This past weekend into Monday was just plain hideous.
As you already know, I went to New York on Saturday, with the Central Park temperatures nearing mid 70s. Because of the wonderful weather we’ve been experiencing, the crowds all over the Manhattan borough was making this writer go crazy. It’s not typical of April Vacation to have that many people in a common area. I’ve been there at least once during that time over a decade ago.  Times Square and Central Park were the worst offenders of the mayhem. Our waiter at a large restaurant joint in Times Square was telling us to enjoy this weather, and he said he likes this time of year (etc., etc.)
Back at home on Monday, the temperatures broke 90+ degrees. The Boston Marathon had to prepare for the excessive heat
While there is so many brush fires, there is rain in sight, but – however – the temps are going to go back into above “normal” temperatures
And New York on Monday was the coolest of all the 4 major Northeast cities, while Philly, DC and Boston were well into the 90s, while Central Park was ranging from mid 80s.
I suspect ether this summer to be a dud, ether being too hot and dry or very wet or both. Something tells me this is going to be the summer of 2002 all over again or could be another one I can’t think of.
Again, I’ve already kissed winter to its death. This is the new climate (at least for the next generation.) Hot, sunny, no rain, no cold and no significant snow during the “winter” seasons. Just the plain ol hot sun!
