Ian Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 As Matt said, the snow was anomalous and note-worthy. The temps...naso much. The warm days are going to be more anomalous relative to normal than today's cold temps. Even the snow wasn't all that noteworthy. It's perhaps a week later than we've seen in April in recent history but many Aprils have a T of snow at the local airports. The way it came together was quite unusual for here.. having it be 70 midday then snowing in the evening.. definitely rare in that sense. But it was novelty snow except maybe in some higher elevations or places north where it's more typical to see a little snow in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Lots of rants and complaints this morning at work about the snow and cold. I just lold at it. Really silly to be so upset over a cooler spring day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 3/10....it's f---cking beautiful out. Why have the daily digit? It just reflects poorly on CWG and undercuts their credibility as a serious weather source. They need a time of day constraint. 6am walking the dog in the sub-freezing wind - yeah, a 3. Now, way higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 The digit is obviously designed for the majority of the public who want temperatures 85-90F all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 It really confuses me. Perhaps it's the DC transplant issue. It's more of a higher standards / unrealistic expectations / love to complain issue. That applies to a lot more than just weather in DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Today was like a 4 or 5, in my opinion. It wasn't that great for mid-April. But who f***ing cares anyway? Why is it such a big deal? The bitching about the bitching is at least as bad as the original bitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bitching about the bitching is at least as bad as the original bitching. Half of the purpose of this thread is for bitching. And to me today was close to perfect. Just what I want for mid April.

Deck Pic Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 How is today a 7/10? Crisp blue skies, light breeze, sunny, and will be like 72/45 this afternoon and mid 60s this evening. I guess I don't understand what a nice day is. Hopefully the oppressive days the end of this week with +10 maxes will satisfy the degreed mets at CWG.

Ian Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I like heat but today was pretty unpleasant here at least especially since it started off rather pleasant and then we furnaced. Plus we haven't had many warm days still. On the bright side it's not the weeks of 75 degree dews that are inbound later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
