Really? And the Aqueduct and Yonkers slot parlors are "classy?" AC has come a long way, and it's trying to rebrand itself as the storied destination it used to be. It does have a bit of the feel of NY in the 70s, yes--but there are many outposts of famous New York restaurants, luxury hotels , and even the old neighborhoods have some great spots like Tony's Baltimore Grill, Docks Oyster House, Knife and Fork Inn, Mancuso's Fairmount Tavern and Angeloni's II.

Never said those places we're classy. We need a nice place like a Foxwoods or something.

Tim,

Took some shots around Monmouth County today, basically confirms what you're saying. Predominately bare, red maple buds out, fruit trees in bloom - bradford pears, magnolias, cherry blossoms. Only species with leaves is the crabapple.

Still a solid 3 weeks ahead of schedule, but no big leaf out for east central NJ. Significant difference from SE PA, where they're about 4-5 weeks ahead of schedule, with forest trees starting to leaf out.

For Monmouth I'd say it looks like about the middle of April. Grass is already long and needs a 1st cut.

NAM temps for Tuesday morning.

Into the 20's for the city:

NYC looks to be around -10C 850s on Tuesday 0z, according to the 18z GFS. That should be enough for them to get below freezing...NWS has 32F in Central Park and 29F here. It's almost certain that the outlying suburbs will record a hard freeze, which may damage some of the ornamental species, but it looks to be close for the City itself, not enough for widespread harm to the early vegetation.

Except not. In case you haven't noticed, we are entering the warm season. Avg high going in to April 1 in NYC is 56F. With basically no snow within 500+ miles of NYC, any cold air that reaches us will be moderated significantly.

Winter is over. Deal.

Pazzo is upset because he's risking busting again on NYC's last freeze. He told us after the freeze on 3/10 that KNYC would not see another night at 32F or lower. With -10 to -12C 850s coming in, it is quite probable that the Park scrapes the freezing mark. Pazzo showed this same bias towards overestimating warm spells against climatology last year...he said that NYC wouldn't drop significantly below freezing after March 8th because Mar 2011 also had a mid-month warm spell. (The Park hit 77F on the 3/18/11). However, here were the dailies once the -NAO block came roaring back:

3/24: 44/30

3:25: 42/28

3/26: 40/26

3/27: 45/28

3/28: 45/26

3/29: 49/31

6 straight nights below freezing after the growing season had been declared started by Pazzo. Are we heading down the same road?

My guess is that the closer to normal temperatures for early April will last as long as the EPO stays negative.

It's amazing how the +EPO has stayed locked in. So it's no surprise that it's finally taking a breather but for

how long?

we all knew this would happen, warmth early, then cold and dreary for spring...2012 FTL
