That’s the biggest difference I see and that kind of brings us into the summer vibe.

I think we’ve made it past the worst part of spring cold rains. Most days looking forward look AOA normal temperature wise and plenty of sun.

Confusion can be an illusion. I usually trust perfusion. Bad timing on shitty weekends but that’s the way the proverbial cookie crumbles. Some here rush the seasons. This is the 5th year I’m teaching my course and the first few classes always have cooler temperatures than one envisions. This year the same.

That signal has started to show the past few days. It is growing legs.

My buddies and me did the Franconia Ridge in early May 1975 with snow showers at the base but thankfully dry on the ridge. Quite the slog through areas of deep snow in the way up via the falling waters trail. Of course a few months later we had legendary heat. Some of the guys are gone but most still here albeit many in steep decline. I’m enjoying good fortune while it lasts although my spinal stenosis and aches and pains in joints occasionally plague me. My philosophy is push through what you can…

Gorgeous day especially by comparison of the majority recently.

Why not?

I’ll turn 110 that year in December. Big party planning in the works!

I won’t be flying back. I learned that lesson last year. Big ones actually have a negative impact for me now. Eg: walking at the height of a storm was always what I lived for. Enjoying it with like minded friends also. Not possible when everyone is separated and walking in the street can easily get me killed by a plow. It’s been a fun run with winter but I now understand why all the old school snow loving great tv mets moved to Florida in their old age. Coming back in February made me realize that had we gotten 3 feet like areas 50 miles south I’d have been stuck at home for weeks on end. I’ve skated, skied, snowshoed, walked in winter. I’ll be 80 as winter begins next year. I’m done.

We’ll be in FL for 2 months next winter….mid January-mid March. FL experienced widespread severe wx during the winter of 97-98 which is unusual but the coming Nino may be a decent analogue. We’ll see how nao behaves.

Talk to us in a week.

It’s turned into a nice day. Sunny and 63.

For those without central ac, I would advise getting it before you list your home for sale. Many buyers won’t consider the house without. Probably less of an issue once in NNE.

And 9 miles away I’m 21 degrees above BOS

I ran my ac for sleeping. Bedtime 76 in the master bedroom so for me a no brainer.

Still 69. Everyone’s favorite temperature. Time for a walk.

I love how Anthony can’t post anything inside of d10 for winter hope….and now we’re nearly into May. When was the last time NYC had snow that late? I remember a 2-4” event in April 1956.

Sun breaking through and we’re up to 64 already.

I removed the cover for the a/c compressor. If need be sleeping comfort is a touch screen away. But it’s way too early to expect consistent warmth around here.

It’s not a blocking signal. Weak signal at all actually but enjoy the delusion.

When Roy sings take notice

Been in Chicago since Sunday. Yesterday tickled close to 80 with storms at night. Another round ending now but we look active. Unfortunately temps will be cold tomorrow but back up again Thursday with plenty of action all week.

My issue with getting another dog is what if he/she lives 12-15 years? Good chance I won’t. And if I do will I be able to care for the dog in my 90s?
