Yeah 53 degrees here today felt great with the strong late march sunshine. I went outside with a sweatshirt on, but quickly took it off and worked with just a t-shirt on. Tomorrow won't be as comfortable since it will be cloudy.

Time to get the gardening season started! Today I'm planting seeds (peas and radishes), and later in the week I'll plant lettuce and broccoli plants. I was hoping it would be a bit warmer today, but it's still a beautiful day. We've been spoiled by all the warm weather, so near normal early spring temps in the 50s feels chilly to us now. We have to get used to it since there's no sign of warm weather coming back for awhile. Looks like lots of high temps in the 50s ahead. Too bad it's looking like another super soaker for Thursday. Bad timing for the Mets home opener. I assume it'll be postponed until Friday.
-
Me too. Right now I'm sick and tired of these big soaking rainstorms, but during the summer I'll be right here you you and Stormlover rooting hard for our area to be hit by thunderstorms.
-
Low temp of 24 here. Horrible that we're looking at another big soaker on Saturday. I'm looking forward to Monday. Starting the vegetable garden that day and it looks like nice weather. Forecast is mid 50s, but with lots of sunshine I wouldn't be surprised if it's an overperformer with temps getting close to 60.
-
Too bad the idea of Tuesday being just a brief cool shot and then a quick warmup failed. Now it looks cool through the weekend, but thankfully next week looks warmer. Not a huge warmup like we had last week, but a decent one. We'll probably get back to 60s. I'm starting the garden with the cool season vegetables next week, so the warmer temps will be nice for the spring planting.

Impressive to be at 72 degrees here with the mostly cloudy skies.
-
76 degrees here! Perfect weather for spending a lot of time outside.
-
73 degrees here! Spectacular weather! Might be even a couple degrees warmer tomorrow. I'd love to have weather like this in late march when it's time to start the garden with cold tolerant vegetables, but it rarely works out that way. Still looks like a decent cold shot for the official start of spring. High temps probably mid-upper 40s next Tuesday-Wednesday, but it will be only a brief cold shot.

Ended up with 1.53" here.
-
Thankfully it looks like our last big soaking for awhile.
-
Figures that after a very warm winter, a cold shot will likely be coming in around the 19th for the official start of spring. But before then we could have temps in the 70s late next week, as bluewave pointed out.
-
19 inches here. Not bad considering how warm this winter was. We were very lucky.
-
We might actually get 6 dry days after Saturday's storm. Boy do we need a dry stretch.
-
1.10 here so far, but it's tapering off now (will add a little more later tonight). More heavy rain to the south and east, but you can see it's heading for Long Island. The models were correct to have the heavier amounts to the east, but still a good soaking here. About what was expected with a little over an inch.
-
East winds seem to be putting a cap on it though. Was 61 here earlier but now down to 58. Still an overperforming beautiful day.
-
Had a high temp of 69 here today. Spectacular weather ... a top 10 day of the year. I hope everyone enjoyed it since we have a rainy week coming up.
-
I'll gladly take snow through mid march, but then I don't want it anymore in late march when it's time to start gardening season. I do think a rainstorm is MUCH more likely for the NYC area due to the warm pattern. Hard to get a snowstorm heading into mid march without much cold air to work with. However march can be a crazy month, so we can't completely rule it out. Wouldn't be shocking if we pull off wet snow.
-
Good chance that tonight will be our last night well down into the 20s until next fall/winter.
-
It still hit 61 here today, but yeah not as warm as forecast due to the rain. Yesterday ended up being the warmer day thanks to more sunshine. It hit 65 here yesterday.

We are screwed if Senga is out for the year. Obviously having an ace at the top of the rotation is critical. Right now the hope is that he'll only miss the first month of the season, since it's a moderate strain. But you always have to worry about shoulder issues with pitchers, so who knows. Hopefully he won't have any setbacks as he's working his way back. If Senga only misses a month and pitches great the rest of the season, I think the Mets can compete for a playoff spot since having Diaz back at closer is a big boost. Of course that's a big IF though. Definitely worried about Senga.
-
Yep after a brief minor cool shot March 1st, it looks like an extended warm pattern. Lots of 55 to 60 degree days in early March. It appears likely that we're done. Obviously we can't completely rule out the possibility of getting lucky with something in mid March, but we'd much rather have cold air in early March if we're gonna get any. Only a very slim chance that something would work out near the coast in mid to late March. At that point I'm moving onto the gardening season anyway. We were very lucky to get as much snow as we did in a warm winter, so I can't complain. I'm ready to move on and hope we have mild weather in late March when it's time to get the gardening season started.

Next Wednesday looks very warm. Maybe too many clouds for 70, but at least well up into the 60s.

For me snow is the most important thing, so even if it's a warm winter it's an ok winter as long as we get average snowfall. Almost up to 20 inches for the winter here, so we're actually about normal snowfall right now. That's enough for me to bump it up to a C, but the grade will go back down a little if we don't get any more snow the rest of the winter. Remember we did have that period in January where we had the 2 light snow events in a week and snow stayed on the ground all week because it was so cold. So we had a very good week in January and now a great week in February. Not bad.

Refresher snow & obs between ~midnight and Noon Sat Feb 17 2024

Amazing how much our winter changed with this one week. About 14 inches for me between the two storms so our area went from way below average snowfall to now about average for the season. Awesome week! -

You would hope what is supposed to be a highly skilled short range model like HRRR would be able to pick up on something like this, but no. Late last night it was still insisting only a few inches.
