Move out to rural Nevada. Some of the mountainsides get exactly what you would like almost every day in summer.

But you probably wouldn't survive to enjoy the entire summer due to starvation. You'd have to adapt to a diet of rattlesnakes, buzzards, and jack rabbits in order to stay alive.

Yea not sure if the trade off is quite worth it!

I'm thinking that NYC should be able to make it to 65 degrees on Thursday with the current set up, perhaps a little warmer. High pressure off the coast, SW winds, partly sunny skies and a warm air mass should probably make Thursday the warmest day, depending on what happens with the cold front on Friday. The GFS is currently showing near 60 degrees, and from my experience it tends to be a couple of degrees too cold during warm spells. The ECM data on Weather Underground and the CMC easily show 60+ degrees as well.

6z GFS temperatures for Thursday:

Yeah, if that map verifies warmer places Newark have a shot at the upper 60's if those +8C 850's are correct.

This is really painful to look at.

In a non-progressive pattern, this would have blown up into something big.

Oh well.

That was the radar from this morning - if only it would've actually been closer, more amplified and stronger... and tomorrow we get to watch yet another snowstorm miss us to the south. I'm really looking forward to spring just so I can forget about this winter.

this will be remembered as one of the weirdest falls/winters on record -october snowstorm then only a few inches more for the entire winter and some areas further south in the mid atlantic will end up with more snow then NYC for the winter -unless we get a late season surprise snowstorm - in this winter anything is possible..all of this while being one of the warmest widespread winters on record in the east

Makes sense given nothing in the pattern is favorable for cold and snow and we are rapidly heading into spring.

Euro is very warm in the medium and long range with an abundance of upper 50's and 60's. Maybe even a 70 mixed in there as well

I sometimes look at models in summer to make sure there isn't some massive surge of heat coming. Man I hate the heat. And especially humidity.

Perfect summer day: 75-80, partly cloudy, a dewpoint of 20 and a breeze of 10-15mph.

This.

I wouldn't get that excited yet about any real long periods of warm weather yet - if you look at the PNA its is forcasted to go positve after about the 10th http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/pna/pna.sprd2.gif

and the NAO is forcasted to start falling towards even about the same time - will it finally go negative ?http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/pna/nao.sprd2.gif

the AO is positive now - don't have any outlooks for that

However, the effect of a +PNA has been muted so far this winter. I mean look at late Jan/Feb. We had a +PNA during that period until very late Feb. In this stretch, we had a RIDICULOUSLY long period of +32 temps, by my calculation the second longest ever in the Jan/early Feb period. We stayed above 30F for 3 whole weeks. In the dead of winter. Then we had the warmest Feb on record. In this period we recorded a whole 0.2in of snow.
