Interesting that neither last November or the one before are on this list- both were very cold!

Also interesting not to see the very snowy and cold November 1989 and November 2012 not on this list.

The cold came later last November. It was the 4th coldest 14th-24th on record for NYC.

We were more competitive with the late 1880’s on the number of freezes for NYC. This year tied the record of 5 days for the first 2 weeks of November.

Wow that is pretty good!  With the arctic shot coming in for the start of the weekend, we'll break that record (for the first 16-17 days anyway.)

The record colder minimums are really driving the departures this month in NYC.

min temp departure....-6.9...max....-4.0.....avg....-5.5

thats a big change!  what has neutralized the effect of UHI?  The fact that we've had fresh arctic masses coming in every few days rather than a lingering stale arctic air mass?

I am not sure that Manhattan was ever the greatest spot to radiate at night. It is a narrow island surrounded by water. So NYC probably always needed strong cold air advection to set record lows. I found this UHI study that was published 11 years ago with data through 2002. It found that UHI was already strongly established by around 1900. In addition, the UHI effect isn’t really that much stronger in Central Park than it was back then. They have a bunch of charts and graphs.

Enjoy the November cold everyone; it might be the only cold you have

Joke? In all seriousness based on what? It’s a pretty safe bet at this point to go with an above normal winter but there should be another cold period sometime in January-March even 2011/12 had at least one cold period.

If you look at the foot print of Manhattan developers started building around the park fairly early in the 1880s. Since then not much has changed, you have a large park surrounded by buildings.
As far as the lows it’s been dry again, need a cloudy day to keep highs down and we haven’t seen that.

The upcoming relaxation. I'm not convinced we re-load. "Another cold period sometime between January and March", really can't miss with that one...

wow 1917-18 only had one major snowstorm even though 60" of snow fell that year and it was below zero multiple times?

Uh?

Are you looking at the ensembles ? Models are starting to show blocking which is moving up in time. Hopefully that occurs though.

Yeah when I went back and looked at the surface maps post 1910 of all the below zero nights I think all of them minus that insane 1917 outbreak had strong winds.  The difference is for some reason there were more instances of highs/arctic outbreaks entering the US east of 80-85W back then where as now we rarely if ever see that and when we do often times the trajectory will be too E-SE so the core of the cold air goes over New England and not here.

Of the top 10 coldest November average temperature years since 1990 in NYC, most had a mild December. Nearly all of the few cold Decembers were La Ninas.

hence why a cold November is usually a bad sign for winters here lol.

the exceptions were all la ninas?

 

nope 2002 was a major el nino exception (but it also had a hot summer so that may partially explain it- a late onset el nino.)

 

2013 and 2014 weren't la ninas either were there?

maybe the lack of arctic highs entering further east has to do with the arctic warming and the glacier melt over Greenland.

Weather pattern next 2 weeks looks pretty dull honestly, surprised given some of the teleconnections/MJO. 

This has been a dry month too and that looks to continue, really hope that's not a theme heading forward.

There's some blocking showing up but without a -EPO we're just dealing with a stale north Pacific airmass that'll bring near normal temps.

I guess it could be much worse but not much to get excited about for a long time.

It could be some sort of cold AMO connection too.  Most of the below 0 days occurred during that so likely has at least some impact on it

Has the AMO switched back yet or is it forecast to do so within the next few years?  I know we had a lot of cold dry winters back in the 80s, so it's probably not going to be as exciting as the last couple of decades have been.

well cold and dry / mild and wet would be a sign of an AMO switch.....

this weekend may have the last arctic shot for a long time, and looks like the Euro will be right with its idea of a single Scandanavian high, rather than the dual blocking pattern of the GFS.

I’m talking an extended period, weeks not days. An 01/02 redux is extremely unlikely this winter

yeah that year and 11/12 featured dry warm conditions which started around 11/1 and never really wavered except for a 10 day period in mid to late January those years.
