Is it linked to the switch to a +NAO the last few years? It’s part of this new warming subtropical Atlantic pattern that has emerged in recent years. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-11046-x 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any drop in the AMO may get muted by all the warm water off the East Coast. So we could continue to see more tropical activity even if the official AMO index goes more neutral or even negative. Just look at what a high impact season we had last year with Florence and Michael and a more neutral AMO than 2017. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthShoreWx Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Some of you who go back far enough may remember Paul Kocin throwing this photo up on a slide during a talk at one of the old EUSWx conferences. A bunch of the SNE and MA folks might remember it too. I was the startled guy in the audience who exclaimed "that's my mom". That's because it is my mom (and my older cousin, long gone). Turns out Paul and I were neighbors growing up. We lost mom last week. Seemed right to mention it here. 6 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow that stretch from 1953-55 must have been something, makes 2010-13 pale by comparison! Interesting that it hasn't happened since 1966, but the 11 year pattern of 1944, 1955, 1966 continues on with bake off summers...... Next one up is 2021 ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rtd208 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I am really glad we that winter is basically behind us now. It didn't live up to expectations and we hope for much better next winter. Looking forward to hopefully getting some good severe/heavy rain events as we head into the spring and summer. The next 10 days look rather quiet so enjoy it.

Nibor Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 https://i.imgur.com/JPepATb.gifv Hiked up Slide Mountain in the Catskills today. If you're still jonesin' for a little bit of winter hike this mountain before the end of March. Drifts at the top are still around 3 feet deep. Awesome hike. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NycStormChaser Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I woke up at 4:00 AM to check out a new art exhibit created by Sebastian Errazuriz. He created a 20-foot public artwork called “blu Marble”. It is visible 24/7 and features a custom made LED screen that projects Earth in real time from outer space. When discussing this exhibit, Sebastian said “Blu Marble is a reminder of our miraculously fragile existence. It places our very existence in perspective at a global level — as a tiny spec in space — beckoning us to live fully with an awareness and mindfulness of our limited time on this vulnerable and beautiful planet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
