Maybe it's just me. I like to be covered when I sleep to be comfortable so the room has to be cold in order to not sweat to death.

I agree with this, but I'm ready for a season change.

This winter has felt way longer than average...likely because we had snow by Nov 7 and it only got "warm" for a brief period in between despite temperatures averaging above normal.

Bring me warm summer nights ASAP.

Absolutely. When I lived on a 4th walkup it was absolutely brutal even with an AC.

Unless it drops below 65 at night the AC's on though I much rather having the windows open with a fan I can't sleep if its too warm or humid in the room. My house was built in 1925 and I just can't imagine how they survived back then :)

I love the days where it doesn't get dark until after 8:30 and you can sit outside and have a BBQ with the family on the deck after work. Hopefully soon we'll be able to bust out the shorts.

Yeah I know, we had no power for 6 days after Sandy and I couldn't help but wonder what those people did back in the 1700's and before. Although I guess if you never had it you don't miss it.

Those first sneaky warm days tend to over perform. It will not be a sustained warm pattern. It will vascillate back snd forth at first but next week looks like we can get our first spring type day

Yeah I wouldn't look to the models for 70 degree weather necessarily. But any day that looks like low 60s can easily turn into a 70 degree day, especially away from the coast (and can just as easily turn into a cloudy low 50s type day if the wind shifts to an onshore flow)

Some of the models want to take the Miller A for early next week and cut it towards the lakes. If that happens we'll likely warm up or a day or two before a cold frontal passage.

Well true spring is not 60s and 70s anyway. Its more like a few days of 60s and 70s, then cold and rainy, a heatwave and then back to 60s and 70s, or just constant heat or constant cold and raw. Due to our proximity to the atlantic its very rare we get a pleasant spring for an extended period of time. I will say the drawn out winter going on 5 months will make that first spring day look like cancun around here.

Before we see any big warmup, we have a strong cool shot to deal with, highs prob in the mid 40s with sub freezing lows.

This weekend into Monday prior to the front will be very nice, Sundays more of a question mark but I think we will hit 60 on Monday.

Its possible but I think Saturday is the nicest of the next 7 days with mostly sunny skies, less wind and hopefully reaching the mid or upper 50s. Sunday will likely turn cool and damp by the afternoon and evening, Monday is a question mark regarding how quickly we clear out.

It does show near 70 temps across much of the Northeast

Exactly, maybe not along the immediate coast but this looks like 60's even for NYC. Not sure what else can be expected this time of year for the folks feeling the effects from the cool ocean temps.

I'm in the process of putting together my own weather forum, not that I don't like this site, I just think it can be greatly improved.

In order to run a good weather  forum you have to be very open minded and let people express their opinions no matter how right or how wrong they may be . Also you have to realize that the majority of members are just hobbyists and their scientific knowledge ( physics, math etc, etc. is limited ) . In addition you can't be a moderator and also be "one of the guys" at the same time unless you deal with everyone fairly. The biggest problem on this forum is people putting one another down and trying to bate them into confrontations for one reason or another using personal attacks and inappropriate comments..............

I'm all for keeping banter in banter threads. That's my biggest irk with this site.

 

We shall see...it's going to be difficult to get started.

Glancing at the euro control run from 00z shows ridging into the east coast between the 7th and 12th ahead of a front.  Let see if this period f potential warmth gains traction on today's guidance.

Someone posted earlier that it showed a really wrapped up Miller A rainer.

If it's on the banter threads there shouldn't be a problem unless it get way out of hand. But model and storm discussion threads should be more tightly moderated and if they turn into trollfests like they have been, posters should get the boot if they consistently can't behave.

And that's exactly how I plan to run things

Ruggie tried to get a forum going and only a few folks were posting regularly and now he doesn't even post there - not going to be easy......
