And so begins the month we can't stop talking about: December!

This is how the December 2015 thread began: With an ironic post from Janet.

December 2016 Observations & Discussions Njstro10

Last December ended 13.3 degrees above average: 50.8, beating the old record of 44.1 in December 2001.  29 out of 31 days were at least 5 degrees above average.  And the other two were a couple of degrees above average.  The entire month came and went without a freezing temperature in NYC.

A month ago, Frank pledged this:

I don't think we'll see a big cold shot outside of something transient mid-month.

I posted this a few weeks ago and it is slightly modified based on error corrections.  You can visit the thread for details but these are some NYC December statistics since 1950.

May the odds be ever on our favor for some old-fashioned cold in time for Christmas!

If we are all outside on Dec 25 in polo shirts and barbequing on the deck with 70 degree weather, I think anyone will say global warming is real (even skeptics).

I'm betting this December will make it 18 months in a row of above normal temperatures but it can't possibly be worse than last December when the average temperature was a few degrees from a normal April. At least I hope it can't.

Sneaky snow threat for Sunday night into Monday is gaining traction Wink Wink Wink Had a feeling it would. Wintry mix event for Tuesday-Wednesday also is looking likely based on the large-scale pattern. If trends with the first system hold today, I'm going to issue a first call map for it hehe

Started a thread for Monday. Another thread may be started for Wednesday, but right now, models are too warm. The High to the north is too weak and the southerly flow of mild air overpowers potential CAD.

Well, the first four days of December are without question "cooler" than the first four days of last December.

Now, this has been brought up by CP that the last 17 months at CPK have averaged above normal.  Well what I just did was take a look at what was the warmest year on record in NYC, 2012, and examined it in further detail.  The NWS simply takes the average of the months and rounds it to the nearest tenth of a degree.  While it will say it averaged 57.3, I took the sum of the highs and lows of every day that year, and when you average them out, it actually comes out to ~57.27596.  Summing up the temperatures from every day this year through November, if the December average temperature is at least ~39.0484 degrees, than statistically, 2016 will overtake 2012 as the warmest year on record in NYC, even if Upton says it's a tie.

Ice rink up yesterday - last three years I put them up before the Arctic thump - my neighbor swears this is real early and said are you sure? I said next weekend 12-9ish i'll be skating on this 18'x40' sucker - they looked at me bewildered!

Okay N & W again Tomorrow - this one could be the same for N&W as we have a LP sliding off the NJ Coast. May start a thread.

Hi,Oldtimer, yeah, the last few weeks have been a classic "more snow N and W of the City" type scenarios like back in the 50's and 60's.Brings to mind December 1966 when we visited my Uncles farm up in Westtown NY. right near High Point.We in Fort Lee maybe had a slushy inch or two on the ground while my Uncle had over 24 inches with constant snow showers, blowing and drifting.Yep, that's the way it used to be.Anyway, don't lose hope, the trends these days have been favoring you.look at last January's blizzard, I only got 10 inches,lol.
