SnoSki14 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Heavy rain with dropping temps. Winter's on the way. Stick around for January 1st, we'll probably see a repeat of today, and for February 1st as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthShoreWx Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 How about this for early winter, Dublin, Ireland is reporting a snow shower with thunder. Nice. I wish I was there. We're up to 59 here now, the high for the day. Should start to cool soon...this may be our last best chance to make 60 for December. Hopefully the last chance until at least late March, but there are a lot of naysayers concerning the caliber of the upcoming winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 After a very heavy squall that drove rain into the house around one of the window frames we are now down to 55. 59 (58.6 if you want to be overly specific) will be the high temp for today. This is one of the few days I trust my high temps...lots of wind and no sun for my sensor which is only slightly better sited than the NYC airports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radders Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 flash freezes are hard to do here considering a NW wind is a downsloping wind for the area. The cold tends to take longer to move in as opposed if the wind was out of the north. It was much easier to get a flash freeze when I was living in CNY. Had many situations where we went from rain to snow once the cold front passed, I remember going from the 50s to the 20s in less than one hour. I remember a very strong cold front that brought an arctic air mass on 19-20th December 2004 which caused a snow squall and an instance flash freeze, but over the last few years, I can't recall any cold fronts of that strength. http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~gadomski/NARR/2004/122018.png The winds were straight out of the north when the front went through, but wow, I remember it being a chilly.

We have at least a few inside track storms even in a good winter. I'd guess we touch 60 in NYC on average of at least 2-3 times over the Dec/Jan/Feb period.

snowman21 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Glad I don't live in NYC. Well I meant this area in general. Coastal New England down to the greater New York area. There's a couple storms each winter that pass off to our west, putting is in the warm sector meaning 50s to near 60. You know the storms: snow to rain followed by raging SE winds with temps rising through the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except the ones that touch 60 are usually rain to rain from the get-go here, But 60 is rare on the island...hard for us to get that with a Southeast wind in winter. Mid 50s usually in the worse cases. Case in point, the water is still relatively warm and we didn't hit 60 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right 60 is tough to get outside of and east of the city along the coast, at least once you get into Jan and Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like it was 50+ every day, though in reality it was only about half the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess we touch 60 in NYC on average of at least 2-3 times over the Dec/Jan/Feb period. I agree that NYC (and the surrounding suburbs) can and does hit 60 a few times over December, January, February, especially when we're talking about a very strong amplified inside tracker that's able to draw up that warm, humid air from the gulf and Atlantic. Another way to get up that high is to develop a sustained ridge over the east for a few days, or a very strong SE ridge that allows warm air to continuously pump up north. That's how you get 70F+ readings in January with that kind of setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 There's going to be a big difference in waking up tomorrow morning compared to today. It was already 59 at 8:00, could only be 29-30 at 8:00 tomorrow, already down to 41. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikolai Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I had to go to Ikea in Red Hook today. As soon as I got out of the subway station it started pouring, as the line decided to come through right then. I was soaked within 2 minutes, an umbrella was of no use at all.
