Even in the 2000s there were several days with highs stuck in the teens Those were the days with extended December cold when we could get the whole month averaging around 32°. Now all our Decembers are in the upper 30s or the 40s. While we did get some real cold before Christmas 2022 with the NYC single digit lows, there was near 60° warmth before and after so the month on average was still 38.5°.

the_other_guy Posted December 12 Share Posted December 12 December’s have warmed dramatically, but let’s not pretend that highs in the teens or lows in the single digits were normal in December at any point. that was extreme even 30 years ago. The problem here is something that blue wave has pointed to. At least for new normals our December is gonna be pretty average… but these storms seem to keep cutting west of us and allowing warm air to come every time precipitation arrives. If we had snow yesterday and three days in the 30s, you would say what a December this is. But we had rain yesterday and three days in the 30s and then we’re gonna have rain again over the weekend and more cold day behind it. This is a pattern that’s been in place for at least 10 years now. It’s a big problem if you want snow. it was masked in the 2010s because we kept getting these one off big storms that made a month or winter.

Yeah our average December snowfall prior to 2000 was like 2.6". We're just reverting back to that 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO812 Posted December 12 Share Posted December 12 Finally a weenie storm on the gfs. That timeframe is the one to watch since all the models have some type of storm. They are also showing plenty of cold air around with a stout ridge out west. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The northern stream piece coming through the upper plains is problematic for areas North of the city because it forces the ULL East prematurely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a pattern that’s been in place for at least 10 years now. It’s a big problem if you want snow. Between 09-10 and 17-18 the Pacific Jet was much weaker. So we didn’t get the constant parade of storms cutting through the Great Lakes and hugging the coast that has been dominant since 18-19. When the Pacific Jet was weaker, we could get even get cold storm tracks in warm patterns. Meaning the Pacific was able to relax enough to allow a clean benchmark track with no weak lows over the Lakes. These days even benchmark tracks can have a weak low over the Lakes which warms the airmass too much ahead of the low pressure formation to our Southeast. Now we get warm storm tracks even during shorter cold intervals like we had in early December. Warm up ahead of the storm and cool down behind. The reason the snowfall has been so low in the 2020s is that we are getting both warm winters and warm storm tracks. Much stronger Pacific Jet since 18-19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I said a storm signal is there for the week of Christmas. There will be cold air around . Just have to see the track of the possible storm.
