That was exactly my thinking when I was your age. Three years ago I came down kicking and screaming. This year is so different for me. I think if I rode like you do it might be different but that also gets tougher with advancing age.

Far from Tampa. Naples is our base. Even the beaches on a warm day are not crowded. The only traffic I’ve been in was when I drove up to RSW to pick up our daughter and bf who came down for the weekend of 3/8. And it was minimal by Boston standards.

The east coast of Florida is a congested high stress area. We’ve been on the west coast and it’s much more livable. But yeah summer is rough. Besides, New England summers are our crown jewel. I no longer ski and really don’t want to be relegated to an indoor life for months at a time. Boston is also the center of people who think they shit ice cream. It’s tiresome. I am surprised by how much I’ve enjoyed being down here this time. It happens to many of us.

Speaking of Savannah, we’ll be there Friday to Monday-breaking camp from Naples Friday morning-will miss the 80s. Should be home in New England miserable spring wx next Tuesday night. Next winter probably 2-3 months in FL always with the option of flying home for a big snow and returning after the dopamine drip stops as in storm leaves.

Steve, those eps charts aren’t helpful. If you have extreme outliers it affects the mean too much even with an N of 51. Show us the spaghetti.

We are in that beloved season of temperature talk.
-
For about 7-10 days then the escalator goes up
-
Roy’s warming up. I’m giving it another couple of days but the muted cold shouldn’t surprise people. A dry hot July awaits.

Valuing our vehicles to that extent is decidedly a first world problem…

10 above normal ain’t hay.

Into the freezer is a bit strong on the wording..
-
Which is 55 or so in mph

You got like 5 inches in NH on 3/9 after a 10 day weenie fest and that’s a big storm? Just because it’s bigger than other systems this season doesn’t mean it didn’t under perform.
-
Every one of these has failed-100% and yet some keep hitting them. Know the personality of the season.
-
Interesting down here in Florida local’s are saying this is mid April wx. I suspect we’re going to roast July/August.
-
They weren’t as bad as this year….

I held on until age 74 when I deemed it prudent to minimize my back strain. But in fairness, during my 60 hour per week work years I hired people beginning at age 69.

Sure looks like the Euro won this battle.

A lovely (to me) late afternoon with a glass of Jamieson/rocks. We had training storms overnight and morning today but it seems we're clearing out. Either way, my 4 mile rt walk for coffee featured clouds and 78/70. My skin is happy! So liberating not to chase snow in a ratter. Maybe next year....or maybe April, or who knows?

SREFs is a NAM model so….

Rolling through lower SC en route to Savannah tonight. We went through the cutoff and got rain from Richmond down to near the SC border. Temps dropped to the low to mod 50s. As soon as we got out of it temperatures rose 10 degrees. Currently 59 in rural SC and clear. Tomorrow we go into summer from Savannah to Naples.

No doubt winter is dark and wet but huge snows are not far away. I went to paradise ranger station around June of 1990. It is fairly low in elevation but has booked 1000 inches in a season.
-
Yup. We’re outta here tomorrow but unfortunately will be back by the final days of March which spares us some but certainly not all of the awful spring we typically get.

I spent a lot of time there 35 years ago when I was frequently visiting a gf there. Got to see a lot-had Starbucks before anyone ever heard of it…lol.

It’s actually pretty amazing. Summers are dry and beautiful with long days and light until close to 9:30-10pm in high summer. You’re within 90 minutes of epic snows in winter with the occasional snower into the city.
