Then it started to get windy and I was worried about power outages. By the way you should be happy we're talking about high temperature extremes and ice storms in the same thread lol. January 7-8th, 1994 was the second greatest ice storm since 1960 in NYC...Dec. 73 is the worst...I have a video of it in my almanac thread...I went to work early Friday morning around 6am on the 7th...I had to hold on to some fences while walking down the block...all freezing rain at that point...Then sleet mixed in during the day...Mostly freezing rain at night and early Saturday morning...some flurries at the end and temperatures remained below freezing...I had around 1/2-3/4 of an inch of icing on exposed objects...This is an under rated storm for that year...there was an ice storm a few days before but we got into a milder sector and most of the ice melted from trees and other objects...

As I recall the park had a broad hill. It was right across the street from St Ephrems Church and school. My mother used to bring me to the park in the early fifties. I lived on 75th off of 11th. When a good T storm would approach from the west it seemed very dramatic to me 65 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first is going in at the Queens College campus. My guesses for the other boroughs are...near Brooklyn College....near NYC upper west side...NW section of Staten Island..NW Bronx. It also looks like OKX may join the network. I hope we get a station in northern Nassau and/or NW Suffolk. That 100 mile void between LGA and Southold needs to be filled. A station in Jones Beach or Long Beach would be nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to McKinley Junior high just across the street from the park from 9/61 to 6/64...It was one of a few parks with parallel bars and chinning bar...

I went to St Ephrems 1952 to 60. I never remember any interaction problems with the McKinly students. I also remember using the Jr. Highs schools facilities in the summer. Different days and times I guess. We used to play war games and attack the hill. I remember the kids park with the slides and no protective ground cover or anything, by today's standards little of what was there than, would be allowed to exist We did survive, however.

That strong high pressure allowed for a coastal hugger to keep the City, and especially LI, below freezing even with the tight track which caused mid-level temps to be well-above freezing. It actually looks a bit like the 3/14/17 storm this year, though with a much better high pressure (and climo is about 10F colder in mid January than mid March). The 500mb map also shows the predominant hemispheric pattern in Winter 1977-78: a western ridge that amplified back into Alaska causing a very -EPO. This strong meridional pattern caused the Cleveland Superbomb, the Blizzard of February 78, and the cold high pressure that followed that major snowfall. Great pattern. Interestingly, 76-77, 77-78, and 78-79 all had a huge -EPO. 76-77 was the coldest winter in the East, especially Jan 1977, and 78-79 was the coldest winter in the CONUS since records began in the late 1800s. Every single state had below normal temperatures in Winter 78-79. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rtd208 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Looks like we are going to start getting back into a wetter pattern beginning mid week, the GFS shows a few opportunities for rainfall, not sure what the other models are showing though.

Today should be our last 80's until May. Plenty of days with easterly flow coming up for the second half of April with more rain chances to help put the drought even further behind us. Seems like we're entering a cool and fairly wet period. I think 70's might even be hard to reach after Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temps will probably be in the 60's for the most part with at least a few days reaching into the 70's. I agree with Bluewave, no more 80 degree temps after today until next month. Cooler and wetter will be the theme the remainder of April and probably to start May as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it also depends on the timing of the rain. My forecast for Wednesday is only 56° with showers in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
