Thats the issue more than anything is it requires insanely high heights and even with that they didn’t hit 80 Maybe with earlier clearing and a slightly more favorable wind direction, NYC would have had a shot today?

bluewave Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Allentown and Reading have both hit 80 degrees. This is the first time any of our climate sites have hit 80 degrees in the month of February. Note: In the table sent out this morning, the February all time records for Mt. Pocono and Reading were reversed. #njwx #dewx #pawx #mdwx pic.twitter.com/nL04gsWOhh 12:02 PM - 21 Feb 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is depressingly disturbing. It should never be 80 in Feb. I ask the warmth lovers, if it was snowing a few inches in July, would you be so nonchalant about it? Or would you think there is something radically wrong? Whatever it does the rest of this winter ( and I have my doubts about any snow, I know what people are posting here but I have read other opinions where not much serious impact is predicted in our region, can't comment further because I don't know the science, I'm up front about that ) the fact will be that it hit 80 in the dead of winter. When will it hit 90? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Not only is today all time record breaking but dews are near 60, there's a definite muginess to the air like you'd feel in early summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And snow during that period would be far more extreme than 80 in February, in the summer our temperatures generally don’t deviate far from average, winter sees much wilder swings. It’d probably take a cataclysmic event for it to snow in the summer. Not downplaying 80 in February, it’s significant. It’d be like EWR or LGA hitting 110 in July.

When will it hit 90? Well we saw snow in October not too long ago, but we would have to break the all time low for July by like 15 degrees to get snow. It's just not possible.

If you told me when I was a kid in the 70's that we would ever hit 80 degrees in Feb, I would have thought you were joking. I have seen 60's. But 80 is just disturbing.

gravitylover Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I didn't get out in the woods today but did spend the day around the yard and was surprised at the lack of flying insects. Filthy casuals? I do prefer drought periods over wet but spring is always a love/hate time of year. I love getting out as it warms up and the forest is waking up, everything from insects to small critters to flora are all getting their act together and there's a sense of newness and fresh life that I just love. I hate the mud but the rest of it, even the moldy, musty, mildewed leaf mat kind of gets me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Incredibly warm on the UWS right now. It has that muggy mid summer night feel. It’s disturbing to me and I do not like it. If it were early April I would be all about it. This is going to have major negative effects on perennials and early flowering fruit trees. Good thing the temp drops significantly tomorrow or we would be in big trouble... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see hyacinth in the warm spots. But the temps weren't around long enough to get them to push in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
