bluewave Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 5 minutes ago, Volcanic Winter said: 60 is going to feel actually tropical next week after we all adjust to this level of cold. I do appreciate Lady Gaia saying, “I’ll give you a cold Xmas, but you can’t have New Years!” It would be a first for 60° around New Years following single digits so close to Christmas. The only Christmas Eve or Christmas in the single digits to ever go over 50° on New Year’s Eve or day was 1989. So we have already gone colder than 1989 around Christmas. This year could be the greatest Christmas to New years warm up on record. Time Series Summary for NY CITY CENTRAL PARK, NYClick column heading to sort ascending, click again to sort descending.

It's amazing how some months are a hair away from looking completely different. 2000 was very very close to being a complete shut out. If that storm was just a bit east/late, would be the record holder. You were correct at the beginning of the month when you pointed out that 2010 was way stronger than this block, and should in no way compare. In the end 2010 was a historic block. That being said, how much snow would Central Park have if the boxing day blizzard was too far east like the models had? Maybe half an inch? Goes to show how lucky we have been, and this month is a reminder that now matter how cold it is or how favorable the pattern looks, snowfall is never guaranteed at our latitude/elevation. IMBY going to finish with 1.5 inches. Amazing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The circle is the 1 standard deviation demarcation. Which is significant in la nina. It's complicated though, those charts belong in the dumpster IMO lol.

Fingers always crossed, but it’s tough to get too excited during a Niña as we exit December having recorded only a trace of snow. Even if the Niña weakens, the atmosphere’ll take time to respond. I think I’ll take anything I can get this winter. Hopefully, the late 90s-like string of boring winters ends with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per my post, 2000 was one storm away from a wasted neg NAO. 2010 was one storm away from wasting a neg NAO. It happens. Where we live there are no guarantees. On the flip side, we had a good snow event in February 2018 where we hit 70 in a furnace this January has no chance to beat. So why can't that happen again this January? This past storm was too far northwest. Next storm will be too far SE. You and MJO should make a bet on the over under snowfall for January. Would you take over/under for Central Park, 4.5 inches? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the late 90s were far worse than the past 4 years WRT snowfall. This year TBD. Will be interesting to see if blocking does return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we had a bunch of over average the last few years, but another 95/96 02/03 13/14 is what I am after. About once a decade here....last one was 17-18 if you go by the 40" per season numbers that a lot of people call a Grade A snow season here.

Will be interesting to see if blocking does return. late 80s/early 90s too. We did a contest a few years ago and I believe the late 80s/early 90s beat the late 90s-- the thing about the late 90s was no one cared because we were all happy with what we got in 93-94 and 95-96 I don't even remember the late 90s-- I didn't start caring again until the March 2001 bust and the terrible 2001-02 season lol. But let's say you do 87-88 to 91-92 and compare it to 96-97 to 99-00 The former was worse..... Let's say you skip over 00-01 and add in 01-02, maybe they're a draw? 5 seasons of futility vs 5 out of 6 seasons of futility lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lot easier to get snow in January and February than it is in December here-- December isn't really a snow month here for a variety of reasons.

Had a monster early Jan snowstorm Yes that was one of the best winters for me too. The Grade A winters in the 10s were 10-11, 13-14, 14-15, and 17-18. Not including 15-16 despite 40" here and the biggest snowstorm ever here, over 30" and below zero in NYC on Valentine's Day because December was historically warm and Jan 16 had the only big snow storm (though we did have a few decent ones in February too.) In the 00s, we had 02-03, 03-04, 04-05, 09-10 (not going to put 05-06 in there even though NYC had 40" and their largest snowstorm until Jan 2016 because it was a warm winter and that was the only big snowstorm). So we had 4 in each of the past two decades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect Chris and I personally do not have an opinion to which is correct, but you should check out Orh Wxman and Coastal WX Mets in the New England forum. Their opinion is the PAC is what ultimately failed us. Again NOT saying which is right, just that there are multiple opinions on why we failed, and maybe it's both. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
