I still hate dews and excessive heat, doubt you'll ever win me over on that.  It's mostly dews I dislike, dry 90F is usually fun.  I love the perfect outdoor weather though... those deep blue skies, 70s with long daylight.  Big fan of late spring and early summer before the dews come.  Honestly, this time of year may be my favorite of the year.  No bugs, no mosquitoes yet, long daylight, warm afternoons, comfortable sleeping weather with no A/C.

Intermountain western US would be perfect for me.  Nights in the 40s, days in the 80s all summer long at the ski towns with morning sun and afternoon scattered storms every single day for three months.

That's one thing I love about certain parts of AZ, it can be 105 and feel far cooler than here when its 75 and super dews.

Out of curiosity.. where did you get that forecast from ?

Sounds like a weather app forecast... there's a reason we nicknamed it fuccuweather

I hope you take Vitamin D supplements with that attitude

Diet is full of it. I've always hated being in direct sun... and know too many who've developed skin cancer now that I'm older. Clouds and 52 degrees

Can't wait for these clouds to burn off.  Still 52 under this mank as of 11:22.

Was just on a job in West Hartford, cloudy and 54,  got back to Simsbury and its sunny and 69. Quite the difference... I prefer the clouds

Sun is out. LFG !

Still locked in clouds here... LOVE it!  You can have the sun

We had a pretty decent frost this morning in Westfield, we'll see how the plants fared this afternoon. It was 30 degrees when I left the house at 5 a.m.

I forgot to post this in the other thread. 32 inches total for the season in Westfield. Never kept track at the office in Simsbury. We did get far more here on February 13th than Westfield, but I believe Simsbury area is still a few inches shy of home

1982 I was 14..it was awesome. Legit Blizzard conditions with powder, no wet stuff.… cold/frigid airmass. 20 inches plus. Out of school for 3 days.  

Yep! I was 12. I was already following the weather and none of the adults at the time thought we were going to get any snow. I also remember it was pretty warm at least a couple weeks leading up to the storm because we had already done yard clean up and run over the lawn with the mower once to clean up winter crap

Not even sure to be honest I haven't really been keeping track.

REALLY! So... not a TRUE weather weenie status yet for you.

can't upload without power or internet 

Exactly. And even if cell service is still functional, service in NNE is still spotty at best

Husband texted that we have 1.25 inches of snow and sleet down at home, and still snowing lightly. All done here in Simsbury, just a coating 34 degrees

Was thinking about picking up a Lunnenburg ruler next year to take measurements.

HA, nice. Looks like an old fishing ruler, or the opposite of the one used at BDL in the 70s for official snow depth totals

Light snow continues here, but lightening. Mid winter this is Currier and Ives. What's this considered for spring season... Bartles and Jaymes?

Was a wild night . Gusts were easily 55+

Your area must have eaten that all up, we have barely had any wind at all out this way all night, and it's dead calm and snowing now. One of the very few times in the last four decades I've seen the number one member of the fraud 5 actually happen

The rain sleet mix is transitioning to snow in simsbury. Down a degree to 33 since I got in an hour ago

About 3/4 inch of sleet in Westfield, just a coating here in Simsbury... however almost got T boned by a Paines garbage truck that "Just couldn't stop"

Going to be a fun drive to work in a few.  Side roads a sheet of ice here. Sleet just changed to snow. Haven't seen the ground this white in 2 months

Most people in W MA don’t even lock doors. 

Speak for yourself!

Plows are out the past half hour 

If this keeps up, the spring pressure washing of the house will be easy!

They always are...The power co's here are really the worst.

There's one of the understatements of the year! Same as saying they are understaffed with techs

Heavy sleet / rain now in Westfield 34 degrees
