North and West

That’s the worst. My yard and the kids’ baseball fields will be muddy. Why bother at that point. .

I’ll give you a spring prediction: It’s gonna be cold, it’s gonna be grey, and it’s gonna last you the rest of your life. .

And by the way, I would like to be wrong, but this season has lost that loving feeling. .

While I do appreciate the Mike Tyson’s Punchout between your relentless optimism and his unending nattering nabob of negativism, this year is just very much like 1991 or 1998 or 2002, and it just doesn’t want to produce, for whatever reason. Maybe Stella will get her groove back next season. .

There’s that sun angle talk I’ve missed .

I love how my dehumidifier is running in the basement to help keep moisture out after the mild rains of mid-January. .

[emoji817] I remember that Star Ledger and the Daily Record effectively canceling winter in the early 1990s. [emoji2371] .

Right. Is it happening? Absolutely. Are we now Atlanta? Ehh… I feel more and more like my dad who counseled me to have patience when I had ZERO snow days in grammar school (1987 through 1993) until the absolute last minute, March 1993. .

I’ll be honest with you: half of the stuff you just said to me sounded like the nanny in Muppet Babies. .

Additionally, putting AGW aside for a moment (not discounting it, just not having it in the conversation for the time being), this is very much like the early and late 1990s for those too young to remember. We’ve had these winters before. (Yes, I know that it’s warmer; I’m referring to the rain and then cooldown then cutter, repeat) I distinctly remember daytime thunderstorms in or around January 1991, because I remember Sam Champion going over the radar on Channel 7 on the news when I got home from grammar school. .

That’s a deep cut yet spot on. .

I love your enthusiasm. It balances out the negativity. As someone who doesn’t understand the pretty colors on the maps people share (I was told there would be no math), I always assume the actual outcome will be somewhere in the middle. .

Don’t forget the summer-style torrential rain! .

I mean, it’s a coin flip, so [emoji2371] .

The pool opens Memorial Day Weekend. I’m assuming 55° and rain like 2020. .

What the heck is WAR? Are we doing sabremetric weather now? .

Averages have to come from somewhere. .
