April Obs & Discussion

Why are we getting all this now as one is asking scratching their heads - collapsing nino (Finally) and the PDO still holding strong - warm water off teh WC - pumping the EPO and thus the feedback is causing the AO or PV to dive SE this time of year and help pump block or the heights to rise over Greenland. This is what was thought to occur a couple of month ago with a dying nino and this feedback loop process but guess what - NADA!! So here we have it and my expectation is cold and wintry for this week and into the weekend. This cold air coming in woudl have rivaled the below zero temps we had in Feb if it were during that or earlier time frame

1.2 has an uptick yes but it is collapsing overall







RAGING PDO - since 2013 peeps

I'm concerned about black ice tonight here in NNJ. Rain all day today and temps in the 20's overnight does not sit well with me....

chilly raw rainy day it has snowed and sleet early i wonder if central park will go down near or break a record low of 24 deg set back in 1964.

What a miserable April day spent most of the day in the thirties with moderate rain a lot of places in Connecticut upstate New York and New England have six inches of snow

From another board, Poughkeepsie 7.2" of white gold wow, they've recieved 9.7" in the last two days all of Nov thru March they recieved 7" amazing the winter that never ceases to amaze.

I wonder how accurate that is. I live 10 miles north of Poughkeepsie and received 6.5 from both storms combined.

Cloudy and cold currently 28 deg with a real feel of 15 deg

There is a NWS official reporting station at Poughkeepsie but it only reports temperature and precipitation not snow totals. There was a time in years past that they did report snow totals but the reports were so poor for so long, historic under measurements worse than the zoo, that they stopped several years ago.

16 degrees, frigid. Goodbye flowering trees, let this be a lesson, don't bloom 5 weeks early next year.

Yes, CP, I remember the poor measurements and it used to drive me crazy. That 7.2 measurement for yesterdays storm seems a little high IMO. I'm a spotter for NWS Albany and I measured a total of 4 and all other obs in Dutchess county were generally 4 to 5 with the highest amounts in the northern part of the county.

22* here this morning - brrrrrrrr!!
And the sentiment rings through - where was this in Dec??Feb?/ Morch??

Oh, I know mugs, I just think he may have embellished a bit but even 6-7 inches is still pretty good for the 2 systems. Whatever the exact totals it was still nice to get some decent snows for the first time this winter season up here. LGR

The cold aint done with us yet sorry peeps - this weekend thru tax day looks to be cold and BN as well with snow chance(s).

AO drops - 4/10 -11 looks to be the coldest time frame.
