  1. I've seen heavy frost here in the coal region as late as Memorial Day weekend, so cold is not out of the question until we get to June. At least anomalous events like that are USUALLY short lived. As for April cold, I've often said that April can be a cruel month for those looking to break out into spring mode.
  2. I've been saying for years now, that April can be a very cruel month. Most (even a lot of winter/snow lovers) have gone over to Spring mode. The tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, etc are popping out and growing, and then, bam...one or more arctic blasts with snow potential.
  3. And that's what sucks the most. Even nature has put out the tulips, hyacinths, some tree leaves, etc. Temps in the teens kill or damage the tender vegetation. A mid-winter torch does not cause as many problems as a spring freeze...
  4. Stop posting dirty pictures in my thread....
  5. No. It's all good. I just don't understand it. I love warm weather, but I don't really want 70 or 80 on Christmas Day. It's supposed to be cold, and perhaps snowy here at that time.
  6. Why...seriously, would any of you want a frigid Easter? I understand loving cold and snow, but Easter is a time for spring flowers and sun dresses and such. Not parkas and long underwear...
  7. CTP indicating 45 mph gusts in my zone forecast...
  8. Being that I'm the forum Warmanista, I figured it appropriate for me to start a thread for discussion of all topics and events of the Spring equinox.
  9. Yup, that's the time frame I remember. At that time I wasn't driving a truck yet and loved snow, and it was heartbreaking watching on the Philly news how Atlantic City was digging out of 15-18 inches of snow and all we got in Bethlehem was an overcast, cold day with flurries.
  10. I'm strange as a weather enthusiest. I love sunny, warm, benign days, yet when a storm threatens (even winter storms) I root for them to verify and hit my area hard. I guess I am truly a weather "nut"... lol
  11. I'd love to be able to work from home on an "when I feel like it" basis (snowstorms) but I'm a truck driver. There's no working from home for me...lol
  12. Yup. Mine is my career choice and driving and working in ice and snow. Chasing a storm on the models is fun, but then reality hits...
  13. I don't remember it, but I wish it would have come true...
  14. Ran through a decent little squall in Hometown over to the I-81 interchange by Mahanoy City on 54. Otherwise, not much.
  15. I meant to put that in my original post. It's seems like the non-advisory events are often much more impressive the the ones that do get an advisory.
  16. Crazy wind gusts here today. One gust did something that never happened before. I have a Rubbermaid trash can that I use to store garden items...fertilizer, weed killer, small tools, etc, and the wind literally ripped the snap tight lid right off it.
  17. That was the winter of the saints. We had the St Valentine's Day massacre, and then we had the St Patrick's Day storm.
  18. You and I think very much alike. I prefer my snow in DJF. By March, I want to start thawing out...
  19. A 330 hr Kuchera snow map? What could possibly go wrong???
  20. Go read the Central PA thread. They don't think we're done yet. And some of the models agree...
