After a cold and snowy winter, birds are chirping and flowers are starting to bloom in New York City. More than three weeks after the vernal equinox, spring has finally sprung!

With a high temperature of 72°F in Central Park, today was the warmest day the city has seen all year.  It has not been this warm in the Big Apple since October. Our normal high for this time of year is 61°F.
