First day that it's felt like summer since ...I don't know when.
-
I'm aware of that but the official start of summer is June 21st unless something has changed that I'm unaware of. Also, there's no way you can sell me on September being a fall month. It can be argued that we get more summer weather in September than June especially in the last few decades. September might be considered meteorological fall but the weather doesn't vibe with that.
-
No, not technically.
-
It's actually a bit chilly this morning. This spring feels like The Ice Age compared to the last 10 years and it's not too far off from the old normal.
-
Yeah, I work in the MetLife building right above Grand Central which has been remodeled a bunch of times and it's still not enough to keep the smell out. I actually feel a little light headed and I'm as healthy as anybody.
-
I now smell the smoke at work, INSIDE the building. The end is near folks.
-
Same here. Got home from work at around 6:30 and didn't smell anything then went out at around 8 and it smelled like a giant campfire. It felt and looked like the end of days out there.
-
Because this is normal late April weather and 90s isn't. This shouldn't be surprising to anybody.
-
I'm all for a warm spring but it's too early for summer, feels gross today.
-
That's fair but I do think some did buy in somewhat. I see a Nam run and I laugh or just ignore it.
-
I can't believe how many people fell for the Nam, even some vet posters. Nam runs are nothing more than banter trash.

Well, the people that live near NYC and central Jersey don't care about what happens in somebody else's backyard with all due respect. In any event, everything needs to align perfectly for those near the coast to see anything significant this time of year and this storm is no different. As usual in March, you guys up in Orange are in a much better spot.
-
Yep. March 2018 had a far more favorable pattern (historic) and while the areas immediately around the city cashed in with some decent totals, it was mostly white rain even in my area of northeast Queens which is one of the colder sectors of the city. Unless it's a huge storm in a favorable position, I find it very difficult to get excited about mid March snow. Moderate events aren't getting it done around here.
-
March 2018 was the biggest tease of my lifetime. As you said, in the immediate metro we barely missed the historic snow in every direction. It was still a good month by March standards but it was really just one big giant tease. With that said, I'd take March 2018 in a heartbeat right now.
-
This isn't even worth breaking the futility record. It snowed nicely for an hour or two then a big mix of crap since. Maybe an inch and a half here.
-
Snow came in like a wall in Whitestone. Now starting to stick to everything.
-
A lot of the better ones have too. It's been a very feast or famine snow climate in the last 30 years.
-
Why would I make that up? It was the warmest January on record. Maybe you wear heavy coats when it's in the 40s and 50s, I don't. In any event, it's 6 here and feels every bit of it. Kind of amazing that this will be a 12 hour cold snap basically then back to March weather for the foreseeable future.
-
First time I had the winter coat on since December and possibly for the last time this season after tomorrow. It was nice to have a sense of normalcy for 24 hours until the furnace turns back on.
-
Usually yes, in this winter it's like a 2 foot blizzard.
-
Funny, or not so funny, that the majority of this "cold" stretch coming up will be what used to be known as "normal" for this time of year. It'll probably feel cold Tuesday-Thursday because we've had March weather most of January but in reality, it's just normal January weather (old normal I should say).
-
As a Detroit Lions fan, this is the story of my life. Even the Lions performed better than Winter '22-'23 this season, not a good look Winter '22-'23.
-
Just got caught out in a thunderstorm. (Checks Calendar) What?
-
I actually liked '14-'15 more. Consistent snowfall Jan-March with prolonged cold and snowcover. Probably the closest thing to a wall to wall winter that I've witnessed in my lifetime here.
-
A 10+ inch winter is not a futility record and it was more poking fun at that poster who has been downplaying storms and cancelling winter for two decades. I remember as far back as PDII in '03, as a lurker, when he was crying out bust at the onset of that storm when it was lightly snowing for many hours before the heavier stuff arrived. That worked out well for him.
