You know what would serve these global warming boobs right? A nice mild summer. I would love it:)
You are in New York, aren't you? If so, what is the forecast for 10 - 16 time frame? My daughter is going there for spring break and what we've seen, it will be cold.
In the minus 20s Celsius up here with a wind chill last night that made it feel like -35. Not the coldest I've experienced. I remember '78 being far up north near Algonquin park -54 celsius, that'll give you an icicle you know where.
Why would anyone in their right mind go TO NY for spring break?!?! Nobody stays here unless they can't afford to go away.
Here's the long range forecast for Syracuse. It's in the middle of the state and pretty much average.

Bring it on.
She is on a free trip with her business school to visit the NYSE during spring break. They are visiting the exchange to learn about stock trading.
YIPES!! That's not good.
Ummmm, that's pretty average.
BTW, I have found that the long range forecasts tend not to be real accurate and if they're predicting way off average, either hoter or colder, then by the time we get to that 2 weeks from now, it's more moderate. The only time I trust the extreme temperature predictions is when it's for the next day or two.
NYC is typically 10 degrees warmer. Try the long range forecast for somewhere in NYC.
Lots of links here

Cut-and-paste version follows ...
The weather story that’s not topping the news
Updating my mid-February post: Coldest. February. Ever.
Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette: “City endures third-coldest February”
Toledo Blade: “February is ranked as city’s 6th-coldest”
Muncie Star-Press: “This February was coldest, snowiest in decades”
Youngstown Vindicator: “February made us shiver with near record lows, lots of snow”
Toronto Star: “February was the coldest in 28 years . . .”
570 News (Canada): “The University of Waterloo Weather Station says it’s the coldest February they have ever tracked.”
Roanoke Times: “We may be living in cold, historic times . . . If the month had ended Monday, this would be the coldest February on record at Roanoke, edging out the only other two Februarys with an average temperature below 30 degrees — February 1978 (29.5 degrees) and February 1979 ( 29.3 degrees).”
Ag Web.com: “FEBRUARY SUMMARY: It was the coldest February since at least 1989 (18 years) and possibly 1979 for the nation as a whole, and the month is expected to rank between the 8th and 15th coldest in 113 years of national records. National precipitation trended up 134% over last year with snowfall up 60% over last year. Tornadoes and severe weather were also up with 89 during the month vs only 12 last year. Gasoline prices trended up 6% vs last year and were at the highest levels since middle September.”
Chicago Tribune: “9th coldest February in 137 years; 4th snowiest since 1929.”
Indianapolis Star: “The rising temperatures will be a sharp contrast to the bitter cold Hoosiers experienced during February, which was among the five coldest and snowiest months ever recorded for the metro area.”
Philadelphia Inquirer: “Capping one of the most radical winter flip-flops on record, the region has just endured its coldest February since Jimmy Carter was president and Frank Rizzo was Philadelphia’s mayor.”
Aberdeen American News: “It is likely February 2007 will end up being the second coldest February on record.”
Meanwhile, Bloomberg reported: “South Korea Has Warmest Winter in 100 Years on Global Warming”
They have politicized the weather. None of the coldest February stories mention climate.
Cr@p! You'd have to go up 92 degrees just to get to freezing!!!
