Stormlover74 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Yeah 2007, but that shattered the previous record I think we saw readings as high as the low 70s a few years back in mid January and it was a beautiful sunny day as well. Amazing that even with widespread upper 50s/low 60s, records go as high as the low 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocoAko Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hey, if there is zero chance of snow... why shouldn't it be warm? 61F and rising here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing that even with widespread upper 50s/low 60s, records go as high as the low 70s. It's quite possible.. Couldn't remember any off the top of my head but either way you slice it, it's a pretty rare treat...

ace0927 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I think most people will be happy if we can at least bump up into double digits for the season. Here are the years since 1995 when NYC had a trace or less of snow in December like this year: 1996-1997...10.0 1997-1998....5.5 1999-2000...16.3 2001-2002....3.5 2006-2007...12.4 its probably important to state whether the years are El Nino, La nina or La Nada... 1996-1997 might be a good match. 1997-1998 was a raging El Nino. 1999-2000 was a stronger La Nina 2001- 2002 was a La Nada 2006-2007 was a mod El Nino Those 4 arent good examples for this year...as far as past history this is kinda of unprecedented. Going from a mod la nina to flat back into la nina territory...only thing close is 2008-2009 and i dont think this winter resembles that one (obviously there are many other factors coming into to play)....all in all, if i were a betting man, and I am...Central Park will finish this season (sans the october storm) with less than 10" for the season...this is not scientific, its just common logic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace0927 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I just hope having spring conditions now won't actually screw Spring later, nothing worse than chilly, raw and wet conditions in April/May. it will for sure screw up spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bates Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Gfs is a weenies dream. Cold and stormy in the mid to long range. You're joking, right? This is for laughs, correct? Surely, you don't mean what you write. Oh brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I have to admit that as much as I love snow, its kinda of nice not driving in the snow and ice, not slipping on black ice, not having to spend hours in the cold digging my car out of the snow, or spending hours shoveling in the cold and wind. Secretly I'm hoping for a major pattern change though, it would really throw off all the warminastas who have had it very good thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace0927 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 The low of 12 just a few mornings ago is feeling like a distant memory. What's amazing is that we have this warmth with a beautiful sunny day. Generally this time of year, it takes a strong mid latitude cyclone tracking to our west to bring these kind of temps here. We could get this warm but generally with squally weather. Pretty amazing stuff that should pretty tell you where we are headed for the next 60 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm At Sea Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 This is my last winter in Buffalo before I moved back home to New Jersey. I was fearful initially for this winter, but we have only received 5.2 inches of snow! We are nearly 28 inches behind normal for this day. Uneblievable.

NorEaster27 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Today blows away the "cold" days we had earlier this week in the anomaly department. Seems so much easier to go +20 on warm days in the winter than go -20 on real cold days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems so much easier to go +20 on warm days in the winter than go -20 on real cold days. Well to get -20 on read cold days, lows would have to be around 10F, highs around 20-22 at least, which is extremely difficult to do. A good snowstorm could help highs stay that low, but no luck this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 How is this awesome? We live in the NYC area, its January 7, not April 27. We get up to 8 months of this type of weather year round, well more like 9 or 10 this year. If you want this constant warmth, then head south to Florida or California because I think this is ridiculous. Get ready for blossoming flowers soon at this rate. Global warming fanatics will probably reign once more after this record warm winter ends. You make it sound like NYC is near the North Pole !. NYC is at the same latitude as Madrid, Spain !

CooL Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 if anyone cares about the possible storm around the 15th, there is an interesting diference between the euro and gfs. The gfs ejects the cutoff low in the southwest faster and it tries to hook up with the northern stream, while the Euro leaves it there to rot until the next trough picks it up. If the gfs is onto the right idea, then something could pop because the northern stream energy is intense on both models. Atleast there's something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
