Beautiful epo ridge showing up on every model.  This isn't your typical nina.

Wow thats a great look and much sooner than we thought....seems like by next weekend...I am always cautious of rushing pattern changes though so lets see how quickly the PNA return to positive.

We reshuffle the deck this week and next.  Glad to get a break from the cold.

We are looking at record highs in a few days but yea, there’s going to be no torch at all…it’s all a mirage the next 2 weeks it’s really going to be record cold. I wish they had clown emojis on here

Today saw the temperature bottom out at 16° in Central Park. New York City has now gone 1,111 consecutive days without a temperature below 10°. That is the second longest such streak on record. The record of 1,410 days was set from February 18, 1930 through December 28, 1933. That record could be surpassed on December 12th. As no single-digit readings are likely through the remainder of February and the last such occurrence during the March 1-December 12 period was December 12, 1988, it is likely that the record will fall. In addition, 4 of the 5 1,000-day streaks have occurred since 1990, with 3 occurring since 2000. Records go back to 1869.

Milder air will pour into the region starting tomorrow. This will set the stage for a warmer than normal second half of February. The potential exists for several days to see much above normal temperatures. Thursday and Friday are two such potential days. Strong winds are also possible later Thursday into Friday. That warmer pattern will likely prevail into the opening week of March. Cooler weather could develop afterward, but uncertainty concerning the timing of such a shift exists.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -1.3°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.7°C for the week centered around February 9. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.77°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.78°C. La Niña conditions will likely persist into at least mid-March.

The SOI was -16.33 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +1.452.

On February 13 the MJO was in Phase 3 at an amplitude of 1.429 (RMM). The February 12-adjusted amplitude was 1.247 (RMM).

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 86% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal February (1991-2020 normal). February will likely finish with a mean temperature near 38.2° (2.3° above normal).

That's definitely a look that could yield some serious cold for early March.  Let's hope we get some more snow chances too.  The lack of NATL blocking makes me wary, but we've done well even in times where it's been absent over the past decade.

I'm def hopeful that the first half of March'll be fun before we close the shades!

yeah I'm 7 miles NW of there and we had easily 25 inches give or take a couple.   I'm surprised no one has ever gone back to adjust it.  For the Blizzard of 2013 they measured 30 inches which was spot on given surrounding reports.

why doesn't someone protest the totals for Jan 1996?  Withhold funding until they bring the totals in line with the rest of the region.

Where did I mention record cold? You’re not the brightest crayon in the box are you….

he's a square peg in a round world, he just doesn't fit in anywhere lol

 

"it's not hip to be square" (a twist on the famous song from American Psycho and Huey Lewis and the News lol.)

 

So this explains what Snowman19 does when it's snowing around here, he's not on the forum because he's out on the town letting out his frustrations on the world lol.

I often wish there were “find a new hobby instead of stalking people that like snow”emojis on here, but certainly no one person in particular in mind. I’m just throwing out random suggestions.

Hey he's fun when you can come up with random funny movie references to describe him.

American Psycho was one of my favorite movies of all time.

The winter seasons have been shifting and it was proven/documented somewhere by researchers. Less cold in December but more cold in March has been happening more and more. 

I don’t think March’s are becoming colder, they just feel colder with early winter warming. It’s pretty easy to see the connection to diminishing sea ice. The open water holds heat and it takes time for the Arctic to cool fully and that effects our cold air source.

Climate experts  say it's shifting what used to be cold in December has shifted later, March.

This isn't the exact article but it essentially says the same thing.

This is also not it lol but shows how March been getting colder seasonally wise.

Directly from NWS:

Believe it or not, today was warmer than yesterday, even though temperatures were at or below the freezing mark (32 degrees or lower). 

The warming trend continues into Thursday as a southerly wind develops. Highs on Wednesday will be in the 40s across the entire forecast area and 50s on Thursday. Portions of NYC and northeast NJ may see highs around 60! Records on Thursday don't seem to be in danger as they are in the middle 60s. #NYws #NJwx #CTwx

Who are you kidding? You posted back in early January I would be wearing short sleeves soon. Define soon because January was 3.5 degrees below normal and February through the first 2 weeks is exactly 1 degree above normal up here. Not exactly beach weather. Just because we will have 1 day near 60 does not make you right. It's currently 15* as I'm typing this. Heat wave I tell ya.

I ran the numbers for our area between the 81-10 and the new 91-20 climate normals. December is the fastest warming month of winter and the entire year. So the record warmth this December fit the pattern. While spring and March has been warming, the rate is lower than the other seasons of the year.

 

The monthly temperature increases from 81-10 to 91-20 have been more pronounced during certain months. Newark and Islip are compared below. The +1.0 or warmer months for either station were bolded.
