FrederickWX Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Today might have been a 10 especially since it was looking rainy early in the week. A very nice day. I give it an 8. If it weren't for the chilly breeze up my way, I would have given it a 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 I missed that part of your post. I did not mean that you needed a jacket in 65 degree weather... that's pants and t-shirt weather (or shorts if it's not too windy and you're in the sun all day). I was relating the jeans+jacket to the upper 40s/50s that people were experiencing at the time of the post and that those would be history once things warmed up. Was sitting on my patio earlier with 65 and a light breeze in my t-shirt and jeans and it was great. That's a 9/10 day in my book for early April.

Ellinwood Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I'd still prefer 75 and shorts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I'd still prefer 75 and shorts 65 and shorts I went for a 4 mile walk between 4-5 pm in jeans and got HOT and it was only 59. Seasonal clothes change-over will occur this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtropics Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Still chilly IMO. I am probably moving south in a few years. I am done with these winters. I want my average april temp to be 70+ wherever I move to. That and being in a coastal town are my only requirements. I am thinking about Charleston, SC. More specifically, perhaps living in Kiawah Island, SC. So gosh darn beautiful down that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCAlexandria Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Cherry blossoms still a few days from full bloom. Man CWG is a mess of bad predictions lately with March 6, a nuanced March 25 forecast to avoid disaster and a total cherry blossom miss. Is CWG still relevant?

Deck Pic Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 It was near persperational today-a nuisance in it's own right. yes....and tomorrow gets a 10/10 according to capital warm gang....and Matt Rogers suggests that this perfect day is perfect because of the low humidity....83/59 in early April is borderline oppressive....it is going to be sticky out....if you are going to call a +20 air mass in the middle of spring absolutely perfect, just come right out an admit that you like hot humid air masses....

FrederickWX Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 To be fair however, the views here aren't exactly mainstream, which is who CWG is targeting. I overheard a lot of comments yesterday about how amazing and beautiful the weather is. The weather was a big topic of conversation everywhere, and no one had anything bad to say. If CWG were to give the day a 5/10 or something like that, most people would think they're out of their mind. Thinking this weather is bad or uncomfortable is not a view held by anyone but the most diehard cold weather lovers. That's just the reality, despite what any of us here might think. An 80 degree day in April, after months of cold weather and a miserable March is going to be deserving of a 10/10 by most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a running narrative this morning. yesterday we started out in the low 50s and dews stayed in the 40s. we have a warmer start....dews will be 10 degrees higher and it will be warmer...it is going to assuredly feel sticky out there this pm...83/58 in April will not feel like a 10 out of 10....CWG has lost their way with their warm bias...the public is not as stupidly monolithic as CWG thinks they are...and it is humid out...humid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Anyone who thinks this weather in early spring is nice really needs to f****** move to Florida. This weather SUCKS. Period. It's muggy and will be hot. A/C having to be run at night in early April is not nice. It SUCKS. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think a 65-70 degree day, with clear blue skies is perfect this time of year, and would give that a 10/10. I admit that I like warmer weather, but even for me, 80+ degrees is a bit warm for early April. I would give today a 7.5/10, and tomorrow a 7/10. Yesterday was an 8/10.

Deck Pic Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 lol..it is actually mid to upper 70 almost everywhere Not sure it could be nicer out than it is right now. 70 degrees and sunny in D.C. with light winds and low humidity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as CWG goes, perhaps they would be better off dropping the whole number grade scheme altogether. Objviously, it is very subjective, based on one or two people's opinions of what constitutes a nice day. One man's 10 is another man's 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
