Some of it has to be the wind. Wind all over the northeast has been kinda nutty this year and the wind in Flushing can be downright brutal in April and May. Even more off topic, there is a pub in Annapolis that has some of the best seafood chowder on the planet. At least my planet. You can get red or white or a combo of both. The few times I've been there I just got both. Mouth is watering thinkin of it.
