It's on the cool side but today is the first full day of spring. While winter temperatures linger a day longer than they're supposed to let Gothamist entertain you with links to giant mutant snowflakes and snow donuts. Let us assure you that there is no snow in the forecast. There's a slight chance of light rain mixed with sleet late tonight, but no snow.
The rain is a harbinger of an approaching warm front. Tomorrow will be considerably warmer than today. Highs will just barely surpass 40 degrees today. Despite what's likely to be a cloudy day, there's a slight chance of rain again, we'll be going up to around 60 on Thursday. The chance of rain increases late Thursday night into Friday morning. Gothamist is rooting for rain to wash away the ugly gray snow. Friday will again be warm.
More seasonable, highs in the lower-50s, weather returns for the weekend. A few showers may pop up on Saturday but Sunday looks to be sunny.
Last week we posted a story about the increased threat of storm surges to the city's infrastructure and housing, an issue that is becoming more important as the pace of waterfront development increases. One commenter from Australia posted a "theory" that humanity would be wiped out next year. Silly us thought the we had until 2012! More seriously, Wayne Barrett has an excellent article in the Village Voice on how Deputy Mayor Dan Doctoroff's pro-development agenda totally ignores any possible consequences of changing climate and the increasing risk that storm surges pose to low-lying areas of the city.

Hello, Hay fever, Allergies, Elevated levels of smug, Drastic increase in noise at all hours of the freakin night when you have to sleep so that you might be able to get the hell up in the morning to go to work and not have your boss trying to chew your ass for breakfast because some prick with a sound system that doesn't have to go to work in the morning can be just that ! I hope you all are ready for the incoming season . Boy it's great to live in a hood where everybody goes to work . It's nice and quiet when I get home in the evening .
Not Amused, have you ever left even one positive comment on Gothamist? It must really suck to go through life with such an awful attitude.
I didn't see a cloud all day today.
"Highs will just barely surpass 40 degrees today. Despite what's likely to be a cloudy day"
What clouds? Tonight you meant not during the day.
I leave plenty of positive comments ! I can't help it if Gothamist gives me the types of stories that invoke rage . (See what I just did, Instead of ending my sentence with an exclamation point, I used the period). (See I put a positive spin on the end of a pre-comment for you )Seriously , This is the time of year when the weather gets nice during the day and the Tree's, Plants,and some grasses start to pollinate . It's a very trying time for those whom suffer from allergies "Anolmalous" . Guessing you don't have any of those problems ?
