He’s gone . Won’t be coaching again

So sad to hear…but I can understand your position. Well it’s very rare to get 3 feet in a single storm…but I see your point. Let’s hope we get some winter before you leave in mid January then.

Way overblown...nbd

I'm a little more than 1/2 your age, then (bold) I'm already moving the other spiritual direction with regard to winter, though. I started longing more and more for 'the one that got away', which most sadly and likely not going to change - hoping on an alternate universe manifestation on that. No, it's not Christine - that was a passing story years ago that some obsess over for some reason. Anyway, I’m also increasingly longing for an escape place. This last year is the first when growing indifference tipped the scale away as finally exceeded the fading love for winter. The thing is, I'm still fascinated by the evolution of winter storms. But my fascination for a much large breadth of aspect in other sciences and experiences just seemed to grow along the way - natural personal evolution. I'd rather be involved with the fantasy science of anti-gravity propulsion systems. The search for extra-terrestrial life. Writing and publishing another science fiction novel - which I am working on... These other fascination no longer need include this climatology, which in fact has been getting disrupted enough - I don't wanna play the denial game every November anymore. If/when I lose it for winter, it makes these April abominations that much more tedious to endure, too. Last winter was the first where it was ~ Dec 1 and loathed the notion that it would be a 5 month slog of cold and early sunsets

The end of an era

Gratitude and appreciation for the experiences had = wisdom. Hoping for a beautiful New England summer and wishing you fantastic weather in FL next winter.

The drought predictably exploded from 22 to 38% of the state in D3 or “Extreme” drought. D4 “Exceptional” areas in Georgia and Florida expanded as well, though slightly

I won’t be flying back. I learned that lesson last year. Big ones actually have a negative impact for me now. Eg: walking at the height of a storm was always what I lived for. Enjoying it with like minded friends also. Not possible when everyone is separated and walking in the street can easily get me killed by a plow. It’s been a fun run with winter but I now understand why all the old school snow loving great tv mets moved to Florida in their old age. Coming back in February made me realize that had we gotten 3 feet like areas 50 miles south I’d have been stuck at home for weeks on end. I’ve skated, skied, snowshoed, walked in winter. I’ll be 80 as winter begins next year. I’m done.

Dumbest comment I’ve heard in a long time…coming from the guy who got two, 2 plus footers in one year….get a grip. And patently FALSE! Go have a drink by the pool.

If this was two months ago the Euro would be getting bashed right now for pulling the plug on Mon/Tues. Glue factory

So I wonder, does Gritty know how to use a broom?

Phenomenal morning out this way; tough to work inside when it’s like this.

It used to be a near guarantee this time of year to have 2-3 cutoff ULL’s get trapped in the southeast and produce a week straight of light rain and cool weather.

Pretty extreme how repetitive these patterns are becoming with both the 2023 and 2026 having spring crop damage from cold following early record warmth.

Winter is slowly dying, Jerry is smart.

This man must’ve visited RDU a few times before

Absolutely horrific

Thought y'all might get a kick out of this

The heart of the winter…gone for you Jerry. I’m sad for you…but if there’s a big one you, can fly home like you did this year too, so there’s that.

Today will likely be our mildest day for quite a while. We start a cooling trend tomorrow and it looks like our pattern over at least the next several weeks will feature generally below normal temperatures and above normal precipitation. Of note since March 1st we are at about 80% of our normal precipitation. We could pick up a 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch of rain from Friday night through Saturday. Saturday will be a chilly and raw day with winds off the still chilly ocean keeping temperatures not far from the current ocean water temp of around 50 degrees. Temperatures next week look to remain a little cooler than normal with rain chances increasing again by Monday night into Tuesday.

Quite the weekend battle-alot of rain to no rain in a short distance. RGEM and NAM with sharp cutoffs

Low of 46 with .04” of rain. Today is a mow day.

Welp…we had one season we could dream… back to garbage
