Volcanic Winter Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Boxing Day is still my favorite of all time. Dropped mid 20’s in North Brunswick where I lived at the time and about the same where I live now. The perfect coastal snowstorm IMHO. But that one skunked far more people than any of the other major historic storms so I understand why it’s not as universally beloved. And honestly Dec 09 was epic for me too, lived in Long Branch and got absolutely clobbered there. Vivid memories of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the 97/98 super Nino did the same in ushering in the snowy 2000/2010s? Or perhaps another event?

Tough to say since the baseline on the warming is so much higher now than it was back in 02-03. Plus the last El Niño in 18-19 wasn’t able to couple. It was just like getting a La Niña since the WPAC warm pool was so strong. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy is always possible provided the Pacific cooperates and lines up with a -NAO -AO. But we are yet to have a colder winter after 8 seasons. Not even sure what it would take to get a colder winter. The snowy 20-21 had a favorable Atlantic and Pacific but above average temperatures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWCCraig Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 High of 69 and dropping now with increasing clouds and a sea breeze, so I've never got into the 70's but glad to see ISP's record fall.

Gravity Wave Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 The struggle to reach 70 today just makes the 80 from February 2018 even more impressive. Easily the most incredible temperature event I've personally experienced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
