Early Spring 📍

Mild and Rainy End to March ?

It looks like at least in New York, we will end out this month fairly warm and rainy. I’m ready for the salt to be washed off the roads, and for things to start greening up — at least in a month — in the city.

Winter Comes to a Close ?

All the evidence points to the snow being gone from the greater Capital Region, for the year, although there are many points up north that still have upwards of two feet of snow on the ground. But unless we have an unexpected snow storm further out, the 10-day forecast suggests only more melting. Maybe are done with winter. Or maybe not.
