Currently mostly sunny and "up to" 14 with dp -6. Time to boil some sweet potatoes (or something) because the humidifiers are no match! I like being able to wash jeans and line dry them in 30 minutes—as opposed to the two weeks it takes in summer. 13F/DP -7F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, blame the people in western PA and upstate NY wanting to see what all the excitement about Nor'easters was about. Although I suppose it's technically not a nor'easter with the inland track, but same effect for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fall guarantees: -Colder/less humid coming off Summer -Bugs/Gnats die...but more mellow crickets/windows cracked to fall asleep -Shorter days -Firepit season -Leaves change colors -Less Allergies -Possible Hurricane/Tropical storm slams us Winter Guarantees: (for the most part) -Getting screwed...follow models for 5 days and end up with squat/waste time -Blow torch at some point -Snowless Christmas/holiday season -Pingers then rain -Weenies come out in full force -Days start to get longer 16F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah. I still like winter as long as there's snow here and there to break up the monotony of brown, gray and drab, otherwise it's a long time between fall and spring, which is my favorite. Snow is my favorite weather event, the more the better but it's all enjoyable. Speaking of firepit season, skipped the Friday night session due to cold wind, but we got a few in over the last week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No crickets (critters) in the winter which sucks and what makes firepits in the Fall better. I still BBQ in the winter which I plan on doing tomorrow... 16F / DP -6....everything I touch I get zapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Fall is my favorite for all the reasons Birds listed above. Plus you can convince yourself a good winter is on the way regardless of all the long range outlooks. I'll rank winter #2, but mainly because of snow. I really don't care for cold, I just tolerate it because it's an ingredient for snow. Kind of a toss up for #3, but I'll say summer even though it features my least favorite weather. But in the back of my mind, I know fall is the next season. I used to love spring as a kid. Probably because more daylight meant I could stay out later to play and the last day of school was on the horizon. But it seems our springs today are cold and wet (mud season). And it means I have to get my lazy butt back outside to do yard work. Oh yeah, and 4 months of hazy, hot and humid weather are on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I wear sweats most of the time anyway. I have a humidifier in my bedroom that I haven't really needed to turn on since I have one of those "bigger" ones on the first floor near a wide central air intake that flows past the bedroom but my bedroom is registering 26% humidity and that is a no-go (the first floor had dropped down to 29%). Luckily my floors are wood laminate and the only "wall to wall" carpet is on the steps to the 2nd floor (and basement). Otherwise I would be showing up on a radar as convection! I'm now up to 17 but that dp has settled in the -7 range pretty consistently now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a theory based on anecdotal evidence over the years that people who prefer fall over spring were born in fall/winter, while people who prefer spring were born in spring/summer. Exceptions to every rule of course, and I do enjoy all the seasons. Except not a fan of hot and humid, and snowless winters. Also, tomorrow's weather is a depressing concept for snow lovers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have neither, but even if I did I still can't imagine liking hot and humid. I've always enjoyed being physically active outside, even just being outside, and hot and humid makes it not as enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned CAD in the early 90's so haven't used those tools for a while but they do come in handy when you need them. One downside of computers is that my handwriting isn't what it used to be, haha.

Hurricane Agnes Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I actually made it up to 22 as a high today and I just saw this cool tweet from Mt. Holly - I was looking at a graph of my barometric pressure from my Ambient and there is a little ripple appearing on the plot (attached snapshot of my weewx plot taken at 4:10 pm EST). Otherwise it's currently mostly cloudy and 20 with dp -4 (and yes, I had to pull out the humidifier in the bedroom and it's on - humidity there has risen now from 25% to 35%, which is much better. My front bedroom is 20% and the basement is 12% (I do have stuff overwintering down there under T5 lights and different spectrums of LEDs but gotta get back to that - I have a portable humidifier down there too if necessary but haven't needed to use it in a few years). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief83 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Worcester, PA. 4:30 PM. Got up to 20.7 today. Now 18.1 with a -4.9 dewpoint. Regardless of the storm event / miss It is COLD.

I saw that…so cool! And from an underwater volcano no less. The sat pics were incredible. Couldn’t help but wonder if there were any ships in the area at the time.
