Every single day of the month above normal, and most days way above normal. That’s another this has never happened before in 153 years of records. Hope we never see this again but I’m suspecting we will again in the not too distant future.

Today will make it 35 consecutive days above normal. What can you say, this makes the late 90’s look awesome in comparison.

This is why 19-20 and that so-called "snowless" streak of 332 days is not even anywhere in the ballpark of what we have going on now.

That said, it's been snowing for several hours now (granted, it's light snow lol) and it would be ironic if we had an unbroken stretch of snow from this morning to tomorrow morning and it somehow still ended up being a T lol.

Let's see when it happens again. March 2012, then December 2015 and now January 2022, we'll see how soon the next one happens, I'm betting on 5 years or less. It was only a matter of time before the fires of the Arctic spread southward.

Week 1   Averaging 33(26/40) or-1.        Week 2   Averaging  41(34/48) or +6.         GFS correctly got Week 1 in January as about +15.

We will be making the move to Orange County in the next year.

Yes I know the commute to NYC is long but I am willing to do it.

Congrats.. the commute is not as bad as you think. It’s a much much better commute than those who come in from out East or jersey. I’ve been doing it for almost 20 yrs into Harlem/Heights.

The 1932 record will likely fall as it would require a minimum of around 18F at midnight to preserve a tie, possibly lower as I estimated the mean max would remain close to value through 30th of 48.7F. However, if we consider the relative urban heat island magnitudes in 1932 and 2023, the differential may prove to be slightly less, meaning that in a list that is "u.h.i. adjusted" 1932 could remain ahead of 2023. 

It won't be quite the same record shattering that was done on several occasions for December. This is a table of the top 12 Decembers including ranks for Toronto, and it can be seen that 1982 began a series of record breakers (from 1891) that for NYC included 1984, 2001 and 2015, which added an incredible margin of 3.7 C or 6.7 F deg to the existing record (2015 vs 2001) and 4.7 C (8.5 F) for 2015 compared to the 1891 record first broken by 1982. For Toronto the existing record was (NYC's 12th place December) 1923, and this was only tied in 1982 and 1998, then broken in 2001 and eventually 2015 (a margin of 2.0 C). At both locations the old record was eclipsed by nine or ten other years (some of which never held the record) after 1982. 

January has had a different evolution but perhaps in the future will begin to break the 1932 record more frequently in the style of December and also February which has many recent contenders also. The different performance of various months in this recent climate warming era is an odd detail as some months have moved ahead more frequently and with a larger margin than other months.

it's actually fun though when they happen all day long and you can actually see them and enjoying seeing them fall.

 

no doubt, i woke up to flurries here in white plains, i opened the blinds and let out a loud "HOLY SHIT ITS SNOWING"

my girlfriend, who was still asleep at this point, wasn't as amused as I was

Early tomorrow morning sounds better than this morning, everything is too warm and even if any snow had fallen here (which it didn't) nothing would have stuck.

Didn't even see rain here, looks like it was all drizzle.

Looks like the record for fewest 32 degree or lower mins for January will also fall.

The split today was 49/34 and the temperature isn't projected to reach 32 until 2 AM tomorrow so it looks like 3 days of 32 or lower mins is going to be the new record, along with the warmest January on record.

Projected avg mean is 43.5

Bridgeport, Islip, New York City (Central Park, JFK Airport, and LaGuardia Airport), and Newark are concluding their warmest January on record. Nevertheless, colder air began pressing into the region before sunsrise today, accompanied by rain, sleet, and snow showers.

Parts of the region picked up a few tenths of an inch of snow, but not Central Park. As a result, Central Park's measurable snow drought has now reached 328 days, which ranks as the second longest such stretch on record.

Overnight into tomorrow morning, a weak disturbance passing to the south of the region could bring a period of light snow to parts of the area, especially south and east of New York City. There is a possibility that New York City could pick up a few tenths of an inch of snow bringing an end to the measurable snow drought. That outcome is not assured. In the wake of the system, a near seasonably cold day will follow.

A cooler than normal first week of February in what will likely be a warmer than normal month overall now lies ahead. The developing cool period will be highlighted by a brief Arctic blast. Saturday could be the coldest day with the temperature rising only into the upper teens and lower 20s during the daytime after a morning low in the single digits in New York City and possibly below zero outside the City.

Afterward, moderation will rapidly commence. The potential exists for temperatures to run above to much above normal through mid-month. Both the CFSv2 and EPS weeklies show much above normal temperatures for the second week of February.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.2°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.6°C for the week centered around January 25. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.32°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.70°C. La Niña conditions are beginning to fade and they should evolve to neutral conditions during late winter or early spring.

The SOI was +6.22 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +1.476 today.

On January 29 the MJO was in Phase 3 at an amplitude of 2.458 (RMM). The January 28-adjusted amplitude was 2.312 (RMM).

Now they're saying the high was 50 at NYC, so it's the 4th straight day to hit 50 and that closes out the month.
