We were in FL 2/25-3/10 and going back hopefully in late June to get a sense of living there....can always come back for a month in winter and stay in a nice air bnb. We just did the same thing but have to go back in a summer month to see if we can stand the heat. We usually go down in October or March and its perfect weather.

I fell about 10 years ago and broke my radius, cracked my humorous, and dislocated my elbow. I have a house on the intercoastal in Wilmington, NC with a boat slip. That’s where I’m headed when I retire. Little too far north for me in the dead of winter, but I’ll survive. I like snow, but honestly I’m about done with it. I like to look at it, but cleaning up the mess I can do without. I also have balance issues that are getting worse. It’s just a matter of time before I take a header on the ice. I’m very careful but I know it’s coming. Just get to retirement! For me it was a slog and I waited until I was 2 months short of my 74th birthday to pull the trigger. Work I do now doesn’t require my physical presence. I agree about the snow-it’s great leading up to and during but then you’re left with cleanup amd limited mobility....

It would seem like there's no change from the dominant pattern all winter...now continuing into spring. Eventually it'll break and probably at the worst possible time to leave us wondering what happened to summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterfish55 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Beautiful day in Newport with the family but my in-laws up in Cape Breton, NS are dealing with that ULL...was heavy rain and now a huge ice storm.

Damage In Tolland Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Stein is going to have to be hospitalized this spring and summer . It’s escalating quickly The good news for warm weather fans is that because we are in sort of a Rex Block regime, it will likely stay dry with storm systems suppressed to our south and west. Moreover, we have dry antecedent conditions and it does not take much for temperatures to overperform with a combination of downsloping, deep mixing and the higher sun angle in early April. Weather-related concerns wise, there could be heightened fire weather concerns on Tuesday given the dry antecedent conditions. Winds could gust 25-30 mph at times given the aforementioned synoptic setup and with relative humidities in the 30 to 35 percent range. And if the boundary layer mixes deeper, RH values could drop below 30 percent so the fire weather concerns would need monitoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though 84" might be a bit on the high side if we did a long term average. I don't think the GYX average is 30 years though....I think they only started in 1996. If you included the putrid 1980s into the 1981-2010 normals, then they would be less than 84". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
