I, for one, am VERY upset that I was not mentioned by name. I knew I should’ve reaped you when I had the chance.
I came to this place because it was an opportunity to share my love of wx with others and despite the absurdity of this place the fundamental love of wx is what keeps me here.
Cheers
We get some real nice days in March and April down here. It’s not misery mist ATT like eastern Mass and mud in NNE. I actually like CT springs for the most part.
We’ve had some good wintry months in March too obviously. I think that first warm stretch when we have a higher sun angle and more daylight though triggers the desire for a new season. I enjoy every season we get. I don’t really want 60° on March 1 any more than I want 30° (high) on March 20.
I’m not quite there yet, but I’ll be pulling for warmth soon if we can’t get snow/ice production going again. We’re on the Climo clock anyway down here. March can be a very wintry month but after the 15th or so it becomes tough sledding.
That was interesting. IIRC that Memorial Day weekend was miserable though.
I appreciate that it hasn’t been a blowtorch, but every time a southern city verifies what would be a warning level event here—when I’ve gotten nowhere close—the season loses a letter grade. First New Orleans & Pensacola. Now Virginia Beach. It’s unacceptable.
I mean I was prescient enough to cancel winter in January. But 70s and sun is nowhere around the corner so we might as well hold onto pack as long as the cold is around.
I think it’s just another tool in the toolbox. It rarely ever leads. In my tropical tracking, it led the way with Beryl’s landfall zone but that’s about it.
Honestly, we need less eye candy and just continued production. I can live with 2-4, 3-5” events every few days that build on the current glacier. Although reaching climo is probably lost to some of us, I don’t think wintry events are done in SNE.
Weird year. I want to give it an F but I don’t know if I can given the snowfall retention, white Christmas, and below zero temperature in January. I’m still sub 20”.
32.3°
Neighbor used their snowblower to clear the sidewalk…and unfortunately threw all of the dirt and muddy water right on top of my previously pristine pack.
It looks like a Scooter streak across my front yard. The watery and poorly timed kind.
