I hope so, because while I may not be able to grasp the concept of loving cold, snow, and the gloom and mess of winter, I try to respect it.

Over the past few days, my Saturday high went from 44 to 42 to 41 to now 39. Ridiculous...

Seriously? Hell of a way to describe weather enthusiasts who like something other than endless cloudy days, snowstorms, and frigid temperatures that coincide with a dead looking landscape.

Man, these last few posts. All true for me. 87storms. You sound like the Mid Atlantic version of me. A true warmanista. My work as a truck driver, hauling spring water, and spending 50% of my day outdoors makes me prefer temps of 50+ as a minimum. IronTy. That's about how I feel about winter. Christmas to Valentine's is about enough for me.

You are 100% correct.

Today's mid 30's feels SO much better than yesterday's mid 30's. Sunshine changes everything.

Just to add insult to injury, to go along with the stupid 32 degree temperature, now it's snowing up in Hazleton too.

38 in my backyard. 31 to 33 depending on station in Hazleton.

That's because I'm not there. If I was, it would be warm here and cold there...lol

I just hope we don't ride the boundary all summer long where we get a nice day or two followed by 2-3 muck days, then a nice one again, and so forth and so on. I'm delivering Hazleton today again, and it's cloudy, drizzly, and 36 outside. Nasty, depressing stuff.

Seems to be garden variety stuff here, but was kind of expected. Supposedly there were 10 strikes near my station, but I've not heard one rumble of thunder.

AccuWeather future radar indicates a potentially busy next couple hours here in Tamaqua. I just hope the hail stays away. Back in May 2011, we had a prolific hailstorm the ruined the Dodge Stratus I owned at the time. The pic is one of the hailstones I picked up in our backyard from that storm.

First drops here, but no noise, or even lightning detection, yet... Edited to add that future radar shows more interesting stuff coming after this first slug between 6:30 and 7:30.

Of interest (whether good for storms or not) is that we were partly to mostly sunny all afternoon. Now, the clouds that we've had around are pushing south, and we have a totally cloudless sky. Just wondering if that's going to fuel bigger and better storms, or if it's going to hinder our chances for severe. 68/51 currently.

It's been sunny up in Tamaqua for about 2 hours now. Up to 63 degrees so far as well.
