Op ed.   I've always thought that was kind of ironic about winter vs summer group psychobabble when comparing the two disparate seasons in this particular social media. 

Who knows what the real numbers are ...something like 60/40 say of the average bloke preferring winter over summer? Sometimes I suspect it's steeper than that and can launch into a sardonic diatribe how/why. Heh.  But what's ironic is that the turn around time between events that make winter interesting - at all - is longer than the turn around time in what makes summer interesting.   The obvious response there would be, well ... 60+% don't find summer events very interesting. 

But they do...because when there is hail, or high wind, or flooding rain, or big heat... thread counts balloon just as well.  We've had slow summers. Sure.

This will undoubtedly trigger arguments from people who myelinate impressions and memories based on something other than objective numbers, be we observe summer-type phenomenon more frequently in summer.  More so than we observe events of winter ... in winter.    All though lately we can find value in the tongue-in-cheek that winters are turning into four months of autumn. A growing coherency that makes this even more ironic.

This is anecdotal so don't give one's self any wedgies over it, but I see more CB's on horizons and other fantastic cloud ops, heat in model ranges either home or abroad to the world, about as often as I'm also waiting weeks ...weeks sometimes in winter for anything at all to happen.   To me, winter's most successful repeating phenomenon is darkness.  Okay.  To each is his or her own.  One's preference is one's preference.  

And l do risk sounding hypocritical when I say, ...yeah, I like winter weather phenomenon ...when it happens.  Otherwise, I don't forgo my opportunities to track heat ( as an actual meteorological phenomenon, make especially relevant in CC), thunder and CB/cloud formations, a scantily cloud woman, Golf and boogie-boarding in the surf.  None of which can happen between January 5th and that storms on the models for January 27th, that gets can-kicked to February 17th and ends up screwing someone for some reason.   But at least it's dark by 4pm

There is some child-like novelty to the first snow and holiday snows, and  occasionally interesting events, otherwise its just a beat down of darkness and nasty

I'm really looking forward to 8 weeks of posts arguing if it will be 85F or 88F.   

It's summertime, let's enjoy it!

Far superior to arguing 38 or 43 nastiness in January..  or better, coating or 1-2"   what a waste

look

The truth is probably in the middle. Some nice warmth and less Labrador azz going forward, but true summer is still being blocked to our SW.

83-88 is pretty much spot-on for mid-summer highs, that's what we will be seeing for many many days.  Sure the dews will be hit-miss 

Cold crew is reeling with the shit pattern behind us.  Nothing left to troll

Or heat! Average Summer for once incoming! We take! 

Take this

No prolonged cool anytime soon 

Saw a coyote cross 3A in Billerica earlier. They can run all of 30mph 

Yeah that period has been looking good for at least a couple days of low 90's

Just now, Typhoon Tip said:

Yeah true...going forward looks great though.  No looking back

Everything is awesome!

Need some summer to go along with this long daylight.  I’d take consistent 70s at this point.

What's your average high up there at 1k?  63-65?

Looks dry and mild through Saturday, a few showers Sunday/early Monday then retorch next week.  Overall summer vibes
