donsutherland1 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Despite mainly sunny skies, temperatures remained mainly in the upper 30s this afternoon in the New York Botanical Garden. In addition, the unseasonable cold brought down all the leaves of the Garden’s Ginkgo biloba trees before the leaves had turned a brilliant yellow. Some photos from around the Garden’s Lillian Goldman Fountain of Life, which was completed in 1905 by sculptor Charles Tefft. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 This morning saw the coldest temperatures this season so far. Readings included: Albany: 18° Allentown: 20° Atlantic City: 21° Baltimore: 24° (old record: 25°, 1967, 1976, and 2003) Binghamton: 16° Boston: 28° Bridgeport: 22° (tied daily record set in 1971) Danbury: 15° (tied daily record set in 1992) Harrisburg: 24° Hartford: 20° Islip: 23° (tied daily record set in 1992) New Haven: 23° New York City: 27° Newark: 25° Philadelphia: 25° Poughkeepsie: 17° Providence: 22° Scranton: 19° Sterling, VA: 21° Washington, DC: 30° Westhampton: 14° (old record: 19°, 2003) White Plains: 20° Just before midnight, New York City's Central Park tied the November 8 record low temperature of 29°, which was set in 1886. Tonight will be warmer than last night and readings could the 50s in parts of the region tomorrow and especially Monday. However, even colder air mass than the current one will likely arrive later Tuesday. Following the frontal passage that brings in that cold shot, New York City could see one or two low temperatures in the lower or middle 20s. The minimum temperature Wednesday morning could challenge the Central Park daily record low temperature of 24°, which was set in 1986. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.4°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.7°C for the week centered around October 30. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.67°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.58°C. A neutral ENSO is currently the base case for Winter 2019-20. The SOI was -11.01 today. An SOI reading of -30 or below, as occurred on November 4-5, also occurred during three prior years in the November 1-10 timeframe. All three cases featured a warmer than normal December. The average temperature for those three cases was 2 degrees warmer than normal. Today, the preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) figure was -1.428. Some of the more recent guidance shows the AO remaining strongly negative through the next two weeks. Such an outcome would increase prospects for at least some additional bouts of cold in the East after mid-month. On November 8, the MJO was in Phase 6 at an amplitude of 2.539 (RMM). The November 7-adjusted amplitude was 2.727. The MJO's move into Phase 5 at a high amplitude reinforces the idea of a warmer to perhaps much warmer than normal second half of November. Since 1974, there were 3 cases that saw the MJO in Phase 5 at an amplitude of 1.500 or above for at least 2 days during the November 1-10 period. The November 16-30 temperature averaged 46.1° (0.2° above normal). However, when the case that had a cooler than normal September was excluded, the mean temperature was 49.1° (3.2° above normal). September 2019 had a mean temperature of 70.4°, which was 2.4° above normal. Even as the second half of November will likely experience a pattern change to generally warmer than normal conditions, the magnitude of the cold during the first half of the month has made it very likely that November will finish with a cold anomaly in the region. 80% of the cases that saw New York City record a mean temperature below 46.0° during the first half of November went on to see 20" or more seasonal snowfall. Almost one quarter of such winters saw 40" or more snow. This data would suggest 20"-30" seasonal snowfall for the New York City area absent other variables (some of which could increase or reduce such amounts). Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, New York City has an implied 76% probability of experiencing a colder than normal November. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed what you mentioned about those trees having a mass leaf drop as green leaves. The type of tree you mentioned seems to be especially sensitive to freezing temps. Many other trees still green didnt suddenly drop their leaves overnight. I remember last yr the same thing happened b/c I parked under one and my car was completely covered in green leaves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etudiant Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Saw that phenomenon in progress this morning in NYC Central Park , where there are lots of Ginkos. In still air, their leaves were just showering down, so by the afternoon, the trees were almost bare, with the leaves carpeting the ground right under the trees. It was very pretty in the afternoon sun, the green and gold leaves encircling the tree trunks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a huckleberry tree outside my kitchen. The leaves were completely green and full when I saw them coming down about 8am. Now wind, no other leaves falling. I noticed it happening and was intrigued as I had never seen it before. Took about 2 hours for the entire tree to be bare. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginkos tend to drop leaves faster then any other species once the change color regardless of a hard freeze. My tulip tree did the same thing earlier today as well, just dropped the rest of it’s Leaves despite no wind. Tuesday night/Wednesday anything that survived last night is toast.

Leaves still on the tree. Last year it was green but we had a freeze with temps in the mid 20s and all the green leaves came down over the next day or so. Guess it wasn’t quite cold enough here. Maybe Tue night gets it done this upcoming week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIK62 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Next 8 days are averaging 40degs., or about 7degs. BN. Month to date is -4.0[47.0]. Should be near -5.4[43.7] by the 18th.

Rtd208 Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 If you are hoping for snow in December then you won't like Larry Cosgrove's weekly newsletter. He is basically thinking the colder air remains up in Canada from around November 19th thru the 3rd week of December. It also doesn't sound like things will be very active either. A repeat of last winter incoming? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long range is a crapshoot Yeah well here is the thing, Larry Cosgrove's winter outlook from last year wasn't so great, meaning he went against most outlooks calling for much above normal snow and cold temps and wound up being right. Just something to keep in mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternLI Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 That's the very beginning stages of a -NAO at the end of the ensembles. Both eps and gefs are showing it. Plus, the precursor pattern for it is being advertised before hand as well. Let's get that going in time for December for a change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternLI Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 13 minutes ago, bluewave said: The interesting thing is how strong the Aleutian low is getting. While we are technically ENSO neutral, the November 500 mb pattern is close to 2002. That was one if the fewEl Niño -NAO Decembers in the last 30 years. So it will be interesting to see if we can push back against the mild December pattern since 2011. Yeah, the Aleutian low is where my eyes have been glued since the beginning of the month. It's really good to see since the favorable winter composites have that feature during November. It's not everything, no, but it's much better to have it then not. I think the +IOD could be beneficial this year. Because it acts to suppress tropical convection around Indonesia. Which is the warm phases of the MJO. That was a real problem area last year, as you know. Being so strong this year I wonder if the effects linger through at least a part of the winter. It's really a fascinating year, and I still like what I'm seeing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doncat Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 We may have a shot at some record lows from Tues ( midnight) thru Thurs am. This arctic outbreak coincides with the one in 1986 when my station hit 19°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, a strong Aleutian low in November is typically found with El Niños.This time we have the much intense -EPO blocking of recent Novembers combined with it. So maybe the atmosphere will follow an El Niño progression this year. But the wild card is what the NAO does in December. The default El Niño December is mild for us. So -NAO is required for colder and snowier outcomes like 2002.The NAO has been in a positive state in December since 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
