ArtRosen Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Threw my back out trying to dig out my car, it's cold as hell outside and there's yet again more snow forecasted for tomorrow AND Tuesday. Enough is enough already. Who's up for opening up their pool and grilling some burgers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantom X Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 your asking a bunch of members who LOVE the snow and cold. I love this snow cover... but the cold is too much for my wallet (OIL / Heating bill); so i'll take the warmer weather or free oil to last me thru april.

Enough is enough already. Who's up for opening up their pool and grilling some burgers? Not nearly ready for Sping yet...but who says the grill ever closes? I'll be out skiing or snowshoeing locally Saturday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 In the back of my head, I definitely am. I love snow....and this is the time of year for snow. So I don't mind..and I am rooting for a blizzard since I know it's impossible for it to be warm and sunny. But when Spring comes...I don't mind either. I love short sleeved shirts, the shore, the pool, everything that comes with summer. So I guess yes and no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing up in the mountains of VA, I am used to the cold, but we would ALWAYS have brief interruptions of pretty significant warm ups (60s/70s). Give me some 80s/90s.

SnoSki14 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 All I got to say is if you don't like the cold and snow, move to Florida or California. We maybe had like a month of good cold and snow compared to like 8-9 months of Spring and Summer like conditions, believe me I can wait till Spring. It's only mid January for god sakes, the middle of winter, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The January departure from normal in central park is -0.6F through yesterday and at LGA its +0.8F. You are not going to be happy if we get into a cold pattern.

Sn0waddict Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I would be ok if there was spring weather from here on out to be honest. I love snow, but the snowgods gave me everything I could ask for with the last snowstorm. So at this rate I can't possibly be picky with how the rest of the winter goes.

Voyager Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I don't know how people can live in Florida. No snow at all. I could live without snow. I actually did for 5 years in Phoenix. That being said, I only root for snowstorms because of the "thrill of the chase" with regard to tracking potential storms, the uniqueness of it, and the fact that, if I have to live in a cold climate, I want something to show for it besides an ugly, dead looking landscape.

winterwarlock Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 yes Im ready for spring and summer, short sleeves, sun, ocean, getting a tan, bikinis, girls, summer breeze, smell of honeysuckle, fresh cut grass....at least we are moving toward it, the days are getting longer :sun: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice job compiling and summarizing the essence of summer. Look at it this way – we're at like the Wednesday afternoon of the climatological transition from winter to summer, June roughly corresponding to Friday night.

Brian5671 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I'm on the winter train until mid March...but yes, it's hard to imagine bare ground right now and anything resembling warmth--been in a persistent cold pattern since roughly 12/1 with only a couple of days around the new year with anything even close to warm.

canderson Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Pitchers and catchers report in 30 days. In my mind, spring thus starts in 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkviking Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I much prefer a winter like 2009-10 than one like this. The storms were few, but all big except New Years weekend (which ended up still delivering a decent amount of snow over that 4 day period out here on the island) BUT there wasn't an unrelenting persistent cold. The non stop cold, although not severe, is annoying and costly, and hope everyone is checking their tire pressures weekly with these gas prices. I'd like mid 40s for a few weeks then some big blockbusters, but look forward to hopefully a decent Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm ready for the January thaw... but we have at least two events coming up delivering us snow and meanwhile my car is FINALLY out of the driveway! I can be among civilization again! Of course that is until the next snowstorm. Snowblowers are expensive and I've got snowpiles on the sides of roads taller than I am (I'm 6'2). Never, never seen a winter like this before.

mattinpa Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Nope. I'm in winter mode until late March. I haven't gotten a snowstorm over 5 inches so far, so I'm not close to burned out on snow. I could take a couple more storms and then a week or two thaw before more wintry weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I'm sure others in my area will vehemently disagree, but I'll take some coastal/inland cutters so you guys get your share. Central North Shore long island has little to complain about in the 21st century. Don't get me wrong, if I didn't have to commute, or could live in a cabin a la Misery or even the Shining, I'd love nothing more than to be buried non stop. I find I love winter better upstate, like Lake George....bc now, here, it's more an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowshack Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Its only been wintery for 4 - 5 wks! I wish it was like this 6 months a year.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Kind of looking forward to warmer weather myself. It's been somewhat disappointing for us. We've been missed on all sides by the good snows. Two of the one inchers turned to ice on the roads. It was miserable to drive in. Slid off the road and hit the curb one time. I hate ice. Can't use my snowshoes in less th less than 6 inches. Except for the anticipation not fun and I need some sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanormalWx Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I'm ready for Spring. I think I'm becoming more interested in watch the storms develop along with watching the models then the IMBY events. Plus our first baby will be born early spring, so I want winter over.

bkviking Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Well, LC in his newletter last night stated--not as a forecast--but between a few analogs of similar winters and the projected lessening or elimination of the -NAO he feels east of the Rockies turns warmer in February despite his cautioning about current projections of +PNA and deep snow pack in East.

Animal Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 It's a lot worse living in the city because you are walking around outside a lot. I was in Manhattan last week on the upper east side all week. It was brutal with the winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
