In our warmer climate, models usually back off Arctic outbreaks in the 6-10 day forecast. This time they are actually increasing the cold as we get closer. The polar vortex passes right over the area as the blocking is becoming more intense than earlier forecasts. Models all have lows on the 28th in the 20s and highs only in the 30s. The average split for NYC on 3-28 is 54/39.

It's a rare legit cold wave in a sea of warmth. Early blooms likely to be affected.

is this kind of extreme cold now forecast to last into early April, Chris-- could we see lows below freezing in April (and maybe even a chance of snow during the first week of the month)?

Yup. I have tons of early flowers in bloom on campus. Most, like daffodils will handle it without being trashed. But our magnolia will loose it’s blooms. 
I’ll take the loss if we can at least pull a snow event and not waste the cold

We got teased big-time last week.  Probably won't be nice again until May.  Ugh.

Just want to be outside in the sun, walking,  golfing, etc...way better than looking out the window and hoping for white flakes to fall from the sky

I'd rather it be in the first week of April, those are the ones we remember.

if there's one pattern to get a late season event, this would be it: highly anomalous, decaying WB -NAO, 50/50 ULL, and a strong OH Valley trough

obviously, climo is unfavorable, but there's the potential for another winter storm if this pattern verifies. if we saw this even a couple of weeks ago we'd be talking KU

My mother still talks about Easter Sunday 1970.  Her relatives from the Jersey Shore area had to cancel their plans to travel north for the holiday.  Think there was a good 6-8 inches of snow in North Jersey.  By the next afternoon, it was gone.

Again……NYC proper, AFTER the EQUINOX (3/20), in the 22 years since 2000, go back and look for yourself

Can’t speak to Central Park but in April 2003 and April 2018 right on the south shore where I lived at the time there was 6” each. It’s rare but doable.
