Nittany88 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 you can always put clothes on, not much escaping heat if you are outside. But why would you want to? Given the choice between a shirt and a light jacket in sunny and 40F and a full on winter coat in hats and gloves at 10F, who in their right mind would choose that? I get the fascination with snow storms and the skiing industry and what not (I don't enjoy it, but I know people do). But I never understand why some people need it to be brutally cold. Wouldn't you want to enjoy that in nicer weather post-storm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I don't think many people would choose 95/72 over 80/50 except at the beach, but the same can be said in the winter when most normal people would easily take 40 over 10. Don't understand the "fetish" with COLD weather either. Pretty tough getting snow in the winter with temps in the 40's, Balls cold we can take in shots unlike this winter,But really don't need Vodka cold thru out, You need to get things to freeze up some how, And its going to have to be below 32F to achieve that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 you can always put clothes on, not much escaping heat if you are outside. We all can guess the hhh crowd loves to be sitting indoors at 72F during a hhh spell staring out the kitchen window over their weather guage with druel dripping down their chin.

CoastalWx Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 what's the connection with -AMO and heat/humidity? (I know the connection with less snow!) Well warm east coast summers are well correlated with a +AMO with waters usually warmer than normal just offshore and basically the whole Atlantic pattern in general supports ridging in the east.

I don't mind the cold because you can always bundle up for it. When it's balls hot, there is little to do for preparation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peeps who live here need to come to grips that it's gonna be cold and it's gonna snow.

Ha I would go with more of a burning sensation. But you can argue that HHH is a key ingredient in severe weather, warmer ocean temperatures, and tropical weather. So yeah to each his own I guess.

There is no doubt which season is more favored on this board, Just check the post counts, Now is it because in the summer more people are outdoors enjoying the weather and not behind a keyboard, Or because they are all snug as a bug in the rug indoors in the winter because its cold out and pass the time away chatting on a bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 The sun angle this time of year is horrible. Maybe a sloppy inch in well shaded areas. pa-lease, that sun angle argument is way overrated.... If it snows hard enough in mid to late July, it will stick!

CoastalWx Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 The best is the warm ground argument in a month like December. I remember hearing that last December after the torch we had near Christmas.

Typhoon Tip Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I don't mind the cold because you can always bundle up for it. When it's balls hot, there is little to do for preparation. exactly! I'm a weird sadist about heat, tho. Only cuz I find the synoptics that lead up to heat wave as quite trackable and fascinating. I guess I could do without the physical impact, but still think it's interesting? doesn't that make any sense? The whole thing with the Sonoran Heat Release has actual simple markers to look for in the atmosphere. They go like ... 1) antecedent flat or modestly positive PNAP flow, where plateau air is trapped in the SW and around the Sonoran air bake region of the continent. 2) troughing ...often times one known as an "outside slider" rolls down the California Coast. 3) probably the most important factor; the tele that correlates central/eastern Canada needs to go positive as this slider is-a rollin'. That lifts the mean latitude of the westerlies and either serves to retrograde WAR, or establish a new STR altogether. 1 --> 2 --> 3 --> big ejection of EML/continental cT air with those dragon fart 850s quite tappable in a well mixe plumes pull out into the Plain and conveyor on through the Lakes/ S Canada, and eventually ...us. Thing is, since that whole index relay and subsequent heat-related consequences can be so extreme, I am not sure why heat domes are not up there with the other big recognizable things. Like you say, if it's cold, grab a coat. But if you're down to nut sack on sofa for clothes and you're still sweating ...that's way more than a mere inconvenience.
