March isn’t meteorological winter. 3 below average temp months in winter and well above average snow (Central Park probably has over 45” given undermeasurements) makes it high end.
Yep-through April even into May it can be downright miserable living on the barrier islands. And especially this year-water temps still in the upper 30s.
Cold enough for snow-sure. I have little hope there’ll be anything else here other than maybe a minor stat padder event. But cold enough to make it nasty for days on ENE winds is another story.
This time of year the temps will usually overshoot guidance-leaves aren’t on the trees yet so less evapotranspiration. When the high is supposed to be 65, expect 70 as long as winds aren’t onshore which is always another question.
You should write it a eulogy. It lived a glorious life and had lots of friends that all dwindled away one by one until he was the only one left standing.
