Atlanta, Birmingham, Mobile, heck, maybe Austin or Miami are more for you guys. This weather in December flat sucks. If it's Thanksgiving thru February 15th, if it's not going to be cold and snowy, it should be cold and sunny. This weather isn't that unusual for here in December.. especially just a day or two of it, at least lately. Avgs are still around 50.. you might need to move north if you want it to be cold and snowy or cold and sunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well get some enjoyment out of the weather, and I can't enjoy cold and dry at all. To each their own and all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, once it gets below 45-50, it starts going from refreshing to annoying. Though I can say a similar thing about it getting above 85-90. I think 45-85 is my comfort range, and preferably 50-80...but I'll take a couple days of cold for a snowstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I would think Denver's "fortune" is more related to being in good line for ambushes from Canadian air masses. Usually being on the leeside of mtns isn't that helpful for great weather.. and is why the area is fairly arid. Elevation is important for those quick flips too, plus you get the gradual upslope heading into spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldie 22 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I can enjoy a nice day regardless of when it falls....still doesn't mean that it doesn't stink knowing we have 60's in December and the prospects of more later in the period. Still....lovely day out so enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Lots of 70s showing up on the PWSs. DCA's record is 70, but I don't know if we'll get the off-river kick like we do in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pleased since I mentioned we'd be pusing 70 in my CWG piece last Tuesday. Of course I said that after reading Ian's call either here on the MA Medium range thread.
