IWXwx Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I figured I might as well start this one and combine the two seasons since we are a ways into so-called spring and at least anecdotally have experienced a string of condensed springs (at least in my part of the subforum).

I start getting upset when it's still cloudy and stuck in the 40s and 50s in May. Just waiting for the blossom-killing torch/freeze cycle we seem to get every year in late April / early May. Would be nice to avoid that for once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just spent last week south of Asheville NC. Everyday had sun, even the day it rained ended sunny. 60s & 70s. It was great hiking and biking weather. Come back here to rain and snow . At least today will be nice, sunny and 50s!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Hearing you guys complain about your Spring weather so far, I don't miss that *AT ALL*, lol. So far, this has been the perfect Spring here. Looks to stay that way in the forseeable future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoyed some beautiful snow Saturday night and today there's some beautiful sunshine. Transition seasons are always changeable. To each their own but I just would not survive living in that broiling climate you now live in lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 If I could move my kids, girlfriend and company to a sunny location tomorrow -- I would. Very done with the clouds. Just feels like a waste of life. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sojitodd Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I don't mind the clouds so much but does it have to be wet nearly every damn day? Plus I agree with the above posts about the inevitable killing frosts still to come as the fruit trees start to bloom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each their own but I just would not survive living in that broiling climate you now live in lol I lived in Western Washington for 8 years. I noticed the "cloudy" days there are not as solidly overcast as they are here. During cool season there's always that marine instability that breaks up the clouds between showers. You get a lot of mostly cloudy days, but not a lot of solidly overcast days. Solid stratus, when it happens, is more of a late spring and summer problem. There the transition from winter to spring is so boring and gradual you hardly even notice. It's early summer that's extremely changeable, as the weather changes dramatically depending on whether the flow is onshore or not. I prefer the Midwest though. Much more interesting. I could never live in a perpetually scorching climate either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyweather Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I love it here at 43 north / 90 west. NC IL is my own personal paradise. Admittedly if I wasn’t an hour from ORD for a quick escape when I need a change of scenery maybe I’d feel different. To each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love our seasons, I have no problem with the overcast because summer is very Sunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
