VAsnowlvr82 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Yup spring sucks. It's not cold enough for snow and it's not warm enough for shorts and pool weather. Wish we could fast forward to June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtropics Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Not me...if it was up to me, it would be winter from late October to May at least. Spring in June, summer in July and early August, fall from late August to late October. You really should move to Alaska... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterymix Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I'm thinking the high country of Colorado or a nice town in the Alps, or Banff, or Vancouver or perhaps southern Chile would be sweet. We struggle so much here for some tidbits of actual winter and the three H's "hazy, hot and humid" come so easily to us here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I don't hate it. In fact, I love going down to Williamsburg in the spring once it warms up. They really do a great job with the flowers, landscaping, etc. I just find certain pollen uncomfortable, namely, oak trees. Once June hits, the pollen issue is over for me, though I know that's not the case for some. Don't ever move out this way then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, son is out near Breckenridge, I've been there in July, Sept and Dec so far and going back in May. It is REALLY growing on me as a place to move to.

WEATHER53 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Quiet around here. Kinda bummer but the tulips are starting to show. Spring nice in DC, 60 days of summer not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would classify summer here as at least 120 days..... and longer than that most years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 60? I would classify summer here as at least 120 days..... and longer than that most years. Whatever the first day temp hits 80 until last day it tops 80.......summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Whatever the first day temp hits 80 until last day it tops 80.......summer. Agreed for the most part. To me, May (usually) is a summer month, as is Sep., although i start celebrating fall on Sep 1... just can't wait to begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacChump Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I love every season..that's one of the reasons I'm still living here. I'll never understand why people hate summer, either. Yeah it's muggy, but we're also treated to thunderstorm activity, barbecues, nights filled with the sound of crickets and cicadas, and the smell of gun powder on the eve of the 4th. I love it. oh god...agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in CO front range (Boulder/Denver) for 6 years and realized when I left that I hadn't had a mosquito bite in 6 years. No one had allergy issues. Would bike around Denver in 90+ degree heat and never feel a drop of sweat on me. Then some afternoons, watching discrete towers blow up was epic. From roughly October to March it rarely rained, everything that fell was snow. Then three days later it was 60 degrees. Best all around weather of anywhere I've lived by a mile.

My cousin's daughter and husband moved to Denver. They love it. I visited them last fall and absolutely fell in love with Denver. Going back this summer to see a concert at Red Rocks.

das Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 My list: 1) Winter 2) Fall 3) Spring 4) Summer Get outta my head! Winter because, well, it's winter. Fall is next because it's heading towards winter. Spring because, if we are lucky, it can imitate winter sometimes, especially early and summer is a distant last. Any temp above 60F is just drudgery to me. I spent 5 years in Fresno going to school and that cured me of ever wanting to experience heat again in my life. My wife and I have 3 potential places picked out for retirement in umpteen years when I retire: 1) Allegheny Range from WV thru Western MD up to Western PA, 2) VT / NH or 3) Quebec. We will be the right definition of "snow birds". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When wife was alive we considered it our second home and actually looked for a while to buy a place to call our own but never found exactly what we wanted. Son is in Breckenridge now and I've been there several times, beautiful there as well. I'll be doing a real "snow bird" as well in retirement.

EastCoast NPZ Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 My mood goes completely downhill as soon as it starts getting hot. If it's 75 it might as well be 750 to me.

mattie g Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Mornings like these are miserable, but worth dealing with in order to get to warm weather. I can't wait until the winter weenies disappear for another 7-8 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
