Keith O Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 12z Euro is going to lose the system now for the middle of next week. Are there any models showing any significant precip threats (rain or snow) between now and middle of next week? Latest GFS showing less than 0.25" total from now through Sat the 15th.

bluewave Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 This is turning out to be one of our coldest first weeks of March in some time as NYC is -10.1 through the 5th with another double digit down departure day today staying below freezing. I think the last time the first week of March finished below -10 was 1960. http://www1.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/orders/IPS-714C94E6-FBD5-4D73-9CF5-2C9EB5C6DD42.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 1978 might be another very cold start... That's right. March 1978 started out with a -11 for the first week. It was the last January and February below freezing at NYC with March under 40. So we just need to maintain a -2.6 or lower departure through the end of the month to do it again. http://www1.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/orders/IPS-23065C93-E226-4D5A-8CC9-7511E8ED14C7.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 March will likely be below normal but a lot of that will be skewed by a very cold first week and a couple of well below normal days throughout the month. Probably 60-70% of the month will be near or above normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazzo83 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Don't look at the GFS if you like warm weather. Was the 55-60 for today seen by the models a week+ back? It's becoming spring, warmth will start to over-perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Warmth will typically over perform especially on any southerly or SW winds but it always tends to underperform with any cloud cover or onshore easterly winds. In a strong backdoor situation it could be full sunshine but temperatures could be stuck in the low 40s under brisk winds in late March/April.

NickD2011 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Will there be more backdoor cold front situations this spring with the cooler ocean? I'd like to see another "epic" backdooring with NYC in the low 50s, New Brunswick in the upper 50s, Trenton in the upper 60s, and Philly in the mid 70s.

SnoSki14 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Uh, no. Just no. I hate back door season with a passion. There's some intrigue to back door season. I remember driving a few miles and it went from 80 to low 50s where I live, and you can smell the ocean and see the low level clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle W Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 today was a wimpy torch with the 57 KNYC had...It just missed a record high by 19 degrees....2009 and 2012 had 70 or higher around this date...When we hit 70 it usually means the end is near...57 means the end isn't here...

SnoSki14 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Agree with wimpy, we had 70 in late December and we've gotten 60s and 70s several times in Dec-Feb in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pamela Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 That's an important stat because minimum temperatures have a large effect on vegetation, animal populations, and the spread of infectious diseases. I'm hoping the trend towards more <32F nights in the past couple of years (high totals in Winter 10-11 and this year) means a safer climate in many ways for us. In the long run...a colder climate might potentially reduce some infectious diseases that are common in the tropics such as malaria...but overall, a warmer climate is far more beneficial to the earth overall because it allows more agriculture to take place...and the food supply is absolutely essential to the survival of the human race...right up there with breathable air & water. It is a little known fact...but if the mean temperature across the Prairie Provinces of Canada were to go down by 1 C...grain production would be drastically affected. Food cannot be grown in the cold...and anyone who thinks that a general increase in global temperature would have a more deleterious impact on human life than a general decrease is quite simply mistaken.
