After a mild winter, the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic are chilly.

That may not change anytime soon.
It’s still the third warmest start to the year on record for many Northeast cities.

The calendar may say mid-spring, but the weather in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic doesn’t seem to have gotten the memo. An anomalously chilly month, punctuated by even a few shots of late-season snow, has dominated weather patterns as of late. And the drab weather is likely to continue, the chill lingering even in to the start of May.

At La Guardia and JFK Airports in New York City, a trace of snow fell on Thursday, attesting to the stubbornness of the remnant wintry airmass that refuses to relinquish its tight grasp. Temperatures have been below average in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Hartford, and Portland, Maine. Across the board, the thermometers are hovering a degree or two below long-term averages for April.

And odds are things will stay like that for at least the next couple of weeks as a stalled pattern keeps a lobe of northern nippiness spilled over the Northeast. The National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center indicates high chances of below-average temperatures over the next two weeks in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, and some chilly weather could even linger beyond that, especially in the north.'>>>

They won't get fooled into blooming early and get smacked down by a late freeze .
