At my place in MD it will be 50-60 degrees and sunny most of December and then again by mid-February onwards most years. Expand Give it 10-15 years up in the North Country once the honeymoon phase has worn off. The desire to be colder than everywhere else wears off and you realize it’ll be cold regardless of what you want… you start to enjoy those extended periods of comfortable temperatures for things like hiking, and mountain biking outside in the spring and fall. Outdoor recreation starts to be less fun with temps in the 40s and 50s so you start to think it should either snow or be 65F and sunny like it it does in Colorado . Unless I’m looking for a reason to be cooped up inside, I’ll always pass on chilly/raw weather… but I used to love it when I first came up north. It felt like a “North Country” type of weather vibe to be cold in months you usually weren’t when living further south. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Talk about being wrong lol Joe Bastardi goes into the forecast at his European website here. Here are some things he says: The coming drop of global temperatures over the next year, to levels not seen since the 1990s, should put to an end to the AGW argument for good except for the most radical elements. However, also coming is major drop of .5 to .7C in the global temps which will take us below normal for a time. And Joe adds: In addition, the reason for the drop will easily be linked with the cooling of the Pacific, which will remain in its cool stage for the next 30 years. Once the Atlantic, still warm, goes into its cool stage in 10-15 years, global temps will fall even further, back to where they were in the 1970s.

Expand another gem from JB Over a year ago I advised a client of mine at the time to purchase less air conditioners than for 2010 because the summer of 2011 would be cooler than the summer of 2010. Now there is talk that this is going to turn out like last summer, but assuming it won’t, the forecast was made. BEFORE LAST SUMMER. The client had to put in their order for air conditioners a year beforehand because they were ordering them FROM CHINA.

You have solar already so you’re half way to energy independence. https://dandelionenergy.com/ edit: I see you’re getting a heat pump which is great but geothermal uses a heat pump but get rids of your AC units. As long as your have existing duck work, it’s not that expensive. And using solar to power the geo is ideal/awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
