I actually try my best not to swear in my normal conversation but I can't take this sh!t. When you look at Mikes data on temperatures in the weather stats page this current crap we're subjected to just makes me sick. Banter I know but 20 months in a row? When do we break this pattern? I know our climate is getting warmer, undeniable for whatever reason, but once in while we should have a below normal month.

Getting into the 70s despite lots of clouds and some rain is remarkable on March 1st. Imagine if we get some unexpected breaks of sun for a while.
How valid is "normal" when we never get on the other side of it? Will this uninterrupted stretch get to 2 yrs?
However, we've been lucky we still managed to get decent snow. Chicago has had basically nothing since Dec. Breaking a met winter record of 66 consecutive days without a inch of snow and counting. DC has 1.4" of snow this winter. Philly has 8" We got storms to coincide with transient cold, others haven't been so lucky.

I did not realize Chicago has had a crappy winter. I bet areas to their N&W have over 50 inches.

The Yankee replay game from April 9, 1996 is on yes right now. Snowing throughout the game starting to get heavy later in the game. What a great end that was to a great snow season. I believe Long Island got about 10-12 inches from that storm.

In the fourth inning now snow was starting to accumulate around home plate so funny to watch

Looking at the high/low temperatures for the first 27 days of February and seeing how it is currently 49 degrees at CPK, unless the temperature makes a quick and unexpected drop to 15 degrees within the next 23 hours, February 2017 will go down as the warmest February on record. If the high/low for 2/28 is 60/45, then the mean temperature will be 41.6, crushing February 2012's mean temperature of 40.9.

This has been a really rough May with the thunderstorms.

Feb 2017 will likely go down as warmest on record for 5 out of 6 climate sites. See what's needed today to break the record nearest you! pic.twitter.com/EYixEhFfIW

This is awesome. You should tell him to split screen this with the 500 and 250mb progression.

by **dkodgis** Tue Feb 28, 2017 9:57 pm

What I noticed from the last storm was the power outages, the downed trees, and the winds. So if tomorrow's action packs more of a wallop, I think there will be more of the same. It seems surprising to see storms like this and of this intensity in Feb. I do not recall seeing the atmosphere energizing this way so early on. April or May, yes. Feb is too early yet it is happening.

51° at almost midnight in February... oy

Closing the books on Feb.
Avg temp, departure, and rounded avg high/low for the month.
Note that the avg low temp is above freezing for all NYC stations and Newark.

NYC 41.6, +6.3, 49/35
LGA 42.8, +7.5, 50/36
JFK 40.3, +5.5, 48/33
EWR 41.6, +7.0, 50/33

ISP 37.8, +5.0, 46/29
HPN 37.6, +6.7, 46/29
BDP 38.4, +6.0, 46/31

Actually for every month of meteorological winter the avg low temp in Central Park has been above freezing.
Dec: 44/33
Jan: 43/33
Feb 49/35 (Hasn't been at or below freezing since Feb 17th)

I counted 35 days during met winter with low temps at/below freezing. (Dec: 11, Jan: 12, Feb: 12) I believe that's close to a record.

I believe it was also the warmest February on record at all locations except one, not sure which?

Dtone: Where do you find the White Plains stats (HPN)?

Yeah i forgot to mention that. Warmest feb everywhere except Islip.
You can extend that warmest feb up and down I 95 corridor.

I found white plains on NWS site, in NOWdata tab. HPN isnt the best, sometimes they are slow to update data, but it fills a gap in the region.

Might see some flakes tomorrow!! As Mugsy said, March Madness at it's best after 70 degrees a few days ago!! I know I repeat myself on this but it always brings to mind the stories of those people in Central Park on blankets in the warm sun a few days before the Blizzard of 1888!

LOL, senior moment! It's friggin MARCH.
