It's less abnormal than a high in the upper 30s. DC's avg high is 54 by Monday.. I think anything within 10 degrees of normal is fairly normal for one day. Possibly we get higher than that for a day or two but nothing remarkable for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 cold and snow are never inevitable in these parts, while heat and humidity are...I guess that's what I find so frustrating living here anyway, I do enjoy warm days (still not the hot ones, though), and they will be here soon enough in the meantime., I'll root for every bit of snow we can get because we may not have such a favorable pattern next year (though I think we must might if current ENSO progs come close to verifying) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that would make you the happiest person alive, then why don't you move somewhere you'll never have to deal with 70+? I'm serious about that. It's actually doable.

I'm serious about that. It's actually doable. Well, it might not sit too well with the wife, since it would probaby entail a pretty big move away from her family. Before we were married, I could've done so myself, but it's still hard to move away from the place you've lived your whole life. Other than the lack of snow in winter, and the often-times intolerable summer heat and humidity; I love the Shen Valley. I know I'd love other places also, but they'd never be my "home".

Bob Chill Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 55-65 is the ultimate temp range for outdoor recreation that requires a good bit of activity. Shorts and tees in the sun unless it's windy then a sweatshirt below 60. 65-75 is the ultimate temp for hangin out in the sun. 75-85 starts pushin it for comfort but still pretty nice. Over 85 plain sucks. Breaking a sweat on my patio reading the paper after the sun is mostly down is nasty. 90+ is absolutely hideous unless you have a constant sea breeze which we don't so blah on dat.

smokeybandit Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I'd be happy just to skip spring in this area. Nothing fun about 55 and rainy. Go from cold (and snowy) right to 70+ days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
