it would be nice to see a strong SE ridge also developing and block all that crap from the west so we could have nice sunny skies and let the storms go off either to our north or south.

Where's a good southeast ridge when you need one? They are omnipresent during the winter but disappear as soon as spring comes lol. We had like 2 hours of good weather before this crap moves back in.

EWR: 93 (2023)NYC: 91 (2023)LGA: 89 (2023)JFK: 82 (2023) This was from our 2 day miniheatwave 2 years ago, fun times.

Not to mention that 1950 might be the earliest you could even have the same record across all 4 official sites.

Maybe one day you can go all the way back to 92-93 which is when our exciting winter weather began

Enjoy the warmer weather. Leaf out is very close, I see a lot of green in my trees.

when are we finally going to see the winds calm down? 31 days with winds above 30 mph since January 1st and this winter our winds averaged 40 mph?

Is this for Newark Chris? I remember the record for them was 92 from two years ago.

this is why we saw so much sun today!

it reminds me of Central Park's 88s or 89s that should be 90+ lol

Same here, I think the winds are moving the clouds around so whenever that blue patch of sky is near the sun it comes out lol.

Bright and sunny here with the sun in the south :-)

Has the sun come out there yet? It's pretty sunny here, really nice after 2 days of dreary weather.

That's yet another 1"+ of snow with temperatures of 35 or higher, it seems to be pretty common in April. What's the T at the end, the amount of snowcover left at the end of the day, Chris?

Chris was the negative temperature anomaly greater in February 2015 than it was in January 2004 and January 1994 and December 1989 (I know that's going back aways lol)?

so close to 90 on this date just two years ago Records:Highs:EWR: 92 (2023)NYC: 90 (1923)LGA: 89 (2023)JFK: 85 (2023)

Good news, Tony, over the past hour the sun has been coming out and I see patches of blue skies

Interesting no 4/20 or later freeze since 1930 lol We don't get many October freezes anymore either. When was the last time we had a freeze before 10/20, Chris? Not in my lifetime either.

wow so that 1-1.5 inches (AT JFK) snow event we had on 4-19/20-1983 happened with the temperatures above freezing, Chris?

wild so no 70 degree temperature at all in April 1875 (similar to April 2020 in that respect) and the warmest day of the entire month was on the last day? Also, note 3 inches of snow with a low of 34.....kind of reminds me of April 2018, but more than 3 weeks later lol. 1875-04-25 51 34 42.5 -14.7 22 0 0.44 3.0

Thanks Don, and is the 3 inches that fell on the 25th in 1875 Central Park's latest recorded accumulation of snow?

If we ever get a February 2015 type anomaly in April it could happen again one day....

wow four days of accumulating snowfall (not to mention the 3 inches on April 25th-- the latest accumulating snowfall at the park on record?) are both absolutely amazing! 4:1 sounds about right for what might have been the highest temperature for accumulating snowfall the city has ever seen-- has the city ever seen any accumulating snowfall with a temperature of 40+ Don?

I just don't remember it being all that cold this late aside from the May 2020 event. We don't even get a freeze after April 10th anymore aside from the April 16th very late freeze in 2014. I think JFK's latest freeze on record is either April 19 or 20th.

That giant one prior to 1885 really sticks out, how much did we have in that one and what year was that in, Chris?

The only year when we might have possibly have had a later freeze would have been April 1983 when we had 1-2 inches of snow on April 19-20.
