I now remember we (NYC) just missed out on the coldest January by a bit falling only behind the bitter January of 1918. Wow, Philly crushed it getting to first place...hold my beer type of a record. Incomprehensible we could get something like that today. Two questions if you have time. What were temperature departures like for February 1977. I distinctly remember walking the 2 miles home from school and sweating at some point during that February. What was the seasonal snow total for that winter. I just remember one storm of note but I do remember what fell just kept building up because nothing melted for December and January. Thanks! 1917-1918 was a far superior winter to 1976-77 both in terms of extreme temps and snowfall, 1976-77 would have driven most of us crazy with dry and cold.

LibertyBell Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 6 hours ago, bluewave said: Yeah, 76-77 was the last top 10 coldest winter in NYC going back to around 1870. Places with a shorter period of record like HPN and ISP were the coldest. Was actually the coldest winter at Philly going back to 1875. Was the 3rd coldest Dec-Jan in NYC.

I just remember sweating on several days and thinking it was remarkable after the bitter January. April 1976 had the 3 day heatwave at Easter when it hit I believe 96 in the park on Easter Sunday. Was a dry heat though. April 1976 was matched by April 2002, I loved that dry heat, the sky was as blue as I've ever seen it. We also hit 90 in April 1977. 1977 had one of the top heatwaves on record (along with 1954 and 1993). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANDA Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Latest Drought Monitor released this morning shows abnormally dry conditions have expanded over the Northeast. Notably over SNJ into SEPA and over southeast Maryland. Hopefully the upcoming rainfall over the next week moistens things up. Moisture over the Winter was adequate for most locations but certainly not excessive. We're not exactly going into the warm season overly wet, at least as of right now.

donsutherland1 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 A frontal system extended across the northern Mid-Atlantic region today. The front separated mild air from exceptionally warm air. At Bridgeport, the temperature remained in the 50s. At Washington, DC, the mercury soared to 81°. Tomorrow will be another mild day albeit somewhat cooler than today. A storm will then bring a cold rain to the region to start the weekend. April could start on a cool, but not necessarily exceptionally cold note. As has been the case throughout the winter and early part of spring, the coldest air will likely remain in western and central North America. Historic experience with very low snowfall totals through February argues that a very snowy March or big snowstorm during March or April are unlikely. There were 16 winters that had less than 8" of snowfall through February in New York City. Just two (13%) had a 6" or greater snowstorm during March or April: 1889-1890: 6.0" on March 19th and 1991-1992: 6.2" on March 19th. With just 2.3" snowfall through March 19, New York City is now very likely to finish the season with less than 10" of snow. Since 1869-70, all 10 winters with less than 8.5" of snow through March 19th wound up with less than 10" of seasonal snowfall. New York City is currently on a path that could culminate in its setting a new record for lowest seasonal snowfall. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +1.4°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.1°C for the week centered around March 15. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.98°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.26°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely prevail through at least mid-spring. The SOI was +1.44 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +2.133 today. On March 21 the MJO was in Phase 2 at an amplitude of 1.730 (RMM). The March 20-adjusted amplitude was 1.850 (RMM). Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 88% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal March (1991-2020 normal). March will likely finish with a mean temperature near 44.1° (1.3° above normal normal). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 New York City has the lowest seasonal snowfall to date through March 23rd. Based on continuing ensemble guidance, there is little credible support for a late-season snowstorm in the New York City area. Instead, consistent with the very low snow cases through March 23rd, most or all of the snowfall this season is likely done. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mid January 2004 pure fluff clipper with 8” in the single digits is the coldest snowstorm I can remember. that was the one with the pink morning snow and 40:1 ratios!

donsutherland1 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Morning thoughts… It will be mostly cloudy and somewhat cooler. Periods of rain are possible in parts of the region, especially Philadelphia. High temperatures will reach the lower 50s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include: New York City (Central Park): 62° Newark: 65° Philadelphia: 66° Tomorrow will feature periods of rain and cool temperatures. Normals: New York City: 30-Year: 52.5°; 15-Year: 53.2° Newark: 30-Year: 53.5°; 15-Year: 54.4° Philadelphia: 30-Year: 55.6°; 15-Year: 56.3° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snowfall total was nearly twice that of any other storm of modern record in Kansas City before or since that time. A record 40 inches of snow fell during the month of March that year, and the total for the winter season of 67 inches was also a record. By late February of that year Kansas City had received just six inches of snow. Olathe KS received 37 inches of snow in the snowstorm, establishing a single storm record for the state of Kansas. (23rd-24th) (The Kansas City Weather Almanac) (The Weather Channel) 1929: St. Louis, Missouri soared to 92 degrees; their all-time record high for March. 1987 - A winter-like storm in the central U.S. produced blizzard conditions from South Dakota to western Kansas. Snowfall totals ranged up to 24 inches at Neligh NE, with 19 inches at Winner SD. Winds gusting to 60 mph created twelve foot snow drifts in Nebraska stranding thousands on the highways. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1988 - Thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced severe weather from Minnesota to northeastern Texas. The thunderstorms spawned ten tornadoes, including one which injured five persons near Raymondville MO. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1989 - Low pressure off the coast of Virginia brought heavy rain to the Middle Atlantic Coast States, and heavy snow to the Northern Appalachians. Cape Hatteras NC was soaked with 5.20 inches of rain in 24 hours, and snowfall totals in Vermont ranged up to 12 inches. Winds gusted to 52 mph at New York City. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1990 - The storm system which produced heavy snow in the Lower Missouri Valley the previous day, spread heavy snow across parts of the Upper Ohio Valley and the Middle Atlantic Coast Region. Snowfall totals of 2.2 inches at Philadelphia PA and 2.4 inches at Atlantic City NJ were records for the date. Up to six inches of snow blanketed southern Ohio. In the Middle Atlantic Coast Region, snow coated the blossoms of cherry trees which had bloomed in 80 degree weather the previous week.
