Brooklynites across Brooklyn streamed outside and rejoiced as winter came to an official end on March 20, welcoming the spring and all its good tidings.
Taking advantage of the weather, people turned out in droves to take a stroll on the Coney Island Boardwalk. And in Brooklyn Heights, one loving, soon-to-be-wed couple celebrated the season of rebirth by taking photographs as the Brooklyn Bridge loomed behind them, almost visible through the snow.
