New York in the cold rain for Easter Sunday


New York City
Easter Sunday on the last day of March was spent in the chilly air mass that continues to hold trees from blossoming in New York City. That is way different from last year when the Easter ambiance was similar to late May thanks to an early spring. << Fortunately, our Easter ( Orthodox )  will be celebrated in early May and we will enjoy beautiful weather>> said a Greek professional resident of Astoria, Queens. This year Greek Easter is more than a month apart from Easter Sunday. It is usually on the Sunday after and rarely on the same Sunday. << I expect temperatures to slowly warm up after this latest cold snap that could send temperatures down to freezing in New York City on Monday and Tuesday nights. I plan to start sowing by end of the week as I believe that this Early April cold and frost mass will be the last of Winter 2012-2013.>> said FPG.
