Spring Cleaning COLD
I have chores to do…some spring-cleaning of my aunt’s garage…I have to fix a gate, pant a fence…work on an awning...you get the idea.
I have no problem doing the work – in fact it’s my pleasure – anything for family and friends. That goes without saying. No, my problem is with the weather in the northeast. It’s not pleasant right now.
It’s frigid.
Break out the gloves and the hat. The average daytime high for New York City, where I live, at his time of the year should range between the low to mid-50’s depending on which borough that you reside. Central Park’s average temp for today is 57. We’ll be fortunate if we break 40…optimists are projecting 44. Saturday the high in Cp will be 43, Sunday 46. Both days will be a mixture of sun and cloud, mostly cloudy though on Saturday – AND a chance of FLURRIES before noon on Sunday!
WHEN AM I GOING TO GET THE WORK OUTSIDE DONE?
I have to wait until the week of the 15th. By then we are in the 50’s and I can shed a layer. Or maybe I should just get cracking and not blame the weather. Just don’t blame my weather colleagues or me. We’re just messengers.
Happy Easter by the way.

Hi Gary,
I caught your weather show and enjoyed reading your blogs. I'm from Kansas City-right in the heart of the US. We must keep our eye on the weather since it can go from one extreme to the other- all in the same day. (You know-Dorathy and the Wizard of Oz) I read that you have family from Antiqua. I've vacationed there- beautiful place. I've never been to Canada though. Perhaps one day. I, too like photography and would love to see some of your photos. Keep up the good work! Candis

Soooo nice of you Candis - I appreciate your kind words, viewership, your input! Kansas City, where you are from is a great city... I've never been myself but have heard good things from some of my friends abroad... Antigua is where my mother is from in fact, and yes, I agree it's absolutely lovely. My hometown of Toronto, Ontario is a great big city (the largest in Canada)...great people, sites, food, entertainment, and weather actually - in the summer and fall in particular...you should visit if you get a chnce Candis - my best to you!

I live in toronto and at this time of year I like walk around without having to wear a jacket. I now I especially don't want to wear my winter jacket now because it's a Toronto Maple Leafs jacket and you have probly heard the sad news about the Leafs. I have to ask is the weather ever going warm up? am I ever going to be able to go outside without having to worry about the weather.

I hear what you are saying Lena. Miss T.O. a great deal too...and it's great in the spring there! It can be lovely taking a walk down at the beaches or on Queen Street... through the St.Lawrence Market area...with that springtime sunshine and mild air...enough is indeed enough... Poor Leafs... When will the Stanley Cup drought end...of course we have to make the playoffs first...
Thanks for stopping by Lena!
My best to you -
Gary
