The main difference was that 2010 stayed cold the whole month with no moderation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly and I see absolutely no comparison whatsoever to December, 2010. That was driven by severe AO/NAO blocking and a poleward Aleutian ridge.

The extended EPS is already backing off the cold it was showing for the 9th through 16th. This has been typical December local climatology with the usual warm up as we approach the solstice and Christmas. New run closer to average December 9th through 16th Old run was colder Longer term December temperature trends cooler to start and warming up as we approach the solstice and holidays 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eduggs Posted Sunday at 04:33 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:33 PM 12z GFS is pretty interesting around the 10th. That would probably work. But it's a long way off and too much run-to-run variability to have any confidence. The threat for the 8th keeps decreasing in likelihood. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted Sunday at 05:09 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:09 PM 7 minutes ago, NEG NAO said: agree and not on the "Heat Island" The heat island doesn’t have anything to do with it since it’s air mass related and not UHI related. The heat island effect has been constant in NYC for a long time. The outlying areas haven’t any any similarly cold Decembers since 2010 either. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted Sunday at 05:33 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:33 PM Back during winter 2022-2023, I posted some information concerning how a warming climate might affect seasonal snowfall in New York City. Based on the experience of cities south of New York City, by the mid-2030s, seasonal snowfall (30-season average) could reach or fall below 20" per season. It is still too soon to be sure whether the two most recent relatively snowless winters are part of the early stages of a transition to a less snowy future. Even in a less snowy future, periodic snowy winters remain likely. Looking further into the matter, it seems that some locations, including Philadelphia and Washington, DC have seen a temporary increase in seasonal snowfall as the mean winter temperature approached and then exceeded 36.0°. That outcome is probably the result of an increase in moisture exceeding the consequences of a warming climate where bigger snowstorms skew seasonal averages. A larger initial secondary increase in snowfall is likely farther north than Washington, DC or Philadelphia, as New York City (and also Boston) are closer to sources of sufficiently cold air. Eventually, the warmth more than offset the gains resulting from increased moisture. Below are the current charts for both New York City and Washington, DC: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any physical evidence that this should be considered a norm for the second half of December? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
