ctsnowstorm628 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Spring sucks. Just fast forward to Memorial Day weekend. I cannot agree with that. Played baseball for 16 years, and there's nothing better than a 60F sunny day with leaves budding while taking down your HS rivals. Nothing beats it. Unless its 25F and dumping 3"/hr of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could have a nice DC Spring, then I'm all for it. Instead it's a c*ck tease of warmth, then blue ball drizzle into May. I despise those days. Not to mention that boring weather. The only thing interesting is the occasional Ginx cutoff low. Watch March and April torch, and then May becomes a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep easily the worst season of the year for weather here...esp in eastern New England. You get some nice days, but all too often there are horrific east winds with low clouds and drizzle. To top it off, nothing remotely interesting to track in spring once climo becomes too strong against snow events. If you love interesting weather, then spring is a horrible season here...fall might be even worse but at least its much better for outdoor activities.

Fall can be boring, but it's the change of seasons which I love. The wx usually is nice, first crisp arrival of colder air..etc. Gets us in the mood for winter (except this year). I'm sure Joe and others think we're being negative, but Spring is like an 8-10 week tease of warm and cold combined with boredom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsnowstorm628 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I wonder if LL stays in the 40 s for the two day warmup . Probably not in Fairfield county, but GON may stay around 50F while Montville/Ledyard gets to 60F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could have Apr-Sep 77F and sunny...I would. I hear you. If its not dumping snow, I would love it to be 80F with a touch of humidity, or even warmer. Only thing I like about warmer and more humid days, is the amazing nights they have to offer. Nothing like walking out at midnight and having it be 70F.

CoastalWx Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I probably am a little cranky. I'm usually pretty level headed, but this winter left a foul taste in my mouth. This is as grouchy as you'll ever see me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny...I find myself hating the hot weather more and more. I will say that it makes for nice nights maybe having some beers out on the waterfront (nice thing to have over here)..but I don't enjoy as much now, like I did when I was much younger. Of course if I had a pool or beachhouse, it would be different. Hot weather is good for a beach or pool party deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Joe and others think we're being negative, but Spring is like an 8-10 week tease of warm and cold combined with boredom. ITs a process, an evolution just like fall, a step up as opposed to step down, its a season thats the way I look at it. I just try and enjoy the ups and downs of each season the ebb and flow. After receiving 11.8 inches of snow, this disaster of a winter can not end quick enough, obviously I am also biased because of work. For people that have snow on the ground its much different, and I totally understand that and appreciate it. Nothing worse than bare ground and upper 30s dark and dreary, so for me bring on the warmth, and the fact it will be light out till almost 8 pm on Sunday makes it even better.........hopefully winter 13' will bring snow, this year absolutely sucked, a year after the 2nd best winter of my life behind 95'96'.

CoastalWx Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 It has been notee. Never seen this side of you on here. You need an April bookend LOL, I know. I guess it's just disappointing to have a season like I just did..especially when you look forward to it since July. But, it makes you appreciate winters like last year more and more. I know we will always have dead ratters, but the way I got porked really irks me. 3.9" was my biggest storm and it was gone in about 2.5 days. Just awful. Ok, done venting. Literally everyone around me did better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctsnowstorm628 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Hook line sinker I'll keep all y'all updated on what my Davis says Thursday in Westbrook. Usually in a really good transition zone 3 miles off the coast in CT between the sea breeze and warm interior airmass. Often GON can be 50F, BDL 70F and my house will be literally be smack dab in between at like 61F or something. That why I'm really looking at SST's 3-5F above average and looking to see that trend into the later spring and summer. Cool stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I mean it's nice getting a seabreeze here and there. I try to make the best out of it, living near the water in the summer. Some good times to be had. My disdain for the heat stems from working all summer in it. I remember having to go home during a bad heatwave in July '99. I literally was seeing double. I was never one to complain or know when to stop which was stupid on my part..but I had to leave..lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did you leave SRI? That area is awesome other than the winter, but even then a coastal storm in winter is beautiful in its own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RI is even more drastic due to open ocean, the terminal moraine which hugs the coast is often the demarcation line, you can go from 70 to 50 in a mile or less.
