Mr Torchey Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 i don't approach things that way. like i said yesterday, i'll welcome any winter storm that wants to come this way. at some point in the not-too-distant future i'll start looking forward to spring weather because that's just how my internal clock works...but i'm not there yet. i don't pretend. it's stupid. hmmm I read a post of yours yesterday or the day before in the banter thread that said you were close, certainly some frustration in it. Anyways, nothing says winter, and pattern change like bdl at +9.8 and orh at +8.1 so far this month. Looks like we will see 2-3 days of below normal weather, perhaps only two, sun and mon, before we are right back into the fire. THe pattern changed, just did not produce. Rapidly gaining daylight, which is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I think if we see this crap a month from now, I'll be there too. It's Feb 8th, to hope for Spring wx around the corner is beyond failure. Scott, its been early spring almost the entire winter, where have you been, seriously? 40s and 50s almost daily, its been awesome, and its dry, early april all winter.

It's in the low 20s right now. It will be near 0 Monday morning. Sure seems like April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Feb 8th, to hope for Spring wx around the corner is beyond failure. yeah the only thing i really can't take much more of is quiet weather. the lack of snow/cold is frustrating but even more so i don't get any enjoyment out of dry and mild. i don't care how many of these :sun: :sun: people want to post, if you like the weather...there is very little that is meteorologically entertaining about this pattern.

Maybe 50 degrees causes some movement in the jeans of a certain poster in SW CT, but it's useless wx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yeah, that will be his daughter, next week. Sledding on top of the 15 yards of mulch he's getting ready to spread. With your beloved GFS about to fail flat on its face again for the umpteenth time this winter..I can understand why you're trying to bring down everyones enthusiasm for the snow this weekend. But for me..I'm really looking forward to a couple inches of powder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 There is no denying is has been warm, it has. But if you think the anomalies will continue right through the Spring, is doesn't work like that. Maybe one or two of the months is above normal, but we've had awful Springs after warm winters. I hope we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 45 -50 and sunny doesn't do it for me. Maybe 50 degrees causes some movement in the jeans of a certain poster in SW CT, but it's useless wx. i pretty much like the seasons when they fit the calendar. i'll be fine with sunny and 40s/50s when climo says it's time for that. i don't pretend to enjoy it in jan and feb. it doesn't ruin my life and i don't have to declare "winter cancelled" but i'd prefer cold/snow. that's the way i am. i'll even take arctic cold and dry as it at least adds an element of uncertainty and abnormality to the weather. but a day that comes in +7 in early february with partly sunny skies...meh. that's about as boring as it can possibly be.

Mr Torchey Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 It's in the low 20s right now. It will be near 0 Monday morning. Sure seems like April. Yes it does seem like april, especially with a departure of +9.8 at bdl, or +8.1 at orh. Sure, pick a couple days that fit into how you paint this winter, the numbers speak for themselves. There have been countless spring like days, and without mud. So, we have a couple days of winter, then its right back into the fire, so whats your point???????

Different strokes for different folks. Some stroke to 50 in Feb, that's fine. But I agree, the one legacy that this winter has going for it, is boredom. Even the cold and dry is kind of cool for the reasons you stated. I enjoy a good cold snap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 every single winter that blows we hear about how the spring is going to suck too.........really, why? No mud this season, its been an oven, and looks to continue to be one after a brief cold shot. Love how the spring gloom and doomers come out, its hysterical and right on point. This winter sucked, and it broke our hearts...............life goes on. 21 days until spring and it cant get here fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Having people call for Spring wx, is akin to messenger saying we should trade Brady and we'll never make the playoffs again. Both are delusional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 it's pretty simple..I want it cold and snowy in winter..and hot and stormy in summer. I want the season to perform like seasons.. Spring should be mild and fall should be cool to chilly. It doesn't work that way always and when it doesn't it affects all of us in different ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Certain posters outside of Philly too I know you hate the cold, but 45-50 is one of the useless temp ranges, unless you want the inside of your car warm. That's just me..lol. It's not until temps are 60 or better where I feel it's more conducive for outside stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are far from that. Scott, we have had many many many days in the 50s, and a few in the 60s this winter on the cp, whatever man. Snow is my love, but if its not going to snow be warm, days like today are USELESS, in my opinion, nothing to do with the "cold" We obviously enjoy different things and thats ok, if its not going to snow or have snow on the ground I would prefer it to be warm, you would prefer it cold even if there is no snow falling or on the ground, and thats fine.

CoastalWx Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 how did Euro ensembles loook for this weekend coastal? A little better than 12z, but the op run is the most bullish right now.
