Funny how to certain people here the storms are always “trending” to a NYC metro area snowstorm without fail, every single time…..if it’s too far east, it’s “trending” west, too far west? it’s “trending” east, too far north? It’s “trending” south, too far south? It’s “trending” north…just as sure as the sun rises in the morning, you can predict exactly which way a particular storm is “trending” in their minds….

I am from eastern mass so mostly post on the New England board, but I every time I see you post it’s something negative. This winter has been great so far, NYC is already just a few inches under it’s seasonal average and so is Boston, and there are 2 months left. Cmon man, stop being such a buzzkill and enjoy your foot.

He is enjoying his foot but it's usually in his mouth after his weather forecasts.

Torch is going to fail with the mjo going into 3

It'll be close, they're hanging between 3/4 so could go either way.

I do think a warmer pattern eventually wins out but could be delayed.

We could also go back and forth which means we'll be fighting a gradient pattern. Hopefully it breaks colder/snowier. 

There's a lot of Arctic air up north which is good. That will keep us in the game. I do think place N/W that missed out today will catch up quickly.

9 here, inland Toms River.

With a solid breeze and blowing pixie dust this is easily the coldest night of the year for us despite me having seen slightly lower temps on a couple other nights.

Very cold January, and easily the coldest nor'easter I have any memory of.

Bring on more in Feb, let's turn this into an epic winter.

Don’t kill me but, I like the weather channel naming winter storms. It’s a good point of reference. Why say Jan 3rd 2013 for example when you can say “winter storm Barbara”. Makes it easier to remember. 

I find it much harder to remember those self serving names.  It's much easier to remember 2/8/2013 than to remember Juno or Junius, or whatever the heck they called that one.

The last two days of January are averaging 20degs.(12/28), or -13.

Wild T swings in February but no good storms showing yet.

Does anyone have any recommendations for resources explaining teleconnections in greater depth than most of the general explanations I already understand?   Short of taking a course, (which I do not have time for, or a good school nearby) I'm not sure where to dive deeper into the science.  Thanks.

Morning thoughts…

In the wake of yesterday’s snowstorm, today will be fair but cold. High temperatures will likely reach the middle 20s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include:

New York City (Central Park): 24°

Newark: 24°

Philadelphia: 24°

Tomorrow will be fair and somewhat warmer with temperatures returning to the 30s.

Another extreme weather reversal from December to January. We went from one of the warmest Decembers on record to one of the snowiest Januaries. These sharp reversals from month to month have become more common in recent years. The last December to January one to make big headlines was the 15-16 winter. Also notice how many of the top 10 snowiest Januaries there have been since 2010. ACY takes the most extreme snowfall record for January beating  the previous  record holder by 12.9”.

Almost tough to reconcile how cold it’s felt this January with the fact it’s only 3.5 degrees below the new average.  Maybe we’re all getting soft lol.  

Perfect winter morning out there - bright Sun on fresh snow, 13f in Wading River.  
 

-3.5 during the coldest month of the year is pretty cold. 
I noticed on the way into work today little neck bay is almost completely frozen. I haven’t seen that since feb 15, so this is legit cold.

the difference in visual effects of the storm from the island to the city is incredible. Looks like the aftermath of one of our classic blizzards on the island, in the city…. Not so much
