Started the basketball league at work last night. I don't get why I play better at the pick-up games at the YMCA against better competition than I did last night. I think I get myself too worked up because it's a "real" game.
 
Anyone else wonder why someone like Bojangle's or Hardee's doesn't have an ad campaign using the song "Buttermilk Biscuits" by Sir-Mix-A-Lot? And why doesn't Golden Corral use the song "All You Can Eat" by the Fat Boys?

They keep lowering the temps here every day. May be lucky to get above 50 the next week.

Then why not go back to Georgia like you said you where going to? I'll take temps in the 50s or lower in march all day. It's 40 degrees here as of 1:41pm and I'm loving it. Unfortunately I'll be in the 60s tomorrow.

Wow. I cant believe there have been 10 winters where DC had less than 3.7".

It's not like they are super far north like Boston. I'm pretty sure their old yearly snow average was 15 inches when winters where much colder. Nashville's was 11 at that time so only a 4 inch difference and Nashville has had plenty of winters with less then 3 inches of snow. Nashville only averaged like 6.8'inches of snow the last 30 years so I imagine D.C. Has also went down from 15 inches a year.

56 inches in 09-10 to 2 inches in 11-12 lol. Just having a bad couple of years but I'm sure they'll make up for it. They had 22 inches in 15-16 when most of us had zero

97-98 only had 0.1" in another super el nino

Youre probably the only person ive ever talked to who says 60s is too warm.

I truly do love cold weather. Anything over the 50s starts to let the bugs come out. It's also all about the time of year. Now once we hit may I'll love temps in the 50s. And June - August I'll love temps in the 70s. But after mid November through mid march I don't like temps higher then the 50s. Obviously I need to move further north if I want to avoid those temps everyday for 4 months straight.
 
When you think about it, it makes 100% logical sense for March to be colder than September no matter what you see with the sun angle. You've just finished winter. In September you've just finished summer.

Of course March should be colder than September, but highs in the 30s in Mid March with a high sun angle ? Thats ridiculous, especially with full sunshine. Avg high here is around 50 btw.

You and Phil need to pack your bags, move to northern Alaska and be roommates.

Lol do you remember you're in Indiana atm? Last winter was pretty much a non-winter and I had a 46 degree day...in Mid March... It'd be more abnormal in September simply because you're coming out of summer.

Cannot speak for anyone else, but I do enjoy the possibilities; hoping for a wintertime fluke, is, well, just me ...
Love where home is, and relish in the wonderment of a possible bit of frozen precip here occasionally (after all, I did my stint for 7 in South Bend and got more than anyone "deserves" there), but have you ever heard me ----- about not getting snow or sleet?
On the flip side, have you ever heard me not root for those who are?
Off the soap box ...

Sorry I still have a Georgia mindset. Maybe I shouldnt expect Georgia weather in Indiana.

Youre a good sport Phil.
 
Can someone tell the models that winter is over and that it's time for spring, and to stop making fantasy threats or even any threats in the medium range? I've called it a winter already and I don't want to go snow tracking anymore until December, unless something shows up in the short range then I won't mind...

It's not just this thinking...it's the seemingly familiar posting of you saying "I wonder if Atlanta is done with freezes, back in February" in other warm winters. You'd hear the same thing, every time, in fact...funny thing is I was saying "Tonight is the last threat for a freeze for a while...who knows if we'll have another threat"...and my mom filled in with "around Easter will be the next time", just saying "that's always how that goes"...and I've always heard older folk in the family talk about "dogwood winters".

Doesn't matter if it's a warm winter, it usually never means the south is done with potential freezes that early as while this is not the plains, you don't have consistent weather.

You live in Texas.. winters only last from mid Dec to mid Feb, unless you're in the Panhandle.

hey now the first winter I was here it snowed in March :p pretty sure March is snowier than December here

also the last time there was more than a light dusting
 
SoutheastRidge said:
That pretty much describes the entire southern tier of the country.

Well, northern areas have interesting anomalies both before and after those dates.. Also between Dallas first and last freezes is considerably less time than Chattanooga's... Dallas (Nov 22, Mar 13)... Chattanooga(Nov 6th, Mar 27).
 
not sure about Dallas snow in Dec vs March.. there may be one or two storms skewing the averages, like the march 93 storm does for Chattanooga. I'd look at total snowfalls in a given month over say 2 or 3 inches, for a better comparative stat.

That is absolutely amazing that Dallas would get more snow in March than Dec considering it's been 48 years since DFW had a colder March than December.

you really looked that up? lol

Eh they both suck for snow tbh, best month is definitely February. January isnt that great either (been 16 years since more than an inch fell) but then again Dallas isnt known for snow :p
