WinterWxLuvr Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 +1 Was already out there cleaning up a pile of branches from the upper third of a dead standing tree that fell off during our wind driven spring deluge earlier in the week. Get the cars washed...at least the road salt is mostly gone from that heavy rain. I just went for a run and dressed Feb style, long sleeves, sweatshirt....big mistake. I roasted. Really nice day. Days like this make me wish the ens would show a west coast trough to Acapulco and an east coast ridge to Ottawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I've had both. Don't remember any trouble with either. Just make sure to ask about warranties on the hardware. A quality door will offer lifetime warranties on the door-hardware finish. I've found that to be the biggest issue with doors. Low-quality hardware will oxidize over time and look like crap. Depending on sun exposure, you may want to think about low e glass. IF you have a lot of sun exposure, especially low-angle exposure, don't forget to consider the color of your entry door. Dark colors can turn the space between the doors into an oven. With non-vented storm doors, I've seen this cause paint-bubbling and even warpage of the entry door. Thanks for the tips! And definitely agree on the warranty for the door-hardware finish. Luckily there's no direct sunlight on the door but I am going to get a door with the pull down screen built in - I'm over taking out a glass panel to add the screen when I want ventilation.

Early March showing up on the EPS...I want to see a SE ridge or at least a zonal flow. I'm done with winter in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Days like this make me wish the ens would show a west coast trough to Acapulco and an east coast ridge to Ottawa. It wont be long. Hopefully we can get one more event in early March. Was outside looking at where I need more mulch, more stones in the driveway, and almost time to put down the fertilizer/pre-emergent control products. I need to order mosquito dunkers for my protected "non tidal wetland" (seasonal wet spot in the woods). Spring = work lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I'm going trout fishing with my son shortly. Perfect day for it. Love it. I'm close to rooting for spring. My interest in snow is declining daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Nice day. Caught a trout wearing shorts in February. Pretty damn muddy though. Glad I didn't bring the dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Kid catch anything? I let him reel it in. We didn't have a lot of time. Bball game at 4. He's a great bass fisherman for his age (11). Patient and nice touch with lures. We fish all the time. It's too much fun now that he's capable. I actually get to fish too.

EastCoast NPZ Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 65F. Just got back from taking my girls to the playground. Warm as heck; felt just like the day after a mid-atlantic snow storm. This winter (what there was of it) is done. There will be no March snows this year. The atmosphere is just overwhelmingly in a warm state. Avant Hiatus tried to tell us, but we didn't listen.

33andrain Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Fishing sounds great on day like today. I grew up In Michigan on the shores of a lake, and you couldn't keep me off the ice this time of year. Some of my best memories were ice fishing in the snow with my family. Maybe that's why I love winter weather as much as I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 4 weeks of sporadic cold where temps still averaged above normal? I'm ready for spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I suspect there are still 1-2 "events" lurking, but we have 3 weeks til dst, super late sunsets, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I suspect there are still 1-2 "events" lurking, but we have 3 weeks til dst, super late sunsets, etc. And don't forget that today, at our latitude, the sun is about 50% higher in the sky than it is in Dec. Today corresponds roughly to about Oct 22 on the sun calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today corresponds roughly to about Oct 22 on the sun calendar. Guess that explains my improving mood. SAD is abating. I can back down on my D3 supps, and drink less! Well, at least I can take less D3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But warming water temps wake up crabs from their deep mud hibernation. Should be a good year with no deep freeze on the bay. Might get started earlier than last year when crabbing sucked until mid summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
