Just wait till that NW trend kicks in. Am I doing it right?

You need to throw words and phrases in like verbatim, all chips in, punt, etc. We don’t watch the models, we listen to what they whisper sweetly to us right after we bet the house. Then we punt because we have complete control over the weather to defend against it.

It’s not unseasonably cold in these locations, but it’s not often you see Yakutsk, Khatanga, Baker Lake, and Fairbanks as cold as they are simultaneously. Usually a few are seasonably cold while others are above normal. Winter is finally wintering again

Days like today need an asterisk in the climo record. Going sunrise to sunset with temps at/below freezing but the official high for the day will end up showing 51.

That happened a lot in 2013/2014. I know one day that the high was like 41 at midnight but at 1pm in the afternoon it was like 18 degrees.

I found this interesting map. I’m not sure why the cloudiest month of the year in most of Georgia/Alabama and Florida Panhandle is January while the cloudiest month in most of the Carolinas is in June and July. View attachment 178957

That map makes sense down here in NM, the summer monsoon season is about the only time of the year we really are consistently cloudy

South Florida is easily explained with the wet summers and dry winters. The eastern Carolinas not being in January is a direct impact of downsloping during northwest flow.

Ok so how do you explain the Carolina’s being cloudy in the summer but in Atlanta, Birmingham, Pensacola it’s cloudier in January.

Being a grandfather and a Colts fan, I hope he can keep it up. I'll be honest, I've been physically inactive lately and I need to get out of the easy chair and see what this old man can still do.

Nothing I love more than wasting a good cold front.

Don’t worry because I don’t ever let any cold front be wasted. Cold air is always appreciated by cold weenies like me because heat/humidity are so dominant much of the year. I had an invigorating walk just after it went through here early this evening. It felt so good even though it was still in the upper to mid 50s! But the combo of wind and dewpoints plunging to the mid 20s made it feel great! It gives me so much energy! We’d better enjoy it while we still have it.

I enjoy it. But it becomes frustrating to have them happen during dry spells and never meeting up with some moisture.

Let me answer ......... All the ski resorts in NC, VA, WVA, up through the Northeast. A lot of jobs and revenue rely on cold weather. Come on people. Quit being so selfish!

Some of it is certainly the crazy seabreeze boundaries we get that roar inland and the Piedmont trough action in the Sandhills. June/July/First Week of August are prime seabreeze times for us. It tapers off after that as the shelf waters heat up. July is also our rainiest month on average.

Long Bay and Onslow Bay (the two almost perfect semicircles on the SC/NC coast) are almost perfect for the seabreeze to get pulled onshore by the heat generated from sandy soils inland. The shelf waters don't usually get above 80F until after Memorial Day which means there can easily be a 10-15 degree temperature differential early in the season.
