Throttle pinned would be my recommendation

Today was phenomenal.

What I was thinking too. Appreciate the ALEK call

miss east assuming springfield IL and not OH or IN

would like to rip my sled across moosepond.

Lol, I treat that as a race gate

Hopefully Sunday will be a nape day.

Any thoughts on the Springfield area? Will be there and am having trouble getting a read on it. Timing seems too early rn but still in the slight risk. Going from near 90 to 35 is going to be interesting. Will have to switch from AC to heat at my Airbnb. Gotta love March.

It seems like this pattern has been a bit more extreme version of what occurred in 1933-34 and 1980-81, both also -ENSO winters. 1933-34 remains Denver's warmest winter on record.

Nice corduroy to start the day, but heck if I'm gonna go "SLOW" on that.

Saturday looks awful . 30’s and wind

It’s almost like human development in a fucking desert is a bad idea.

Awesome!

Maybe for you guys there…but won’t take quite that much here. But it was a monster, and will take being in the jackpot zone again to rival.

I always enjoyed his posts. Only knowing him by this board, it was therapeutic to read his obituary and know more about the man, I encourage all those in my boat, to give a click.

Winter lives on here, 10/10 today .

Lol this is true. I think the big thing for me is having ample sunshine. Like, today is chilly, but I’m getting a sufficient recharge of Vitamin D. I’ve considered Nevada because my mom is out there, but funny enough my sister and nephews are in the southeast. I’m remote at my current job, but the company and customer are here, so I may stick around this area for a bit and just try to be less annoying when the weather isn’t going my way.

Just took the weather mats out of my car and put away my shovel. Winter is officially over

I hope there are some smarter and more climate-knowledgeable than me who chime in, but from what I've read, La Niña and the syndrome where "dry begets dry" (antecedent soil moisture, etc) have given rise to the dryness. We're certainly in one of the dryer periods we've seen, though not quite exceptional, yet. This happened during the Dust Bowl years, and was even more persistent. I'm satisfied with the explanation for the dryness. But the incredible heat itself is another story. Sure, La Niña contributes, and global warming contributes some, but I haven't yet seen a good explanation for the incredibly persistent and strong high pressure areas that are bringing it. The crabapple trees in Metro Denver are a good 4-6 weeks early with their blooming. Any other ideas?

Going to take 150+ to break that record lol

To date for both of us..since it still holds the record. But who knows…records are meant to be broken.

Same here....

Yes, quite the season for sure…beginning to very late end. And even a huge screamer total melt out in mid January too. It Had it all.

More than likely the best winter of my lifetime....
