Hey warmininistas.....today is a small price to pay for what's on the way Sunday and beyond

I lived in Bristol CT at the time we r had a solid foot of pretty dense snow before 1.5 inches of sleet and then a quick but wild burst of 2.5 inches on the backside giving us 16 inches. The backside snows were not widespread, we just got lucky in central and I think western CT had it too. But we had no snow on the ground prior. I will never forget the wind on the backside of that thing that Sunday with gusts over 50 mph bright sunshine and mid afternoon temperatures in the low teens.

Superstorm 93 was epic on so many levels. The certainty almost a week out. It had been a decade since I had seen March snow that didn't just accumulate on grassy surfaces. The sunny but cold calm quiet day before and the craziness at the gas stations and supermarkets. I was 19 and worked for Stop and Shop at the time. It was the first time I had een more than a foot of snow since the Feb 83 storm.

Yup I remember the cold too like it was yesterday. I think there were afternoons that struggled to hit 10 above but with 15 to 25 mph northerly winds and who can forget the sleet fest in Jan 93 I think where it was just below 10 degrees with 2 to 3 inches of pure sleet...wild stuff

92-93 and 93-94 are etched in my memory forever. They proved that real winter weather had finally returned. Outside of 87-88 we had suffered some rough years prior.

Lolol that GFS is like a dog with a bone sometimes. I will enjoy my low to mid 70s and cool morning lows in the 50s the rest of the week.

This year is probably anamomolous but still I think it's climo kicking in just a little to offset the off the chart activity of the past couple decades. The world's basically on fire. It's only a matter of time before there are more catastrophic hurricanes to track. Although science isn't necessarily logical it doesn't seem far fetched that in a warming climate there will be more wild swings in activity and volatility. It wouldn't surprise me if there wasn't some Bay of Campeche monster later this fall just when everyone was ready to close the blinds.

Love these temps. Heck of a way to run a torch..

There were a couple Mets and enthusiasts in the New England forum that strongly hinted at this possibility months ago. Hats off to those gentlemen so far.

Yes we can and it's about time to give folks in hurricane prone areas a breather. It's been ridiculously active the last couple decades.

I only check in here from time to time but over the years I have noticed of all the big US land falling hurricanes hardly anyone discusses Camille. I have seen a few documentaries recently and although the better data was in its infancy, this hurricane seems like she could stand solidly against not only any other land falling cat 5s but cat 5s period Just wondering thats all

You have become quite the glass is half empty kind of fella. Hate to see it.

We just might scrape together a poor man's heatwave tomorrow if we can hit 90f on the tarmac at bdl

No Parts of Fairfield County have BDL beat

Finally! Someone with some common sense. I love winter, even when it's Stein
