Outside all morning and it is gorgeous! I will enjoy the warm weather this weekend and then I want to see winter back asap!

The ancient prophecy states it will not get cold again until Gorillas evolve and walk like men.

OK Bring on the cold!

Geez...bradford pear trees will start budding after this weekend, friggin lady bugs will be everwhere and the ants from HELL will be out of the ground especially after the big rains. I'm not happy at all about this warm up!

Yeah I hope that doesn't happen. It's been so cold though I'm hoping this little warm weather won't be enough to awaken the pests. The cows will like it though. My uncle said he has never had to feed his cows so much hay before. Reason being is it's been so cold that there has been no grass at all for them to eat. Even the grass that is usually more tolerant of cold weather has not grown this year.

It is nice, I have to admit. Just got unloading a load of wood I cut and it didn't take long to work up a sweat though. But just sitting outside feels really good. It's been a long time since it's been this warm. Fortunately the cold will come back after our next system.

Even if we don't get another event, I dont know that many, if any of us have a right to complain about this winter. I mean, we made out like bandits in a relative sense.

Except for folks like me who I suppose should be happy for the 4.5" total we got.

I love how the GFS baiscally has the whole US below freezing here, like it just drew the 850 line around the border of the us! :lmao:

That's not 850 temps. Those are surface temps. And it looks like it almost has Mexico City getting down below freezing. lmaosmiley.gif

850s are down into the central Gulf at that time, though. arrowheadsmiley.png

YAY 70s! It's about time for this Florida boy to thaw out a little! I was finally able to run without my lungs feeling like they are on fire :)

Lol, unfortunately a day like this has been all to often the norm for Ga. winters. Hopefully you came north right at the paradigm shift of Ga. winter climo, and days like this will be rare, and not familiar, like they are now, lol. The last two winters have been spare with days in the 70's, for sure. T

You might want to kill me for this, but a stretch of warm, dry days in the middle of winter is one of the redeeming qualities of southern winters. Places up north may not crack 50 for months at a time, while we get a few days in the 60s at least each month in winter. Being able to go outside in a t-shirt in midwinter is pretty awesome in my book. Not that I'll complain when we cool back down :snowman:

I'm with you on that. Don't mind 60's at all mixed in with long cold snaps.

Just poppin' in to say good luck with the upcoming system severe-wise... the high shear/low CAPE setup is looking good for moderate severe potential south of KY and NC. Some outbreak potential for sure. If that vort max can stay as south as what the 18z NAM shows (or go further south), some red flags are going to go up as severe weather becomes imminent.

Today was an absolutely glorious day here in Savannah with beautiful blue skies, a nice breeze, very low humidity (TD's in low 30's), and temp.'s in the mid-60's. There still was a bit of a chill in the air along with the comfy heat from the sun that felt sooo good in combination. This all made for the best walk in some time. As much as I enjoy cold in the winter, you're not going to hear me complain about these typical southern winter mild interludes. We get a good number in most winters and we've hardly had any of them this winter to this point. I'm looking forward to more of this next week.

Part of me was bothered by the warm today but it was nice working outside. I was finally able to put the shingles on my shed and there was actually some heat building on the roof. Sure beat working out there a couple of weeks ago with melting snow dripping all over me. I also did not notice a single bug today. Normally the lady bugs would be everywhere.

Thanks! I'm hoping to chase a couple severe events this year.

Unfortunately this really wouldn't be a system to chase in... dreary conditions with plenty of rain to obscure tornadoes. I doubt you'd actually see anything, but then again that never really stopped me from chasing! :thumbsup:

I'm loving this weather. I was finally able to get outdoors and ride my bike without freezing. I hope it continues the rest of winter. :thumbsup:

I agree lilj...I went on a 50 mile ride today. It was nice to finally go for a ride and not freeze!
