Temperatures rose above 50 degrees—nearly balmy compared to the freezing conditions that dropped more than 15 inches of snow over the past two weeks.

Today’s sun brought slightly warmer temperatures hitting the low 40’s at 3:30pm. The bright day brought people, kids, pets and surfers out to Robert Moses State Park and Fire Island National Seashore.

This mornings snowfall didn’t alter those that live in the alternative universe of an endless summer on Long Island South Shore.
