tmagan Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I know of one day in February 1969 with a 35/34 temp range...I'm not sure if there was a day with the same max/min?...Probably not... I'm looking over the METAR's for February 23, 1969 and I see that the highest temperature that I could find was two degrees Celsius and the lowest temperature I could find was one degree Celsius.

pazzo83 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Central Park had a minimum of 47 this morning...If it stands it will be the third warmest New years eve minimum on record... Also, it looks like this month's avg high for the park will be 50F, which only has occurred one other time in the past 10 years (2006). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct - a very much underrated storm. I was working at AT&T on Fulton St in lower Manhattan as a mail room messenger and had to make several deliveries in the middle of the storm. The wind was very strong in lower Manhattan reminiscent of the Boxing day storm. During my third delivery I was struggling against the wind, holding on to whatever I could find to keep from falling down, when a gust of wind knocked down someone walking along side of me. I had to help him to his feet . When I got back to the office I was told to make a fourth trip. For the only time in my life I refused a direct order even though I could have been fired. My boss looked out at the storm and said forget about it. A very underrated storm. Vic V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Humidity Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Jan 14 2006 featured a 65 degree day in the early afternoon followed by 40 degree drop and flash freeze with 4" snow and the birth of my twin boys. Watched it happen from hospital window and even snuck outside for a few peeks. What a day it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmagan Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 When you see an average January temperature of 43.2 degrees Fahrenheit for Central Park in 1932, you have to wonder what were the dailies during that month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEG NAO Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 we might consider starting a new thread for the potential for a record breaking February this year for temperature which currenty in NYC is 39.8 which is 4th warmest - precip which totals 0.15 which is number 1 driest so far and snowfall which is in the top 10 least snowiest so far overall have to investigate if this would be the number 1 month if you combined all 3 of these .....

NorthShoreWx Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Anyone else notice how often 1888 has one of the coldest mins, maxes or both over the course of the entire winter. The March blizzard is famous for having occured following a "mild" spring day, but that mild day was a rare thing that winter. The OKX website only lists 1887-88 as tied for the 12th coldest Dec-Jan-Feb, but they sure did have a lot of very cold days from start to finish that winter. Per the same website, 1888 did have the 3rd coldest January and the coldest March followed by the 3rd coldest April and the 9th coldest May in the past 140 years. 1888 then went on to have the coldest July and the coldest October on record for NYC. That incredible run started the previous fall with 1887 having the second coldest September of the past 140 years, the 6th coldest October, and the 9th coldest November. What a run from 9/1887 right through October of the following year. Kind of the "polar" opposite of what we are in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
