You’re making the natural progression Scooter and I and most others in here made. You’re getting closer to loving dews 

Even ineedweenies is transitioning. He was enjoying the winter warmth while sick for a week. Another 5-10 years and he will be a warm weather lover even without hormone therapy.

We all started mother nature's hormone therapy circa 2018....any guesses at where the syringe is placed??

Nope....will never enjoy that. But I am sick of useless cold and a hobby that is more rewarding.

I think you will . It’s coming

It literally happens to almost everyone in here . Just at different times

Well, I've done it......I've viewed the CMC and I feel dirty.

Didn't we here that from you a couple of days ago?

I have to admit, right after he posted that so did I. It's just so wrong, I know better than that

Because warm wx without dews is boring and is generally associated with boredom. Dews keep you warm at night outside , no need for hoodies etc.. and always risks of storms . Warm and dry is akin to cold and dry. BOREDOM 

ah.. gotcha...

i guess we all want what we want from the weather.

 personally, i do so much outdoorsy stuff from bike rides to disk golf turneys to regular golf to tennis, and boogie boarding...  all of which is mitigated by excessive dps.  save for the waves perhaps. 

i've always been partial to those evenings in the summer where the air is kinetircally charged with out the dp weight.  7 pm and there's like this metallic warmth ...the breeze is soothing.  pure energy. the sun is no longer blaring down like your shoulders like a 50 lb ream of roofing shingles, and your ballz aren't default stuck to the sides.

He's already planning his trip up to  the AK North Slope to see the dawn redwoods and ginkgoes growing.

Want to know what's messed up? I'd prefer nothing over that verifying.

06z EURO did appear to be moving in the direction of the CMC...at least relative to it's 00z snooze-fest.

[Typhoon Tip]

ho wow man...  imagine the deliciousness in schadenfreude if this ukmet run scores.   and before you ask, no - it's not coming up here given everything  

priceless -

[40/70 Benchmark]

I call BS on the GFS bifurcating the energy parcels like that on approach...pretty sure we get something out of the follow up deal. 00z EURO was just a bit too far N with the H5 low...easily correctable, especially with more PNA trends.

Hold off on taking a total L.

[40/70 Benchmark]

There has been a trend dating back several days to delay the decay of that western ridge...not sure who could have foreseen that months ago (raises hand). Decent shot it's got a bit more to go there.

I'm gonna go ahead and take a different approach here, Ray.   I mean I'm not trying to abase what your saying ... I'm just going go with persistence.

It's hard to knock it.   At some point, the onus is on reality to start proving the models wrong.  Which ... they may not precisely be right in how it gets done, but the principle/law of least action ( Law of least action is real in physical philosophy btw - ) has been winning too long.  Anytime the models put out a solution that at least shows how nothing will happen, time to start taking them seriously.

As we all know I am an extreme wx junkie. I want to maximize everything. Dews, snows, wind , heat , cold , damage. It literally dictates a significant part of my psyche and my life . Weather boredom absolutely kills me

Just give up. Almost time for the Mets to have another disappointing season.

Totally fair. We'll see.

[Kitz Craver]

It’s amazing how far off the EURO and GFS are from any semblance of the 15/16 event. Not even close to a chance of it happening. The follow up looks like trash as well on the EURO, good times.

[weatherwiz]

I don't understand the idea of telling people who hate the cold to just move down South lol. Nobody likes the cold, some people may tolerate the cold better than others, but nobody likes it. For those that "like" the cold, how long are you sitting outside during the day? How many lawn games are you playing? How often are you sitting pool side? The extent of your outside activities is probably just walking to your car and then walking inside to wherever you're going, then back to your car, then back inside your house.

Euro says you’ll get nothing from either system and like it

I’m outside in the cold quite a bit, but I have started to enjoy the warm season more and more.

There are also life things that play into that… winter life vs summer life.  But man, late sunsets when it’s 80 degrees and what feels like two hours of twilight from 7-9pm… that’s what I love.

Hate 84/68 at 1:30pm lol.

Anyway, looks like we’ll take the 15th event and turn it into a nice refresher up here.
