Down to just patches of snow cover here this morning.

I spent the weekend in the Catskills.  Snow is patchy at the trailheads (almost gone in spots), but at least a couple of feet remains starting around 2500 feet and more higher.  In most places the snowpack is thoroughly rotted.  It has no structure and if you go off the packed tracks you sink to the bottom with very little resistance.  Some of the trails were washed out rivers on Sunday.  The snowpack there is going to release a lot of water between now and Wednesday.

starting this weekend cold enough air for snow making will return and probably last into a good portion of April for ski resorts that choose to remain open - mainly caused by the Start Warming event now unfolding.

I think the record for this date was 77 in 2016. Can we break?

Feels hot if you stand in the sun.

The only snow left are the huge piles.

Always does this time of year as long as winds stay offshore.

63 already, overpreforming so far. Yesterday underperformed here with a high of only 58.8, then a high of 59.3 around 11:30pm when the front finally pushed the sea breeze offshore

Not sure where we'll end today, probably won't hit 70 on the south shore, but 63 with a sea breeze is pretty good so far

The craziest part of that month was NYC received a 4.4 inch snowstorm in a sea of warmth

Enjoy the transient 3/16-3/20 cooldown. A massive warm surge pushes across the entire CONUS right after the Equinox…..

Wow, actually looks like 2012 at times. People should be happy as we'll finally be moving on to spring. Y'all had a great winter, no one should be complaining about this.

69! feels great!

Without an AO-, there's nothing to lock in the trough.

71⁰ here at 1pm.  Just took a walk around the neighborhood.  A little surreal with a deep blue sky and a warm breeze and still lots of snow around, despite there being none left at the stake.

70 here but back down to 69. I think we’ve topped off and now we’ll hang out in the 60s rest of day.

enjoy it this week - you won't see 70's here again for a few weeks - that warm surge will have a difficult time making it to the east coast because of the strat warming event unfolding now and once it approaches the metro we will be back doored because of the arctic air being displaced further south because of the polar vortex displacement into southeast Canada

Yep right on time to ruin spring...it's like clockwork most yrs

As of 12:51 my Cobble Hill Brooklyn area hit 70. The park, well ……. In the tradition of snowfall measurements, hasn’t. Stay well everyone, as always ….

Central Park has reached 70° for the first time since October 19, 2025.

Winter ends next week. You got your snow, you got your cold from the end of November through the beginning of March. Reality. Let it go, enjoy life. It’s time to move on

Well Don, I guess the Atlantic wants to make sure my Cobble Hill location doesn’t get too over confident. Stay well, as always ….

I had Central Park at 72 today on my weather page.

Gorgeous-67 here in Melville. The snow piles are melting like crazy and crying for mommy.

[psv88]
