The Science Behind NYC’s Severe Snow Storm: Arctic Air, Atlantic Winds and a Historic Nor’easter
NYC Snow Storm: The snowstorm that recently struck New York City was far from an ordinary winter event, as it was driven by an unusual and powerful combination of atmospheric conditions. Millions of city residents in the New York area and the Northeast are under mandatory road travel restrictions as a strong blizzard moves through the area.
In the New York City area, a travel ban has been issued for all non-emergency travel until noon Monday, while similar bans have been issued in Rhode Island and New Jersey. Emergency alerts were issued to cell phones warning of dangerous blizzard conditions, while Mayor Zohran Mamdani has declared Monday a serious snow day, canceling all public school classes. (snipping all the way to the end)
Although experts warn that individual storms cannot be specifically attributed to climate change, scientists have observed that warmer ocean temperatures can lead to more intense storms as a result of increased moisture. When this increased moisture interacts with cold air, snowfall can become heavier and more hazardous. This particular storm demonstrated how warmer Atlantic waters and intense Arctic air outbreaks can combine to create more extreme winter weather events.
New York City’s intense snowstorm was the result of a unique combination of weather factors, including heavy Arctic cold, strong Atlantic winds, and a slow-moving nor’easter that fed on ocean moisture. Taken together, these factors made it one of the most serious winter storms to hit New York City in years.
Sigh. They really can’t help themselves. Was the Great Blizzard Of 1888 caused by ‘climate change’? The photo above is from then. More here.
Brian Krassenstein tried one, but, I guess he was getting to abused to keep it up. Not just because of the ‘climate change’ crap, but, saying that it was 65 mph winds prior to the 11am time frame he posted at for Plymouth, Mass was utterly wrong. Winds were hitting around 55 mph gusts around 1-4. This is what he posted
It’s impressive, but, no weather station recorded anything close to that at 6am. Anyhow
The cut off wind speed for NJs wind turbines is 55mph.
That is not a significant decrease in annular power generation
“When the chips are down” lol he means only that 0.02,?% of the time when winds are over t5 mph.
Notice there is no mention of how many actual hours were involved
Hey, Punxsutawney Phil predicted six more weeks of winter, and after a fairly warm week, he had to get things back on track to make his forecast come true.
Teach what do you think were the causes of this extreme weather event? Or do you think that there are no causes, that events like this or the 2988 storm just happen at random times?
