IrishRob17 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 i bought into a north trend when the gfs and nam were agreeing and the euro came a bit north. oh well Dammit. At least you're not grasping at straws and trying to will it back to the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Everybody works most of the time...it just seems like a miserable way to live, always hoping for winter. Seems about equivalent to always pining for the weekend, which is something most of us do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree...The weekend is when you can do things you want to do. The summer is when you can do more things you want to do, like swim and go to the beach. It's actually the opposite. It's pining for a time when we are all stuck indoors and need to wear coats. People with kids also understand this. In the winter you are stuck inside all day with your kids. In the summer you can let them out in the yard or the park, which is much less stressful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantom X Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I love all seasons but I do love summer the best. But only because summers on long Island are far better than say summers in the southeast or even inland. This past weekend perfect example. . Then when we finally get that nice 75 degree day and 40 degree dew point in September ahhhh First frost in October is nice to see Then onto tracking snow and seeing if we can get below zero. Just as I am getting sick of the cold, the days are getting longer and we're getting nice days in the 50s. Then I start craving summer once agai . To me. The freezing cold makes me appreciate summer more and the hot days make me appreciate fall and winter. I would not be able to do barrow or Miami. I need seasons. And need the sea.

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I'll take sunny and 80 all day everyday. The only thing cool about winter is storms and snow. Try working outside when it's 15 degrees. Heat is equally bad. We are in a great stretch of weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJwx85 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 My favorite month of the year growing up was always June because that's when by birthday is and that's when school ends. I also love those first few weeks when the weather truly gets warm. Once you start pushing upper 80's or 90's with high humidity I am done with the heat. Nothing great about it being 80 degrees at 1AM. I can't imagine trying to do it without air condition like they did in the old days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, so your objection isn't to wishing one's life away, but to other people having different preferences from yours. The whole "we're all stuck indoors in the winter" business is wholly self-imposed and without much merit... I spend far more time outside in the winter than in the summer. Life is better when you're not sweating like a pig and plucking bloodthirsty ticks off your unmentionables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian5671 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Monterey, California is probably one of the best places to work outdoors year round with mild winters and comfortable summers. You would just get bored with the lack of weather outside the rainy season and no snow. But you could always drive to a ski resort for your snow fix. Home heating and cooling costs would also be minimal.

bluewave Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 that would bore me to tears, but if you had an outdoor job, ideal like you said. Coastal LI up through New England is the best of both worlds with decent snows during the 2000's and enough sea breeze days to take the edge of the summer heat at times.

I do all that in the winter. Unless it's bitter bitter cold, you can do a fair amount assuming you put a coat on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchess County consistently has some of the highest incidence rates of lyme disease in the entire world. A short stroll through my backyard pretty much guarantees you'll pick up a couple hitchhikers, to say nothing of a long hike through the woods. It's absolutely disgusting to have to pull them off your clothes and skin every night. And since I'm a photographer, a rainy December day has the potential to be infinitely much more fruitful than a sunny June day. If it's a cold, dry day, then you can bet I'll be out on the trail. Other than swimming in the pool and frolicking in lavender-scented meadows with your true love, there aren't many outdoor activities that are exclusive to summer.

If i lived in Dutchess County i might also hate summer then. Or Brooklyn for that matter. I think for those who live in coastal locations, summer has a much different meaning.

Many people who live on LI put up with the traffic and the high taxes because they can go to beach every weekend in the summer for almost no cost. Also includes boating, as thousands of LIs boat and fish. So i guess if you live here in part for the beaches, when its summer you naturally are happier. Never thought about the fact that upstate people dont have that mindset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have winds off the sound 75% of the time in the summer which keeps temps b/w 75-85 depending on the month. the other 25% features west or northwest winds which bring us our warmest temps of 90 or more. Even right now, we are at 80 with a nice breeze... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought about the fact that upstate people dont have that mindset. I hear ya, I have a bunch of relatives down there who do that. I enjoy going to the beach but I'm also selfish and most of the beaches around here aren't for me. I've been spoiled by the beach I go to in the OBX, where I'm not subjected to a life guards whistle all day and wall to wall people. If there is someone sitting within 50 feet of us then they are close down there, in the Salvo and Waves area, other parts of OBX can be just as crowded as the beaches here can get. Back to seasons though, I enjoy what each has to offer. While there may not be the beaches up here there are lakes, creeks and streams in the woods that can be just as refreshing in the summer. The cooler, sunny, and drier days of early fall wouldn't feel as good if they didn't come after the hazy humid days of summer, etc. I would get bored with just one season year round.

Winter feels lifeless, half dead landscapes don't inspire me at all, factor in any cold or dreariness and I'm not interested in being outdoors. And there are quite a few activities exclusive to summer and the warmer parts of spring/fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with that. The beaches around here can be overly crowded. Past few years i have gone to Smith Point Park in Suffolk. Great beach, not crowded at all, yet still has good concessions. Just need to pay the 8 bucks for parking and you are good. I went to OBX a few years ago and rented a house in Southern Shores, NC with some friends. We had an incredible time. The beaches down there are great and we drove to Pea Island which is pretty much one long beach which is dead empty. Was a blast. Only problem is the long drive with a 2 year old. Not doing that again for a while. This summer we are renting a house in East Hampton for a week with some friends. Nothing crazy but its close to the beach and Montauk, has a pool, etc. It's not OBX but it will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyWx Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Personally, I've always been more of a Summer lover. I can take the heat pretty well. That said, my ultimate weather for the Summer would be about 80° to 85° and fairly low humidity. The warmer weather allows me to enjoy my hobbies that are restricted in the Winter. I spend almost any of my free time outdoors when the weather is like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
