Snark/shaming don't work very well, typically; this is more effective. Just changed the thread title - a few days later than expected, as I've been away for a couple of days with very little social media activity. My wife and I spent a couple of days in OCNJ and then spent today in the Mantua (SNJ near Philly) area with our son and his fiancee and her parents doing a menu/drink tasting for their wedding coming up in September (some seriously great food).
So, back to the weather, that backdoor cold front ended up being stronger than almost anyone expected, as temps never got back to 60F for most of the area (at least north of Philly/SNJ) from Weds through today. OCNJ yesterday was chilly/raw with mist and temps around 50F and today didn't get above the low/mid-50s anywhere in the Philly-NJ-NYC area with some upper 40s along the coast and in NWNJ/NEPA.
Tomorrow should warm up into the 60s, but it's going to be quite windy with gusts to 40 mph all day, followed by some heavy rain (1" or more) from tomorrow late afternoon through early Monday). Next week looks mild for much of the week (highs in the mid-50s to low 60s), but turning much cooler on Friday.
And for those interested, some long range forecasters are calling for major disruptions to the polar vortex, resulting in occasional outbreaks of significantly colder than normal weather (probably alternating with warm spells) for late March into early/mid-April, along with some storminess. Probably too late for snow for our area, but late March/early April snows are not unheard of. More likely some cold rainstorms with some interior/New England snows.
