Lexington Ave & 66th St, 23 March 2012
It seems spring has arrived in New York City a month (at least!) earlier than usual. The picture at left was taken this Friday, March 23rd, at the corner of Lexington Avenue and 66th Street—usually, trees don’t even begin budding until April, but this fellow was in full bloom!
We’ve had an unusually warm winter and, this past week, incredibly mild weather more reminiscent of May than March. Today, we’re back to the low 50°’s, a more seasonable temperature, but in the latter half of the week we were seeing upper 70°’s.
While I certainly appreciate the spring-like conditions, I’m hoping this isn’t a harbinger of a long, hot, nasty summer!
