The MOS is more than 3° above that figure, so it is very likely that we'll set a new February record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pity we didn't get 0.6" more snow in February, it would be fun to have the warmest February on record AND 10" of snow- but I suppose LGA can make that happen, no?

Still, the blizzard was, by far, NYC's biggest snowfall following a 60° day. We'll probably see at least one measurable snow event in March, though I think the 0z GFS was colder than how things will play out. Overall, March still looks more likely to have a warm anomaly, especially if the second half witnesses a return to warmer than normal conditions.

I was under the impression that mosquitoes and other bugs actually go away when it gets really hot and the humidity is less. I've always seen more bugs in temps in the 80s with high humidity rather than extreme heat waves like upper 90s or higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the second week of March is when we could cash in. Then the warmth comes back lol. Hasn't the pattern since early January been that the second week of the month sees a moderate to major snow event and then the weather moderates for the rest of the month?

Hasn't the pattern since early January been that the second week of the month sees a moderate to major snow event and then the weather moderates for the rest of the month? I believe that the second week of March has the best chance for a cool anomaly with the period running from the middle of the first week of the month to the middle of March perhaps having the best chance at measurable snow. The transition to warmer anomalies could begin sometime during the third week of the month. The SOI has been negative lately, and an SOI-/AO+ combination, should it develop, would favor warmth for the second half of March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, several degrees warmer today where I am. 62 currently with a very light onshore wind. With the front approaching I would expect the onshore flow to increase and a possible Ambrose jet event to develope. That should knock down temps this afternoon but for right now we are warmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, why doesn't develop further east like over the Hamptons lol. Temp contrast between the ocean and the Jersey shore? I'll take a stab but it's really a question for bluewave. It's an enhanced sea breeze. It has to do with the geography of the Ny bight. It tends to peak with an approaching cold front and especially squall line. it's named after the Ambrose light tower (that giant red metal tower) that used to take Weather and sea state obs. It can be pretty intense and very localized. Having been a jones beach life guard for the past 18 summers I have seen it in action year after year. It can produce sustained winds over 40 and gusts over 50mph right at the beach. While just inland and to the west winds are much much lighter. Even further off shore the effects are easy to observe. If you look at wind measurements from the Texas tower buoy out by the Hudson canyon winds will be much lighter. The best way to experience the Ambrose jet is to come in from a fishing trip far offshore. Winds 20 plus miles out will be moderate and increase as you get closer to the beach till you get right within a couple miles and into full gales.

Is it that thing that causes those crazy winds here in May? I remember when it's in the 70s in the city and in the 50s here and the winds are blowing crazy strong and it feels COLD. I don't know if that kind of a thing is going to happen this year with how warm it is already. I remember this more when we had cold winters- the last time was 2015.
