today was the 90th day with a minimum of 32 or lower in Central Park...The most since 1976-77...

 

Very impressive that we have to go back to 1960 to find more 32 or lower minimums in March.

We should bring the total this month up to 19 by Thursday before we get milder.

this is the coldest Nov-Mar period since 1995-96...It will be one of the coldest March on record with less than a half inch of snow...That is if we don't get anything tonight...1873, 1874 and 1901 were other March's with an average temp below 40 with less than a half inch of snow...

Looks like another record low possible for JFK tomorrow with the forecast lows in the low 20's.

NYC could get to just a few degrees higher than record set in the late 1800's. The models

also have record low potential for Newark.

 

JFK

3/27

24 in 2001

24 in 1975

26 in 1982+

 

NYC

3/27

20 in 1894

21 in 1873

22 in 1915+

 

EWR

3/27

23 in 2001

23 in 1975

24 in 1982+

Are we really done with true Arctic air after today for the most part ?? More polar based air masses and a few Pacific based ones going forward. Will we stop struggling at 35 and break 40 more easy very soon based on what you folks see ?

This point of the year its only of when not if we dump the cold for good. April with a tanking NAO will sadly most likely mean rain and cool conditions with sunny/warmer days mixed in. We may have to wait till may to start seeing some consistently nicer weather

It's looking like we should probably finish March with a -4.0 or lower departure at NYC

ranking it among the lowest  monthly temperature departures of the 2000's so far.

 

March 2014..............-4.9 to date

January 2014............-4.0

December 2010........-4.5

January 2009............-4.1

February 2007..........-6.3

January 2004............-7.3

February 2003...........-4.5

January 2003............-4.6

December 2000.........-5.5

July 2000.................-4.5

I don't think that anyone would have taken a bet at the end of February that we would average only a tenth of an

inch more snow  than the 0 we got in March 2012 when the temperature averaged 50.9 degrees.

 

March 2014

 

AVERAGE MONTHLY: 36.6

DPTR FM NORMAL: -4.9

SNOW, ICE PELLETS, HAIL

TOTAL MONTH: 0.1 INCH

 

March 2012

 

AVERAGE MONTHLY: 50.9

DPTR FM NORMAL: 8.4

SNOW, ICE PELLETS, HAIL

TOTAL MONTH: 0.0 INCH

You've really lost your touch. I don't like it. You were much more fun when you predicted snow piles until flag day and every storm to be a top 5 nesis from 8 days out.

Yea hes lost some of his weenie tendencies IMO. He doesnt have those historic forecasts like earlier in the winter when the storms we're going to be products of god wrath. Instead this month we've ended up having mother nature take a huge dump on us :lol:

What a waste of cold air .

 

Unfortunately, some months the PV just ends up suppressing snow south. December 1989 with a much colder departure

was another famous example of this. But at least this year we had a fantastic winter through February.

I want spring temps to come. Winter needs to just go away for good and get rid of the temps. Why are you all in? Arent you done with the snow and cold yet?

Frankly we could use the snow. People say "for what" and I say, to make it the second or third snowiest in NYC history. We are not breaking 1995-6 though.
