Bring on the fcking 70s already as I’m over the 50s. Average high is mid 60s now and I’ve had enough of the “well in the sun it’s ok” temps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 I have been outside digging holes for holly trees. 54 in the sun and I am in short sleeves and sweating a bit. Would not want it much warmer for doing outside work. With just a light breeze now it feels perfect. 75+ and humid will be dime a dozen soon enough. I prefer a gradual transition to our 6 month summer lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait til next fall. I've yet to see the land without snow on the ground though. We're gonna go camping sometime in April or may, hopefully when the mountain laurels are blooming. It's gonna be fun where 80" is considered below normal! Sounds awesome dude. Can’t wait to hear more about the yurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was younger I had severe hay fever. As in "abandon the tractor and crawl back home when an attack comes severe". 100% incapacitated.

No allergies here either. I get those pollen strings piling up all over the deck and walkway in Spring, and I just go hit it with the leaf blower. The worst I get is mildly itchy eyes for a few minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An allergy pill every day for the last 20 years and hopefully 20+ more. So many things are better now than when I was a kid and that includes allergy meds. I remember lying awake for hours as a kid in spring and fall so frustrated because my sinuses were 100% stuffed. Did the weekly allergy shots as a kid too and tried as an adult but they’re too inconvenient. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They behave pretty much the same way- hardly noticeable as they pass through but blow up offshore and bring us wind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing will impress hillbilly rednecks like a yurt, doubtless. You’ll be like Lawrence of Arabia to them, especially if you buy some goats. 38 clear and calm.

wxdude64 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 30 this morning, least the wind isn't blowing....yet. Crazy how windy it became again yesterday, especially in the afternoon, 25-35 gusts. Sheesh. I agree with Mappy, easily one of the windiest weeks I can remember. Oh, and the 'mostly sunny with increasing clouds late afternoon' forecast is toast. Sun was out first thing, now completely clouded over and glancing at satellite gonna stay that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
