Seasonal lag is a PITA. Can you imagine how much better off we’d be if Spring behaved more like Fall? Fall weather (in reverse) + the stronger sunshine would be a dramatic improvement over this confused tepid mess of a season. Currently 40 degrees (and dropping) in the middle of the day, today’s max sun angle is over 60 degrees, elevation is close to sea level. Ridiculous.

Got down to 30 here, first time below freezing since March 8th. It was very brief, thankfully, but still rather annoying.
-
Warning was definitely warranted, these conditions are dangerous. Legit feels like a tropical storm outside.
-
Yeah, and I hope damage is minimal, there’s been a nonstop barrage of sirens ongoing here for the past 10 minutes.
-
Winds aren’t letting up anymore like they were earlier, it’s more constant, feeling a bit Sandy-ish, obviously not the height of Sandy which was on another level, but how it felt in the hours prior.
-
This is feeling like the beginning of a fairly significant wind event. I’m feeling the ground vibrate with some of these gusts.
-
Leaf out slowed a bit but I see quite a few trees with small leaves and buds popping open on others and we’re still weeks ahead of schedule. No freeze here since Mar 16, and even that wasn’t a real freeze, low was 32. Have to go all the way back to Mar 8 for anything sub freezing.
-
Lol it really hasn't snowed in over 2 months, and it’s only March. *knock on wood*
-
Staten Island & Central Jersey have the best spring climo in the area. Best area climate in general. Temp here was still in the low/mid 50’s at about 3:30pm. Holding at 69 here now, hasn’t budged in about 15 minutes following a rapid rise.
-
65 and rising now, new high for the day. I repeat, where was this earlier?
-
Only 63 here today, didn’t clear out until almost 4:00, nice finish but absolute garbage for most of the day. And it’s still 60 right now, where was this energy earlier??? And there’s 70’s just a couple of miles to my west/northwest, wtf.
-
71 now here, finally! And it feels like it’s been quite a long time since we’ve had dry(-ish) heat, with humidity it’s like we always fall just shy of 100, though the heat index sometimes goes way beyond 100.
-
Nope, my highest so far is 68, three times...today, Monday, and January 12th. Have you hit 70?
-
67 here, it’d be nice to squeeze out a 70. 0.70” event total.
-
I saw a Weeping Willow that was already leafing out this morning, they’re always among the first to do so.
-
Matched January 12th for the warmest temp of the year so far (68) here. Currently 67.
-
0.00” today, radar returns this afternoon displayed rain in every directions, unable to penetrate this part of Suffolk, with the humidity here randomly plummeting to around 50% for a few hours.
-
Have we ever seen a major hurricane stay in one spot for as long as this one has? This is basically Dorian right now:
-
My only ice storm memory is of the Jan 1999 ice storm in the DC area, it was serious, the landscape looked very alien, all trees and power lines sagged in ways I’d never seen (and still haven't seen again), I recall one power line encased in thick ice dangling right in front of the window just a few feet away. This event was also my earliest weather memory.
-
I hit 105 in Queens, highest temperature I’ve ever experienced. Newark (and maybe LGA) is definitely going to hit 110 one of these days. Old Bridge, NJ hit 110 back in 1936.
-
I felt it, I thought I was off balance initially but I noticed clothes hangers swaying back and forth. Swaying not nearly as noticeable as the 2011 quake, that was enough to wake me up out of my sleep.
-
The sheer amount of green leaves left is astonishing. The landscape is still 50%+ green in many spots and we’re in the second half of November.
-
I super-hate early sunsets, we’re too far east in this time zone. It’d be nice if we could keep Eastern Daylight Time year round, but the U.S. government doesn’t allow year round DST, only opting out of DST. Making the switch to Atlantic Standard Time year round would solve that problem, multiple New England states have recently proposed switching.
