The back- and side-door cold fronts are converging at #NYC and producing an extremely impressive - and unusual - temperature gradient across the city, via NYS Mesonet obs.
Temperatures in the low 80s across traditional seabreeze-prone locations are 30F warmer than inland locations right now.

Love this. I just need my CSI students to move to VT, then I wouldn’t have to commute every week.
Idea for a reality TV show: Kick out every single New Yorker and substitute each Borough with the population of these eight US states. The New Yorkers of cause have to go to Alaska and Wyoming. I call the show "State Swap". Too ambitious? Source: buff.ly/3AZT6As
