It's April. April 14th to be exact. In other words, it's the middle of April. And guess what's on its way to NYC? Yep, you guessed it -- a severe winter storm. November through January were mild months with no snow and quite bearable temperatures overall. We paid for that reprieve, however, starting in February and apparently we're still paying in the middle of April.
When I first moved here, one of my colleagues, Matt, gave me the breakdown of the weather in New York. He said the worst months of the year are March and April because even though much of March is still technically winter, you still sense that spring is on its way and certainly should be here any second. Ironic that three weeks after the first day of spring, we're being warned with no uncertain terms that tomorrow will mark the beginning of an intensely nasty three days of high winds, excessive rain, coastal flooding and should the temperatures dip a few degrees, it could turn into snow. And lots of it.
The weather system is called a nor'easter. Once again, a deceptively festive name that suggests an abundance of chocolate eggs and bunnies. Why not just call it a Spring Fling to REALLY establish a party atmosphere. It would be the perfect complement to a Wintry Mix.
