I'd say after Sandy, we should welcome it. I am actually enjoying the normal regime we have enjoyed for most of 2013 and I love the extremes just as much as anyone here but admittedly I needed a break after Sandy even if my backyard was only slightly impacted. My old haunts growing up along the Jersey shore of course took it on the chin and I remain distraught over the damage that was done down there.

Certainly not wishing for another Sandy or anything close it it (hard to believe it'll be a year since and still the danger of an east coast storm is not completely absent yet this season), but a little variation or some good convective action would have been nice.

The good news is that we might see a rather spectacular foliage season if this current weather pattern keeps up, already noticing colors popping up.

Yea, it is really hard to believe its been a year already. Man I remember I did not get any sleep that entire week leading up to the storm, crazy how time flies.

It's a usual cycle out here of dry summers due to the influence of the marine layer, and then more active rest of the year with nor'easters and coastal storms. I think we catch up in the fall/winter. We have a long way to go before we can call this a real drought.

 

I dissagree when trees start turning brown (and some are actualy dead) you are in a true drought. We have had less then an inch of rain in Wantagh since July. Thats nuts and really bad for plants in general.

October 1st starts the official snow season...last year was average but did have one good storm...many loose change events before February...The November storm came to early but it still counts...the farmers almanac is calling for a November snowfall...we are in a cycle when NYC is getting early snowfalls...October 29th 2011 and November 7th 2012 were huge storms for so early in the season...then nothing in December...I rather have a more normal season with snow in December instead of snow with the leaves still on the trees...

From your lips to God's ears. After the past two winters I hope I don't see a flake until December 1st.

We also came very close at the end of October 2008 with the heavy snows missing to our west.

The lake effect crew got their historic early season hit in October 2006.

Thanks, lets just hope we have a good year this time. Last year was lackluster here on Staten Island.

It was about a normal season for the immediate NYC area and much above normal as you headed east through Long Island and up into New England. Par for the course with a Nina winter. Hopefully this season we have more of a STJ influence and more chances for storms that blow up before it's too late.

Strong signal for a +EPO/-AO/-NAO pattern to end September and start October.

The +EPO this time of year is what we usually see when the Pacific is in more of

a Nina mode.

I was lurking around and was intrigued in the fact you mentioned this because I happened to blog about it a couple days ago.

It does look like this +EPO/-PNA pattern will continue for awhile. I do not think the NAO stays negative for long either.
