earthlight Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 As we continue through this pattern we will begin to see some records coming up (bad ones). This is the first on the list. @nymetrowx: No snow in NYC this winter through January 6th. The record latest date for snow in NYC is January 10th. It looks like we are headed for a new record.

Analog96 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 it states "this winter" Didnt realize October is winter According to the NWS climate definitions, seasonal snowfall totals go from July 1 to Jun 30.

The record I was referencing refers to the latest snowfall in the winter season, though, so I assume that's what they are speaking about...the latest NYC has seen it's first snow after meteorological winter began was January 10th.

Jiohn, I think they count the 10/30 snow towards this winter - so that record would not be broken. Rossi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atownwxwatcher Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 A -ao with a +nao could set up a gradient pattern. Yes but with a - PNA the question becomes where and who would benefit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTrials Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Euro in the day 8-10 period looks like a -nao. It probably will look like that on those silly nao charts but won't do much good to beat down that SE ridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag3 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 It probably will look like that on those silly nao charts but won't do much good to beat down that SE ridge. The low in northern Canada pushing east into the Atlantic messes that up. Get that out of the way and the ridging into Greenland would do its work.

ag3 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 +PNA has helped however its been strong enough to muck up a few ok setups, especially for the people up north, and on that map, its clearly evident. I see it trying to pop up again on the euro ensembles but looks like the pac takes care of it again. Euro ensembles look cold at the end of their run Euro ensembles are cold from the mid range, after the cutoff, right until the end. Day 6.5 to 10 and beyond. Similar to gfs and gefs.

Stormlover74 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Craziness News: More Than 1,000 Record Highs Set this Week Friday, January 06, 2012 13:24 ET By Meghan Evans, Meteorologist More than one thousand record high temperatures were set across the U.S. this week! In fact, the total of record highs set over the past seven days is 1,166. On Thursday, 336 record highs were recorded across the Plains and Midwest. "The jet stream was flung to the north over the Canadian Prairies with warmth building over the Southwest over this past week. A southwesterly flow has been carrying the warmth into the Plains and Midwest," said AccuWeather.com Expert Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski. "The lack of snowcover across the country is contributing to the record warmth as well," added AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Andrew Mussoline. On Friday, the warmth surged into the Tennessee and Ohio valleys. The snow depth analysis map from NOHRSC on Jan. 6, 2012, shows only 16 percent of the U.S. covered by snow. That is quite unusual for this time of the year. Some particularly impressive records: -A new all-time record high of 63 degrees was shattered in Aberdeen, S.D., on Thursday. The previous all-time record high for January was 60 degrees. -A record high of 83 degrees was set at San Diego, Calif., on Thursday. The old record was 80 degrees set back in 1969. -Philip, S.D., hit a record high temperature of 74 degrees on Thursday, breaking the old record high of 46 degrees set back in 2002 by almost 30 degrees! -St. Louis, Mo., soared to 66 degrees on Thursday, breaking the old record of 65 degrees set back in 1955.
