Indeed, it was snowing. The snow would stop and start again. As of 5:12 PM, it is not snowing.

Indeed, it was snowing. The snow would stop and start again. As of 5:12 PM, it is not snowing. This snow in March reminded me of an article I published on NLJ five years ago titled A Brief Mid-March Snow in Brooklyn. Then, like today, snow unexpectedly fell from the sky in March. While I remembered writing the article and where I was when it had snowed, I forgot one detail:\n\n> After temperatures flirted with 70 degrees over the weekend, they plummeted to highs in the mid-30s on Tuesday, March 16, 2021. While the temperatures were as low as I expected from having read the weather reports, I had not expected snow.\n\nWe just came off clearing 60 on four consecutive days, just clearing 80 on Tuesday the 10th. It was still close to 60 when I walked home last night from a show by the distinguished Victor V. Gurbo. But at the time of snow, the temperature was around 40. Today’s snow was a little bit heavier than the snow of March 16, 2021, which I would have almost certainly missed entirely had I not been outside at the time, but between the unexpected snow after a warm stretch following an unusually snowy December-February (see some of my snow photo articles from 2020 and 2026), we can say that history rhymes.",
