The end of March came with near-record highs that were nowhere near freezing — which meant no chance for snow. While that in itself is cause for celebration for most in the tri-state, it also meant New York City would cap off a weather trend not seen dating back to 1869, according to the National Weather Service.
With the final day of March seeing highs hit 80 degrees, it marked the third straight March in which there was no measurable snow at Central Park. That marks the longest run of Marches without measurable snow going back more than 150 years.Before now, the only two times there had been back-to-back months of March without snow were in 1945 and 1946, and again in 2021 and 2022. 1945 & 1946 and 2020 & 2021 were the only other back-to-back Marches with no measurable snow since 1869 in Central Park. But even that year, it wasn't much snow, as it has also been seven straight years where Central Park did not get an inch of snow in March, the National Weather Service said. That is also the longest such stretch since 1869.The run of Marches to not hit 1 inch of snow in NYC in Central Park will go to 7 in a row tomorrow. This is also the longest such stretch as well back to 1869.While the temperatures remained higher than normal, there were still the standard Spring showers in the forecast for parts of the tri-state Tuesday night, particularly north of the city. Same goes for Wednesday, but for both days, the scattered storms look to be more miss than hit. Wednesday has the higher chance of the two days to see widespread showers. After that, far cooler weather settles in for Thursday. Temperatures warm back up for Friday and into the weekend. Easter Sunday looks more unsettled and rainy, so be sure to get an egg hunts done earlier in the day.
