From about 10pm Saturday until late last night, we had basically sustained 20-30mph winds here with gusts hitting 50-60. Don't remember a period of quite that length with such consistent strong winds. Oh the joys of Battery Park City in the winter... I can't believe the winds still up today. It's been a complete nightmare for me doing leaf cleanup. The wind here at Columbia on a west wind comes right up the hill in riverside park off the Hudson with all the leaves with it. As far as temps last night it was all about the wind. West Hampton was only a couple degrees cooler then the park. Tonight if winds go calm they will drop in to the upper teens while the park sits around 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdp146 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 That was certainly one of the longest stretches of wind advisory type winds I can remember. Through it all I still haven't hit freezing and more surprising is that I still have a ton of leaves on the tree in my backyard. Usually have the guys do fall clean up today. Had to push it to next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we would see a departure like that in the summer months. Correct me if I'm wrong but that would mean an avg. daily high of around 100 for the entire month. That's not happening, at least not in this lifetime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Had my first freeze in Dobbs on Monday, 11/21, with a low of 32F. Last night got down to 33F. Cold daytime highs have been a bigger story. And it would be impossible to be +13 in summer. Not enough jet stream variation in those months considering the mean jet is in northern Canada. Summer departures are usually from -4 to +4, and depend more on local conditions than 500mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a very warm summer 2016 and yet June was average, July around +2, and August near +3.5. Nowhere close to +13. The exact numbers for KNYC were June @ +0.8F, July @+2.2F, and August @ +4.0F. One of the warmer summer$ in recent times, but the total departure was +2.3F. Definitely noticeable as a warm summer even though it was nothing compared to the Dec 2015 or Dec 2006 departure and incessant warmth.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I believe the only areas of the US that have experienced near +10 departures during the summer have been on the Great Plains during extreme drought. There may have also been departures approaching these levels over portions of the interior Western US.

Also, wildfires created almost constant smoky conditions in the city. Summers down there are brutal enough under normal conditions, I can't imagine days above 110F (and the heat there often isn't a dry heat). The only part of the country that's hotter is the desert Southwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaves were like snowdrifts around my yard, all the leaves from the block blew right into my property, complete nightmare. I may hire someone to do it next year. Ive spent the last 4 weekends doing the leaves, combined 16 hours of time. Huge waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twice a week I fill up half a bag or so with little piles as they collect. Like you said though, even with the trees surrounding our whole property being bare, I still had to gather up some massive piles today from the wind blowing other people's leaves back over. Seems like the neighborhood is pretty leaf-free now, so maybe just one more bag to fill this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, they do a better job on this than they did with the -AO forecast a week ago which was too strong. The pattern is finally going to take on a classic La Niña look. It was just a matter of time. Models are showing a strong aleutian ridge developing and an RNA (-PNA). This is a classic westerly QBO during a La Niña pattern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
