Weird Weather
 

March 18. Still technically winter. And it's 80 degrees in Chicago.

While I'm not complaining about grilling in shorts on my deck in the middle of March, I can't help but wonder - if it's 80 degrees now, what the hell is it going to be like in August? We're breaking records from 1995 up here. 1995 was the worst goddamn summer I can ever remember. Nearly 800 people died from the heat.

I think we may be in for the hot humid summer from hell.

not really a glass is half full kinda guy, are you?:thumb:
sec

I hate heat & humidity. Then combine that with 30 to 40 MPH wind & life out side sucks !

Snowed a bit here in Portland, strange weather for sure. We were out trout fishing and all of a sudden the temp dropped and we got snow. Didnt stick but sure did suck.

I guess not. :D

Just not looking forward to 105 degree weather. I'd rather be hip deep in snow.

already got my first skeeter bite

Grass here North of KC is going to need mowing within a week or two and the robins aren't even back yet

lol, well here in cali we got cold, not crazy cold, but massive rain and even a little hail today. But this is our rainy season.

You know, you're too stupid to provide a good argument, and picking on you is like slapping around a reeruned kid. Were it up to me, posters would have to pass a minimum intelligence requirement, and that would get rid of you, but since it's not an option, ignore works just fine.

Goodbye, reerun. I'll see you briefly as a block your new threads, but not beyond that.

Peyton Manning!

Currently 78. Its been in the 70s for a week now. Low 80s this week.

Grass is green. Trees are budding. Crazy.

46 and raining here.

**** snow.

Best winter ever.

Ha ha!

Suck it, bitches!

Jeez, somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed this mornin' huh!

No argument there. I think we had about two feet total all winter, and it was only really nasty one day.

you do have a dick nose jayhawk as your avatar :hmmm:

I dont care if its hotter than usual this summer, last summer was too mild anyway imo, i like the heat, the hotter & sunnier it is the more active i feel like being.

HATE to sit around the house on a hot summer day, feel way too guilty about it.

Windy as shit at my house. Hopefully my girlfriend's bad mood blows away.

Yeah, I prefer to not have my nuts pop like microwave popcorn in the blistering heat.

Yeah I'm a cool weather guy and the way the last few months have gone I'm concerned we're going to have a sucky summer.

There are thunderstorms and it is 54 right now in Phoenix.

Last summer sucked dick up here. It was so hot, wet and sticky that there were bugs everywhere (my property adjoins overgrown protected wetlands, which is absolute bug city when conditions are right). I grilled nearly nightly during the summer of 2010 - last year, hardly at all.

You should come to Chicago to escape the cold LMAO

The Atlantic and Pacific pressure fronts have created a midwest corridor and Southern winds have gushed right up it like the NAFTA highway. Northern pressure is due to fight back soon.
The warm weather right now is a pressure front phenomenon, not a harbinger of hotter weather lasting a long time. We're basically getting Texas' and Louisiana's normal March weather.

Or Billings, it was 73 here yesterday.

I hope you're right.

this is the great cali weather you all think we have all the time lol

Supposed to snow/rain all week here......ready for some sign of spring/summer but guess I have to wait.

Keep that crap over there, LD! I don't want any. :shake:

Where's our planet meteorologist Archie F. Swain??

I can't promise but I will do my best! Been raining all March here. I feel like I am in Seattle!

Sunny and 80 the past two days in Northern Iowa!

I worked on my yard both days. Yard thatched, dead grass and winter crap all picked up. Fertilizer down. (Some good rains expected this week).

Several other misc outdoor things done and I got some serious sun :thumb:

60's here just got done grilling.

i've had the bike out 3 times.
run over 2 snakes.
got two mowers tuned up and ready to go and another in the shop.
hearing turkeys in the mornings.
wife's out running 18 miles, training for a marathon next month.
using ice to keep beer cold.
ernie's over working on his garden.
got a ****ing beaver in my pond...ok, that doesn't have anything to do w/spring, but wtf???
winter's over people.

sec

Warmed up here, but is going to cool down to more seasonal averages in the 60s within the next week. On March 16 we set a record for the earliest 80 degree temperature since they have been measuring.

