The NYC report: Turned on the a/c last Monday as the high temp. set an April record.
Well, New York has been just plain weird this year. I was there over the weekend of April 6th (for my great aunt's 100th birthday) and we got snow flurries two out of the three days. I kept getting that odd feeling I always get on my rare forays to the north - that there's just something unnatural about the temperature outside being cooler than inside.
Of course, last weekend it was a lot hotter up there than it was here in south Florida. I expect that in August, but not in April. (In almost 13 years I have never experienced the kind of heat down here that New York can produce in August. It rarely gets much above 90 here. The day my sister got married, in August of '75, it was 104 in New York. Luckily our church had installed its first-ever air conditioning system that spring. As it was my sister cancelled plans to have her pictures taken outside at a botantical garden, opting to stand in the shade of some trees behind the church for the absolute minimum number of pictures necessary. )
