That’s interesting. I didn’t know that locations as close as Hartford and Albany had moved a few times.
I also think that your right, the urban heat island effect does play a bigger role than we might think. I’ve been to both Phoenix and Las Vegas over the years and there is so much more pavement and brick…etc. While Hartford, Bridgeport, even NYC might not have had anywhere near as much change in their sprawl, I would think there is still less woods around these cities than 50 or 100 years ago.

I also think that the data set is so short. It’s really imposable to get a handle on what ‘normal’ really is, especially in the lower middle latitudes like the Tri-State area (40 – 41 north). If we had 800- or 1200-years’ worth of NowData we might really know what normal is, I guess. If you look at this winter, while it has been quite warm, the data is only like 75 years long at NWS Bridgeport (1948 – 2022). Yesterday was a good example, it hit 68 F in Bridgeport and that was warm for February, but Bridgeport has been in the 60’s in February 15 times in just 75 years, and one of the highest readings was back in 1976 (67 F). As we move into March soon, the mean of 30 F above average seems to stay the same, except the temp goes up; Bridgeport has been in the 70's F in March 14 times (and 80's F once).

25-26th next "possibility" that'll be gone too probably.



Loop past 4hrs. I had some sleet mixing in with the passage of the Cold Front. 50s to 30s incoming.

GFS has a 6"+ snowstorm for us next Saturday.


IF this happens it wont be the least snowiest winter on record so you'll have to find something else that climate change was the reason for.

Not sure if you guys are following the disaster in Ohio with the controlled chemical burn killing fish but more importantly went into the air... apparently it affected Connecticut via rainfall

Not sure how anyone could say otherwise. Rains dont normally "smell" different. Its the only logical explanation.

Atmosphere was flowing towards us..

Gotta love a good cold front clearing the air. Who needs nasty summer humid air?
And I wonder if snow would of "washed" the atmosphere better than the acid rain.

Also... so it was in "bad" range??

"Connecticut officials report soot-like matter falling from sky
The matter was found on parked cars across CT

Connecticut environmental officials were monitoring reports Friday of sooty matter being found on parked cars throughout the state.

The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection said it was unclear what exactly was falling from the sky or why, but it had not led to unhealthy air quality.

Officials said there had been reports of moderate amounts of fine particles in the air from air-quality monitors in the Northeast from Washington, D.C., through New Jersey, western New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts.

The department said a cold front and rain Friday afternoon were expected to reduce those levels back into the "good" range.

The department said that air flow at 1,500 feet was following the Interstate 95 corridor northeast into New England"

Believe me, last thing they would say is "Bad air quality" if it were found to be the result of the Ohio burn all the way here in Connecticut, while they say say nothing to see here in Ohio....back to wearing a mask ?. Anyhow, not happy with this cold coming thru, can't complain about the overall season, we'll see how Saturday turns out

This should help you guys understand why its been warm for us. It's happening again this week..


Big snows for the West and Northern Plains coming again. They've had above normal/normal snowfall season. We can't always have that here, atmosphere is fluid, always changing. It's their turn now.

It's called a "SouthEast Ridge" when there is High pressure in the Southeast pumping warm air north.

Jet stream dipping in the West CANNOT and WILL NOT bring cold and snow to Northeast

Air is flowing from the south(warm) when the Jet stream lifts north.
Air is flowing from the north (cold) when Jet stream dips south.


Storm tracks follow along the Jet Steam, that's why countless of storms went from the plains towards Great Lakes, which means warm/rain for us when that happens.





Guess what happens in CT when this happens in the Southeast and the Jet stream is pumped north of us...


All this heat gets pushed north so we warm up.





This map is for today but it should continue with 40s and 50s across CT
