Itstrainingtime

Forecast high for me today was 53, currently sitting at 54. Another bust with high temps. Oh, and I'm not going to lie...I'm digging this weather right now. It's another beautiful day. Never thought I'd feel this way about 50s in the middle of December.

Looks like 80s in store for a good chunk of FL later this week.

I can't wait for a clear, calm night with fresh snow cover when you report -8 and I'm sitting at +4.

Almost 50 here. (48.2)

Yes it was. I only made it down to 31 overnight.

It is, but I love having my own car down there. Higbee and Ramsey ruled out tonight with Covid.

Ah...the "other" Orlando airport. I've taken the Auto Train into Sanford many times.

You flying into Ft. Myers or Tampa?

57 was the high here. Felt warmer than that in the sun.

If you've ever listened to a Tomlin presser...you know the language above.

"We don't seek comfort in our situation...we're men, and we're not looking for sympathy. It is what the situation is. We failed in all 3 phases in the weather today. There are no moral victories on the models. My father taught me that if something smells bad, it probably stinks. Right now we stink. We'll uncover every opportunity and make the necessary adjustments to improve." I'm paid to win, and right now, we're not winning." - Mike Tomin (after every single loss, and his weekly comments about football resonate with the weather currently)

Bingo. People ask me if I'm a snow guy, I correct them and say that I'm a weather nerd. While I don't like severe, I do love to follow all types of weather. Can't get enough of it. If it's going to be warm, let's keep setting record highs as it will be noteworthy.

What almost certainly will happen.

Shorts are more than fine today. I'll be in shorts about 30 seconds after getting home this afternoon prior to our riverside walk.

That's what I'm anticipating. And I'm really excited to get to that realization.

HR conference in Orlando in May, heading to Sanibel in February. Perhaps another trip to Universal in November next year.

Have a great trip! I'm heading to Florida at least twice in the next several months.

Hey, I've gotten very good at busting high on temps. Man, does it feel good to be outside today.

Already up to 53 here! Gorgeous day out there.

My only issue worth noting today is that you clearly referred to people on here who were punting winter. You did the same last week. No one has punted a damn thing, and THAT is my objection. I can agree or respect just about anything else- but don't say things that aren't true. I'm ready to move forward.

In all honesty...post of the year material. Period.

Agree completely. I'm trying to balance the overall pattern with the idea that there will be times of some improvement.

Please read what people like Bubbler, Tim, and myself are saying. Which is NOT punting. I fully believe that the pattern will improve and wintry weather chances will come. I also think; by and large, the pattern overall for the winter (Nina) supports progressive, strung out weak systems, and wound up ones will cut.

Stop. Please. This is just not true. And it's not funny.
