I still remember attending a meeting and getting a tour of the NWS office at 30 Rock back in the 1980's. It was great to finally meet the people who were the

voices of NOAA weather radio which I listened to every day since the 70's.

 

I did a tour of OKX back in the 90's shortly after they moved out there. All the workstations and especially the doppler console was really cool to see in person.

There appeared to be a section of binders with old weather records near where you come in to the office.

those were the original climate binders from past years...They were taken there from Rockefeller and The Battery when they moved...

ever since the bureau moved to Upton which might as well be Boston the obs from Central Park have been suspect at times...

So far this cold season there have been just 29 days of 32 or less for lows and 6 days of 32 or less for highs at CPK.     I believe about 70-75 32-degree days is the norm, and 15-20 times it fails to go above 32.    Using a cutoff of April 15 for the last 32-degree day, gives us 63 more chances to get 40 more 32-degree days.   Unlikely with even a good pattern, I would think.

Thanks.  Looks like the normal number is greater than the 75 I imagined it to be, though this may be closer to the truth since say 1950.

Well even with a torch of a winter EWR on east is at 20"+ for the season and may very well finish with 30"+

12z Euro completely drops next Thursday's threat. It's time to write off next week's potential as we are inside the Euro's deadly range.

And the EPS/GEFS has NEVER supported this threat in the beginning as the smart posters in the Mid-Atlantic thread also stated yesterday.

More people should read the insightful analysis in that sub-forum as almost everything that they discuss applies to our area as well.

Lmao no it hasn't it's just phases it later. And it sucks for them because they're further south. Get out of here with this crap. What happens down there doesn't always translate up here. Take this past Thursday they got **** down there while we had 8 plus inches of snow

And the EPS/GEFS has NEVER supported this threat in the beginning as the smart posters in the Mid-Atlantic thread also stated yesterday.

More people should read the insightful analysis in that sub-forum as almost everything that they discuss applies to our area as well.

LOL right, that's why they average 28" of snow per season right?

Climatology of the MA is about as different from this area as we are from New England.  Actually we are more similar to southern SNE than we are to any location in the MA south of about Toms River

Lmao no it hasn't it's just phases it later. And it sucks for them because they're further south. Get out of here with this crap. What happens down there doesn't always translate up here. Take this past Thursday they got **** down there while we had 8 plus inches of snow

See winter 1993-94 for another gaping discrepancy.  We don't have a similar climate to any area south of about Toms River than we do to, say, Providence, RI.

I disagree, Boston averages nearly 20 more inches of snow compared to NYC, while NYC averages only 10 more inches than DC.

BOS - 43.5"

NYC - 25.3"

PHL - 21.9"

DCA - 15.4"

These are 1981-2010 averages.

[uncle W]

so far for Boston, NYC, Philly, the 2010's are the snowiest decade on record...the average could go down some after this year...

You have to look at it in terms of percentage. DCA averages 60% of NYC's snowfall, and NYC averages 57% of BOS's snowfall. So it's about the same. You can't use raw inches because the larger snowfall experienced by northern areas distorts the difgerence.

I don't consider Boston to be southern SNE though- I was talking more about Providence and comparing it to Long Island.  Boston should have a lot more snow than us, they aren't that far from New Hampshire and Maine lol.

It was 99F at one station in southwest Oklahoma yesterday.

Denver also had its earliest 80F reading on record by over a month. Previous date of earliest 80F was 3/16.

Record heat in Sydney, Australia for their summer also.

 

http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/intense-heat-to-break-121-year-old-record-in-sydney-australia/70000809

 

After a 121-year-old heat record fell on Friday, dangerously hot weather will continue to bake Sydney, Australia, on Saturday.

Saturday became the 11th day this summer to record highs exceeding 35 Celsius (95 Fahrenheit) at Sydney's Observatory Hill (the city’s official weather station) as temperatures soared to 36.0 C (96.7 F).

Never before have so many such days been registered in a summer since record-keeping began in 1859. The old record for the most days was nine, which was originally set during the summer of 1895-96, according to data from the Bureau of Meteorology.

At the Sydney Airport, a new record was set for the hottest February day with a high of 42.9 C (109.2 F) on Friday. The old record was 42.6 C (108.7 F) originally set on 21 February 1980.

For a city where a high of 26.5 C (80 F) is more common in February, this latest blast of heat will continue to put a strain on residents.

Right? We've had ice and sleet all day at MMU. Still gross on top of stale snow. Nothing beats fresh snow.

Sheesh, with temps that high, there might be a continent-wide record set there.  Has anywhere in Australia ever hit 50C/122F?

Might be late in the game,  but CFS showing an outstanding 22 BN days out of the next 30 day period.    This includes the longest BN stretch I have seen it produce in a long time, late Feb. to March 14 inclusive.    Looks 'inky blue' for a change at times, so remove the sun glasses and get out the ear muffs.   In mid-Jan this pattern would have both scared and delighted me!
