Just saw the new movie, "Promised Land". Very great movie, hopefully it raises concern for people who aren't familiar with the topic of fracking.

« on: January 04, 2013, 02:15:51 PM »... 2012 was the warmest year on record at Central Park NY...
... Other locations across the area had record breaking warmth as
well...
For the year of 2012... Central Park NY (nyc) recorded an average
temperature of 57.3 degrees. This breaks the record for the warmest
year on record. The previous record was 57.2 degrees... recorded in
the years of 1990... 1991 and 1998. Records for Central Park date
back to 1869.
A Sample of other first order climate locations reveals they also
came in with record breaking warmth. Here is that data.
Average temperature records and normals from 2012:
Station 2012 ranking previous record normal value departure
NYC 57.3 1 57.2 1990/91/98 55.0 2.3
LGA 58.5 tied(1) 58.5 2006 55.5 3.0
JFK 57.0 1 56.2 1991 54.5 2.5
Ewr 57.8 1 57.6 1990 54.9 2.9
Isp 55.3 1 55.0 1998 52.3 3.0
Bdr 55.6 1 54.3 1991/2010 52.5 3.1
Regarding precipitation... the area was generally drier than average.
Precipitation amounts and normals.
Station 2012 normal value departure last year value
NYC 38.51 49.94 -11.43 72.81
LGA 36.71 44.73 -8.02 65.34
JFK 39.85 42.77 -2.92 55.78
Ewr 36.35 46.25 -9.90 69.91
Isp 44.71 46.24 -1.53 52.32
Bdr 40.99 42.74 -1.75 57.88
As you can see... Central Park NY was quite dry. However... none of
these locations broke into the top 10 list for precipitation.
Regarding snowfall... data is usually calculated from July to July...
not calendar year.

This will be the coldest night of the season so far. GFS like the idea of torching us next weekend (1/12-1/13). Temps could be in the low 60's once again. Heck I'll take it with this lack of snow.

Neat! It'll be interesting knowing the conditions in your area, especially since I like studying the weather not only here, but elsewhere. I also have a PWS of my own, I'm sure you and many others know. Does any else have a PWS?

29.7°F Clear/Windy
Coating of snow on the ground. And I think my wind anemometer is stuck on NW.
The rain yesterday must have got into it and overnight it froze it, so it's stuck now. At least it's got the direction right.
