New York City reached 80F (26.7C) today. That breaks the daily record of 79F (26.1C) from 2016. It is also New York City's earliest 80F (26.7C) or above temperature on record. The prior record was set on March 13, 1990. 

The 1990 record was sooner or later going to be broken.

I put this in the other thread. Anybody grading this winter has to include this brutal march. This lowers the grade for the whole winter.

3/10 and 80 is like Early Dec and 80

Reached 82 here.  Liking this May in March weather.

Honestly I usually consider winter DEC-FEB-outside of the first week or so of March it's over...but I see your point...from epic long lasting cold to summer and the entire northeastern snowpack wiped out-that's ugly

How about maybe  have  one analysis for Meteorological Winter and one for Astronomical Winter?

March is not winter, has no bearing on the grade which is obviously an A

Every pile from dpw is gone.  Even retained my lawn stripes from last mow.  Gotta show neighbors lawn dominance early!

Makes sense if you are an astronomer and not a meteorology enthusiast. 

 

If 80 on 3/10 is the price to pay for 3 straight BN months Dec-Feb, take all my money.

couldn't get a single record low all winter but here we are near 80 as soon as winter ended 

Took almost nothing to hit it too. Ridge isn't even that strong

i'm still wearing flannels....but what a gorgeous site on the navesink river today, watching from the hospital visiting a friend....in the 80's we would have been out on that river catching winter flounder. by the bucket load. now you can keep two, if you can find any. which you can't.

You get another one if these ridge flexes and with low dews and lack of vegetation we could hit 90+ easy.

lee goldberg said this was the earliest date on record that nyc hit 80 degrees..

I don’t know what science book or meteorological book you’re looking at, this is a scientific forum and March Absolutely is a winter month.

 

this has to be one of the most ill-informed posts I’ve ever read on here
