imschur Posted March 12, 2012 Report Posted March 12, 2012 Here in CT it was nearly 70 degrees today. There were butterflies in the sun at lunch time...WTF.."May in March" Not that I am complaining
Matt.Cross Posted March 12, 2012 Report Posted March 12, 2012 4 Feet of snow next week, you can have your own glacier-preserved butterflies... :o
fr3db3ar Posted March 12, 2012 Report Posted March 12, 2012 In Michigan, 2 days ago I was in a winter jacket. Today, 65 degrees.It would appear spring is here and bugs are soon to follow.Looks like the Thermacell may get some extra use this year.
edgecrusher Posted March 12, 2012 Report Posted March 12, 2012 shoosh drew, i'll take it. we probably won't be so lucky next week.
unforgiven Posted March 12, 2012 Report Posted March 12, 2012 Crazy is right cold a couple of days ago now 70deg.Was also windy as hell around 40/50 mph.Makes me worry about more tornadoes and the people already jamed up with previous storms. :(
Madhouse Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 We've been running the air conditioning on and off throughout the winter months, never gone two weeks without it. I AM complaining.
w_r_ranch Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 We've had a few days in the 80s already... should be in the low 70s. I hate getting screwed out of spring again.Hell, I've already gotten 2 mosquito bites!!!
Retired JM Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 Same here in OK. High 70s-low 80s thru WED. It's like we skipped spring and went right to summer. Just hope it's not like last summer. That poop was Baghdad hot.
imschur Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Posted March 13, 2012 Hell, I've already gotten 2 mosquito bites!!!FWIW Im really holding back on the obvious cheesey one liner that start with "Those arent mosquito bites" <laughs>
Dusty44 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 Musquitoes?? Try some Vitamin B. Buy a bottle called B-100, grocery or pharmacy on the shelf. One pill every morning. Good for your heart. One of the B vitamins also makes you taste bad to muskiteeoes. Not a full cure, but it helps a whole lot. If you awreddy take a multivitamin (for men, no iron. Iron is bad for men), take some B-100 too. Anyway.Men (and women past Menopause) build up iron and it causes problems. There is more than enough iron in normal food. To get rid of excess iron, donate blood. Vitamin B is water soluble and washes out real easy.
Guest LLArms Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 Georgia has you beat for odd weather anytime.December? 30 one day, 85 the next. ::)
shepp Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 never had the windows open all day and night in march at my place, this whole "winter" has sucked got to go ice fishing twice, not a happy camper
unforgiven Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 St. Patricks day warmest on record 82,warmest since 140 years.Hear tornadoes hitting west and snow hope everyone is ok.
edgecrusher Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 70's and 80's all week here in mass, this is the third week in march right? is july going to be 140?
mariodesmo Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 Here in Silicon Valley, we had snow on the local foothills a few days ago and it's been cold! The foothills are only at 2000 feet so to see snow there isuncommon. We usually don't get snow there even during the coldest months of December or January. And never this late.It is very unusual to have cold winter storms coming in as they have,since it's so late in the winter. But then we've also had a verydry winter this year.
shepp Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 its been 80 here for over a week and im ready to blow my brains out..............
unforgiven Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 Don't do it brother shepp,winters right around the corner. :o
shepp Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 never had a winter, it snowed and all but winter never came...... i went ice fishing twice, im going NUTS!!!!
imschur Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Posted March 22, 2012 We did not have winter either. We had the storm in October that was about a foot an a half deep 8 miles from here. Most of the state lost power for about a week. Due to my proximity of the shore the same storm turned to rain and I had almost nothing by the end. Then in January we got a few inches that was it. Never got cold, lakes and ponds barely froze. Never got below zero. In fact most of the winter was probably in the high 20's to high 30's with a few single digit nights. Now we are already close to a draught. I have never seen the streams and rivers this low other than the middle of summer. We have been in the 60's and 70's for a few weeks. This is May weather in CT not March.

This is May weather in CT not March.same here im pretty much straight west of you, by 16 hours HAHA. but we would get snow, it would melt by either temps or rain in a week or so, prolly got maybe 24" of snow here this year the snowmobile trails didnt even open here, most lakes were to dangerous to go out on
imschur Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Posted March 22, 2012 after last winter I was so close to buying a snowmobile. Glad I held out. No grass drags in the city ;D
shepp Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 after last winter I was so close to buying a snowmobile. Glad I held out. No grass drags in the city ;Dthe past 4 winters have been awesome here, and its not much to go to the UP of MI from hear either. i bought a quad with a plow this past fall, i looked awefully funny plowing 2" of snow LOL
unforgiven Posted April 4, 2012 Report Posted April 4, 2012 Just got home from wraping up 30hr. safety class,and saw the new about the tornadoes in central Texas.Hope everyone is ok,we will say a prayer for all of you,good luck.
Dusty44 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Posted April 4, 2012 Local official word for North Texas is the bugs are coming. No cold to kill them. Bring your African Double Rifles and hunt ticks . . . real soon.Tornadoes today straddled me. 10 miles East, 10 miles West. A lot of heavy rain. Mostly worried about the grandchildren in school. Kind of felt like RVN, wondering where the next rocket would land? Didn't even drop electric power today, not for even a blink. Hope all the rest of us in the way of this storm are and were that lucky.Recall the comment of a waitress out in a West Texas truck stop when I was pushing 18-wheelers: she said if the winters were mild on the high plains the tornadoes in the Spring would make up for it. She would rather cope with snow and ice. With this past winter in mind, it may be a very long Spring for all of us. Texas and everywhere else.
unforgiven Posted April 4, 2012 Report Posted April 4, 2012 Glad to hear you'r safe brother Dusty,hope everyone else was as fortuneate.Got wetlands behind me skeeters got to file a flight plan :o.Bugs are gonna be bigguns for sure.Rene