We've robins in South Dakota - they've been here for two weeks - you must not be looking hard enough.

Cottonwoods are about to bloom and the maples are flowering. Cool season plants are sending up vegetative growth. I've my eyes open for cold weather settling back in.

It's 55 and the wind is blowing around 30 mph here in San Diego. I am freezing my ass off because the windows in my house suck and I am not going to turn on the heat. :mad:

Yes, I know I am a big pussy.

They always appear here in large groups when they come back. Haven't seen a 1 yet

I am leaving for Cancun in the morning. LMAO

I hear what you're saying, i guess for me it really all depends on what i'm doing.

At work, i HATE the sweltering heat as much as anyone, walking around all day on a huge piece of black, sun sucking asphalt shimmering like a mirage, in khakis & a polo or button down.

But when i'm off i LOVE it... at some pond, river or lake fishing, fishing some shady spots & cover, wearing shorts & not much else, taking along plenty of beverages, ice & water, going for a dip where possible or even going to the local pool for a bit... yep, hot & sunny is usually a great off day for me.

Heh. Chicago in winter warmer than San Diego. I like it. :evil:

we're an hr north of the airport and the robins showed up here on the 1st, along with mosquitoes

already had to mow the front

The light wind around here lately has been real nice. Just a great few days.

I will say it sure was nice to fire up the grill this evening. Bacon-wrapped filets FTMFW!

My magnolia tree is already starting to bloom, that's only about a month early.

Hail, kemosabe. With the weather warming up and cooling season drawing down upon us, I was wondering when the ideal time to check/refill AC coolant?

TIA

It needs to be at least 80 degrees to get an accurate charge. It's not a bad time to hose out the condenser though.

We Grilled Thursday Night and Saturday Night -

Best first Winter in Chicago ever...

Well, don't think it's normal.

This has been the best winter ever so I am not complaining at all. I wish it was like this every year. **** snow and ice.

I grilled on Christmas Eve last December. Don't ever remember doing that before.

I definitely do not think that it is.

But we are not complaining.... We are ready to start looking at houses to buy possibly come Aug.

Grammar police.

You ass. LMAO

Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful St. Patty's day.

I was driving down SW Trafficway in the morning, and there was a nice breeze, magnolia trees in bloom, and people all dressed up in green getting ready to get their party on.

It was a fantastic day. Today was nice as well; but I was mostly holed up being a lazy shit so I didn't get to enjoy it.

It's been in the 80s the last couple of days in northern freaking Iowa. Something isn't right.

It snowed in Florida a few days ago.

Mayans were right. Shit is getting realz.

December 21st the world stops

Well things are back to normal. It's snowing out there today. :spock:

it was inevitable

Mayans didn't know shit.

They didn't account for Leap yrs.

The World should have ended 7 months ago.

Really though...it's not unusual to have 75° days in March, and everyone is going to freak out over 80? I'm not calling for the apocalypse quite yet...

Snowing here too and we just switched to 4-10's because it's been so nice:grr:

It's supposed to snow today in Tucson.

Hey, at least you will have three days off and this only looks like it's only going to be a one day special. 65 Wed and 68 by Thu.

Our luck, Bridger and Deer Creeks, will end up getting two feet out of this damn thing.

60s here again.

I hope not. We have a ton of work up the Boulder. I need to get some miles on the atv.

Both my ATV's are sitting at the dealership here in town, getting serviced, I dropped them off Friday. I also have the bug to get out there myself and wanted to beat the rush of ATV's getting serviced, once it gets really nice. Not to worry, we will put some miles on those things, ASAP! :D

Yeah CF/Loo has been great. However I am worried about water levels. River is way down and worse yet the Lakes. I live at Bigwoods lake and its down at least 2 ft. We need RAIN!

Today's forecast: Sunny 87

Crazy

If you don't like the avatar, you'll really hate the shirt. :D

It rained all day today.

Yeah, this rain can go away. I was really diggin' the sunshine and 70+ degrees.

It's been raining the last couple days in south KC after a couple 80 degree days. Nothing too crazy.

Lolz Phoenix and San Diego are 40-50 and Montana is 73...LOLZWTF U Serious Clark? Good times in the Midwest here for sure.
