streak is at four...My AC is still on...If and when it gets down into the 60's I shut it off...a 70 degree and above night is as uncomfortable as a 90+ day...or 85 with humidity...The list of days with minimums 70 degrees or higher...longest streak min 70 or higher...2005 had 60 nights 70 or above...1962 had only eight..2013 has seven so far with a streak of four... 1950..........13............5 1951..........23............7 1952..........38..........12 1953..........34..........10 1954..........18............5 1955..........45..........13 1956..........20............5 1957..........31............5 1958..........26............4 1959..........46..........10 1960..........20............5 1961..........42............9 1962............8............2 1963..........14............5 1964..........19............4 1965..........17............4 1966..........40..........11 1967..........17............5 1968..........29............6 1969..........33............6 1970..........37..........10 1971..........45............9 1972..........30..........15 1973..........37..........11 1974..........26............3 1975..........23..........12 1976..........24............4 1977..........37............9 1978..........31..........13 1979..........42..........17 1980..........52..........22 1981..........39............8 1982..........30..........12 1983..........45..........13 1984..........40..........16 1985..........34............6 1986..........31............4 1987..........32............7 1988..........42..........21 1989..........28............5 1990..........32............8 1991..........31............7 1992..........14............4 1993..........35..........10 1994..........35............9 1995..........39..........18 1996..........22............5 1997..........27............8 1998..........39..........11 1999..........45..........13 2000..........22............4 2001..........30............9 2002..........43............9 2003..........33..........15 2004..........28............6 2005..........60..........14 2006..........41..........15 2007..........35............8 2008..........35............8 2009..........18............5 2010..........54..........22 2011..........40............9 2012..........47..........10 2013..........19..........16 as of 7/8 1876..........46..........14 1906..........61..........17 1908..........54..........16

I'll start worring when the Ocean turns red...There were probably a few undetected tornados when the population was scarce...

I was thinking 60-61 also but I don't know of any tornados in 1960 or 61...on Staten Island we had a fo tornado in August of 2003 and a blizzard in February and December...Washington DC got a hurricane in 2003...

August's coldest temperature came during developing el nino years...1965, 1976, 1982, 1986 hit 50 degrees near the end of the month...1885 also got down to 50 and it looks like it was a developing el nino although brief...
