MANDA Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Winds howled here all night. Just ripping at times. Must have been some heavier snow squalls overnight as well. Patches of snow scattered around and on sheltered rooftops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volcanic Winter Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Really fascinating paper on the winter of 76-77, the last time the Chesapeake froze. Has some maps from other cold 20th century winters.

TJW014 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Balsam Lake Mountain from yesterday. Was expecting 5-8" up top (3723 FT) but instead was surprised with about 0.75" of freezing rain and an inch of snow on top. Wind was no joke. Throughout the whole hike could hear branches snapping with each gust. This picture at the fire tower I am crouched down holding on for dear life. Impossible to stand straight up. Probably 50-60 mph gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good read: http://nwafiles.nwas.org/digest/papers/1977/Vol02No4/1977v002no04-Wagner.pdf That was the only winter that I experienced which could be compared to the little ice age before the global temperatures took off like a rocket after 1980. Walking to the school bus stop was quite an experience. It was the last time NYC had a top 10 coldest winter averaging in the 20s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batmansascientist Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 2 hours ago, donsutherland1 said: March 1-10, 2024 was the second warmest such period on record in New York City. It was also the wettest such period on record with 4.57" of precipitation (old record: 3.65", 2018). I was tracking this, and as far as I can tell, it's the only time that we've had even top 5 for wettest month and warmest month for first 10 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walking to the school bus stop was quite an experience. It was the last time NYC had a top 10 coldest winter averaging in the 20s. Yeah I can’t even imagine, that does appear to have been a close facsimile of a LIA winter. If a similar pattern regime were to happen today, how modified do you think the airmass would be? Would think it’d still be significantly colder than any recent winter just not to the level of 76-77. I do think we’re more than due for a winter with a colder pattern locking into the east, but perhaps the Pac temp regimes are unsupportive of such a thing happening, and who knows when that will change. I’’m at the bargaining stage. Just give me one extended, relative “cold” winter compared to this post 2016 hothouse phase and I’ll be satisfied.

That's the same peak gust Muttontown has gotten as well so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
