Like baby moles emerging from their holes to see the sun for the first time, Upper West Siders walked out of their dark apartments into a bright and beautiful weekend — the first unequivocal Spring weekend of the year. Saturday marked the first 80-degree day since September.
The temperature at Central Park has just hit 80 degrees. Warmest temperature since September 24, 2014 when it was 84 degrees. #nycwx

Re: the pic of the Sheep Meadow jammed with sun-craving UWS’ers and the tweet “Huge crowds yesterday afternoon in Sheep’s Meadow, #NYC #CentralPark. First warm & sunny weekend in 6 months.”
Wanna bet someone there had already ‘locked Margot in the closet’!
Puzzled? Check the great Ray Bradbury’s “All Summer In a Day” short story !!
Too much to read for the 140-character set? Check the Wikipedia entry for that title. Here’s the link (hopefully)
