Side note, maple sap is running like crazy. Today I'm making the final push on getting the last of the lights down, and every scuff or snapped twig on my sugar maples releases a torrent. Makes me wanna tap a couple buckets. Maybe this is why there are so many birds around? Even a lot of woodpeckers this year so far 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this kind of dry air, perfect skies perfect day. We get this in the fall sometimes too-- I think it was a couple of Novembers ago we had a week straight of highs near 70 and lows near freezing lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are no storm systems around, give me a lunar airmass that falls off a cliff at sunset. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the Poconos that time we had that huge swing for a whole week in November. Sweating during the day working outside and cold enough to get the fireplace going as soon as the sun went down lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 It's kinda nice out @ 45/44 How is it that it can be both comfortable and uncomfortable at the same temperature at different points in time? Perspective is a weird thing sometimes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I'm not usually one to complain but this has been a pretty boring stretch of weather the last few months. I mean, there have been a few bright spots and some learning opportunities but as a whole it's been just ho hum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I get that it's good for heating bills and the well-being of life and property, but as a wx fan, real slog of a year. I guess it makes you appreciate the fun stuff more. Topping out at 49 so far today. Just a few minutes of thinner cirrus needed to clock another 50 day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 There's 50 for today (51, actually). Beautiful weather for lunch on the patio. That 1.5-day cold blast notwithstanding, this February has been nicer than a lot of Aprils we've had. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Second of (likely) five days in a row with highs >= 55. That's 21 days at or above 50 since the start of met. winter. Pretty wild. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted February 16, 2023 Author Share Posted February 16, 2023 Time to hoist the STFu flag again for me. After an OK December I hadn't really paid attention but I believe my seasonal total is at 10.2" (I can confirm at home). 12.1" from '15-'16 is my record low snowfall. This season has a fighting chance to set the new record IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The warmth today is a little meh locally. 58 so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I’m usually the type that will take snow during any month, just to add to totals, but after this miserable whatever it was, certainly not winter, should there be a snowy cold March, which is 100 to 1 against at this point I would just look at it like mother nature giving us the middle finger. That sentence was for too long. I probably should’ve made it three or four sentences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Green grass, buds budding, leaves crackly and crunchy on the surface, birds chirping, squirrels playing, mosquitoes doing mosquito things and gnats swarming along with what mud there was drying up sure does make it feel spring like. I also foresee 'drought 23' being a thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
