The record MJO and strat warming event flipped our pattern to colder. Funny how the MJO never missed an opportunity to hit the warm phases between October and February. Since then, it has found a way to miss the warm phases every time.

Next winter it would be nice if we could get the timing right for once, our clock has been off the last couple of winters.

Had this pattern started 1/15 or even 2/1 we would have possibly had historic seasonal snowfall totals...

This was the first time that a March into April cold and snowy pattern made up for such a mild January 10th to February 28th. Now, there aren't any catalysts showing up yet that would flip the pattern back to extended warmth. So we take a few spring days at a time like Friday and Saturday.

Yeah, a colder winter version of the March into April storms may have resembled a wild stretch like 12/26/10 to 1/26/11.

Euro weeklies show us below normal temp wise until the very last week of the run, (last week of May)

Forky posted this yesterday which was music to my ears. Hopefully we are getting back into a much more active period.

back in 1896 NYC was having three straight days in the upper 80s low 90s...this came after 33" of snow in March and early April...it was the benchmark for early warmth until 1976 and 2002 around this date...

Next 8 days averaging just 50degs., or about 5 or 6 degrees BN.

Rossby Wave Train has been consistent in showing BN Temps. for first half of May and Normal for second half.  The period M, J, J looks Normal with a + bias for us.

This is ridiculous, bring on spring/summer already. It looks like things should start warming up a bit over the next few days but still below normal until we start getting more normal temps in the low to mid 60's beginning next week.

..it is ridiculous..34* here..KFOK @ 33*..at least it will be sunny today and the w/e looks to 

have clear skies..so, even if temps stay BN the sun will do its magic..declination of the sun 

is equivalent to late august now, so,..to quote bill murray..."at least we got that going for us"..

Unusually cool spring so far in NYC for the 3/1-4/17 period since 1980. It's actually the 3rd coldest at 42.6 degrees. The same period in 2012 was 10 degrees warmer at 52.6. That was the second warmest of all time.

#1...41.3...1984

#2...41.6...1996

#3...42.6....2018...2007...1992
