Tropopause_Fold Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Wait until April comes. yeah another reason why i hate spring. we need at least a good coastal with some coastal flooding/high winds/inland flooding or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I can't take gyms. LOL All the humanity around me sweating, coughing, boredom sitting on some machine or treadmill, stale indoor air... Give me a trail for hiking or some shoeing any day. Or kayaking which has to be good for the upper body.... You need a nice combo of both. I'm trying to do a little more cardio myself, but I'm not a big fan of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a trail for hiking or some showing any day. Or kayaking which has to be good for the upper body.... Oh I hear you. I try to run outside once in a while. There's a nice path near me along a river that flows into the harbor. I basically just do my thing, and then leave. I'm not the type to yap about politics and what not, like some do at the gym.

Damage In Tolland Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 My wife wants one of those Subaru Outback type deals, but I'm not big on them. At least you have the SUV weenie mobile. Kevin lost his nads and bought a Camry. That wasn't what my heart wanted..but my head and common sense said I had to. I'll put 20-25K on it per yr once i get my territory later this summer. I had narrowed it down to a Highlander and a Camry. I've had SUV's as my last 3 vehicles..so this was tough..but gas mileage wise..even though i get reimbursed for it..made the most sense. Jen drove and Outback before we had the kids. Now we have a Sienna You'll be there soon enough rest assured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 you must be happy to not have to drive the prius in the snow anymore. I was surprised how good the Prius was... especially considering during snowstorms I'm leaving for work at 2 a.m. in the morning and stuff. It really was good.

That's a sweet deal for you to get reimbursed. You lucky bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 It should be fun. You guys have a million lakes and ocean inlets, etc. also. I have the Mohawk River, some smaller nearby lakes and Otsego Lake near Cooperstown that is a fav. of mine. Or I can drive a little and the Dacks have tons of lakes being that Canadian shield geologic structure. I just bought a kayak in November. Can't wait to take her out on her maiden voyage.

Said I could drive hers and she'd get the new one. Had to drop the hammer on that idea. ME FTW They're actually great for kids and travelling and stuff. You'll have one once the kids come.

ski MRG Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Nice day. Cold. Deep snow. People getting lulled into thinking no more Winter storms. Reversal of fortunes this March/April over the last few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 We are certainly due..... When was the last big snowstorm after March 1? I can't recall any in 08, 09, or 10. I guess St. Pats Day 2007 for here and April 15, 2007. Nice day. Cold. Deep snow. People getting lulled into thinking no more Winter storms. Reversal of fortunes this March/April over the last few.

Tropopause_Fold Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 hopefully we can get that frontal boundary through the region earlier. gfs still has a very sharp temp drop and flips the area over to some wintry precip at the tail end of the event. those not-so-good precip algorithms on the coolwx page even have ZR at CHH.

Yeah there are still some signals for another wave to develop to flip some to wintry precip. 2m temps may also not do it justice, because they start to become a little warm in certain situations this time of year. We probably won't know until tomorrow or even Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess St. Pats Day 2007 for here and April 15, 2007. Agreed. I had 6.1" on 3/1/08, and 5.6" on 3/2/09. Those are the only 4" storms post-3/1 since April of 2007. Of course, 2007 saw 5 such storms in March/April, and far more April snow (37.2") than the total for all my other 11 Aprils here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
