What March feels like
March here is a bait-and-switch — one weekend the Sheep Meadow is full of people in shirtsleeves, the next brings a raw coastal storm that flips umbrellas inside out on Sixth Avenue. St. Patrick's Day shuts down Fifth Avenue and half of midtown takes the day off.
Winter is doing its thing: 5.0 in of snow in a typical March, with fresh snow on about 2 days. about 11 nights dip below freezing.
