Last year, the Mets were in jeopardy of having to make up a game missed early in the season due to weather.  Unbalanced schedules and trying to pack too many games in, especially early in the season, is risky.  They got away with it this year, so far.  Opening Day series used to have an off day, just in case there was a weather cancellation.  Too much money involved now to go back to a 154 game schedule.

Forget what year it was but the Mets played in snow in Chicago then when they went to Colorado had snow delays.

Unless they play opening day in a removable dome.

But this year opening day was March 27th, this is ridiculous!

Opening Day should be in the second week of April at the earliest. After April 10th!

Look, it's often warmer in November than it is in March or early April, why are they so opposed to having the playoffs cover the first half of November at least?

 

The season is too long.  Opening in March is silly.  At least this year, the Mets were on the road for the first two series.  Extended playoffs pushing the World Series to November is not good either.

Very steep low level lapse rates again today. Another day with NW gusts over 40 mph. So a continuation of our strongest average wind gust pattern since December. A few spots could see a stray snowflake later if the moisture doesn’t dry out coming over the mountains.

Looks like the game tonight has been pushed back to during the day.

It feels like winter today lol.

It definitely feels like winter today and everyone is going below freezing tonight.

I was thinking the same, and as it turns out there were 31 states.  But the 31 already included the ones where it would be toughest to have snow, like Florida.  BTW, since I encountered this while looking into it, here's what the flag looked like in 1857:

We are following the decadal pattern since 2015 of NYC having the last freeze between March 20th and April 10th. 

When was our last freeze after April 10th.... 2014? I distinctly remember that snow we had on April 16, 2014.

Also, it's strange that our last freeze in 2020 was in early March and yet we had snow in May 2020!

41 / 25 clearing.  Cold / windy mid - upper 40s best.  Freezing / below tonight into Wed morning.  Wed sunny and nicest of the next 4-5 days near 50.   Clouds back Thursday with rain, showers i at night with Friday and the coming weekend looking ugly - clouds, showers/rain.  Clears out and much warmer by Mon - Thu next week 60s, but no sustained major warmup yet.  By week of the 21st ridging in the east could push temps 70+.

Looks like the pattern change to real spring weather happens by Monday.  Sunny and 60s to near 70 all next week will be absolutely awesome!!

The euro shows one warm day..Monday..otherwise seasonal which is low 60s which will still feel great

Yes the best part is sunshine and no more rain.

I hope we dont get any more rain for the rest of the month I am tired of it.  I hope we have a giant ridge that moves everything well to our north like we used to get in the good old days (1991, 1993, 1995, 1999, 2002, 2010, etc.)

We're still a week out so anything could still show up

You’ll have the mountains at least where the endless Pacific jet pattern should provide plenty of chances. 

The only chances he'll be catching in Southern California are chances for wildfire.

I can't imagine what the home insurance costs down there as a new buyer.

mountains near san diego get more snow than we do heh

 

i had to drive from my girlfriends dads house in pheonix back to san diego in late february one night. as soon as we hit the mountains after the central valley i saw a snowflake and said "no way, is that snow?" about 3 minutes later it was full white out conditions on the 8 freeway. I was terrified. pretty trippy to be in a snowstorm passing signs that say "turn ac off until crest" due to cars overheating in the summer desert heat
