Very done with the clouds. Just feels like a waste of life. This is a post that I'd write, lol. I even comment that since winter turns off my mind and motivation, its essentially just a waste of time and for dark overcast skies to perpetually continue deep into Spring is unacceptable. BTW I've tried everything under the stratus for treating SAD and nothing works - I'm not staying for winters I was done over a decade ago. I like the changing of the seasons but I'd give it up never to see another flake again. The biggest problem is the lack of sunlight though - today was incredible with clear skies til 3, I felt totally different but as the overcast rolled back in by late afternoon I felt like shit again! 100% correlation! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have depression when it's sunny. SAD just amplifies it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Stuck in the low cloud soup all damn day and won't even hit 70. Sure, the dewpoint is 62, but if you're not outside to feel that it doesn't look much different from a gloomy day an the upper 40s. Then it's back to cold. Tomorrow is gonna feel nasty with the wind. Feeling kinda hopeless looking at the long range. GFS is probably cold biased after 7 days, but still too f**ing long. Just hoping the next warmup isn't another short rainy BS one like this week. Four years in a row now of cold springs and mild falls. Would honestly prefer the other way around. Feels like an AGW pattern shift or something. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike this year it was dry. 2020 was similarly very up and down with late frost. Flower season was very long both years as there was a mild stretch in early April that got things started early. This year is slow to get started. 2018 was also extremely slow to get started, then summer came in the middle of May and stayed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 This has been an extremely awful Easter weekend for weather, and here it fell on a late weekend slot . April 16th specifically may have had the worst wx I've ever seen for that date - zero redeeming factors aside from some brief clear skies that morning then the darkness and damp cold followed. Today is similar despite the overachieving temps. I can't believe its going to get even worse tomorrow. I hope the full run of the GFS after 200 hours is on crack. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFS showing 30’s for highs throughout the beginning of May. Old habits die hard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If something even remotely close to that pans out, may as well have a solid snowstorm in early May just for the novelty factor. The leaves aren't coming out anytime soon anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherzen Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 If this pattern of weekly 40 degree shifts in temperatures continues into the summer, I will be shifting our plan to move to the southwest into high gear.

Harry Perry Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I can tolerate bouts of colder weather, but one day (maybe 2, if we’re lucky) of average temperatures followed by 5-7 days of 20-30° below average temps is just brutal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite an impressive run The interesting thing with these patterns is when they break it most likely means we skip nice spring weather all together. 40s and 50s with small bursts of 60s/70s will be replaced with 80s and 90s and small bursts of 60s/70s.
