Super User Darren. Posted March 4, 2017 Super User Posted March 4, 2017 We know it is here in SE VA because the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, our cars are about to turn yellow with pollen. And I actually beat out a bald eagle for a 1.21# bass this past week. No, wasn't a real competition, but he flew over me at about 40 feet, give or take, and landed in a tree to watch this here amateur try and catch bass. I sure showed him. 1 Quote
Super User DogBone_384 Posted March 4, 2017 Super User Posted March 4, 2017 Spring is almost here in MA. It's 16 degrees and windy. Water temps last week in Plymouth were in 46.x - 47.x. 1 Quote

Anything over 85 and I'm miserable unless I'm swimmin Oddly enough, I just had my driveway widened, my yard hard-scaped with river rock and my wildlife pond re-lined. I'm sure my mason & landscaper would agree (Jan & Bret) that they were working in an unusually pleasant climate. During the pasts 6 months, central Florida has been immersed in Hawaiian-like climate (we do need rain however). Now then, the following 6 months are up for grabs, but Florida is not the inferno that some may envision Roger Quote

Coming from a Michigander. Florida is indeed a fiery inferno (to -me ) may-august lol Quote

Coming from a Michigander. Florida is indeed a fiery inferno (to -me ) may-august lol I too believed it might be an inferno, but before I retired in Florida I did a fairly extensive study on meteorology. What I learned above all, is that a 'maritime climate' exerts a greater effect on overall climate than 'latitude'. The first 49 years of my life were spent in New Jersey, where the highest temperature on record is 110 deg F. In North Dakota, a much higher latitude but more 'continental climate', the highest temp on record is 121 deg F. Florida is over 425 miles long, a coastal lineage that would take you from Rhode Island thru Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware into Virginia. The southernmost latitude in Florida is Key West, FL, but thanks to a 'maritime climate' (surrounded by water), the highest temperature ever recorded in Key West, FL is 102.9 deg F, and the rare days when Key West hit 100 degs can be counted on your fingers. (As an aside, the lowest temperature ever recorded in Key West, Florida was 41 deg F.) Roger 2 Quote
jr231 Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 I'd love to be retired in Florida.. unfortunately. I'm not near retirement. I could possibly retire in Florida. But do my job... Nope. I mean I could but I'd rather be cold than hot (while I'm working , which I spend most of my awake hours doing) , I can always layer up and then take them off as needed. In the heat I'm helpless.. what am I do to? Maybe a wet towel on the neck.. I would never consider it ! Perhaps my career choice and juvenile decisions left me in a path where I will never retire in Florida. But, I'm going to still get a torn up thumb. 2 Quote

Super User Gundog Posted March 5, 2017 Super User Posted March 5, 2017 Went out this morning and heard a robin coughing...spring is coming. It was 0 degrees this morning. That means we had NOOO temperature. None what so ever. We were devoid of temperature. When it hit 15 degrees it felt like a heat wave. I almost put on a thong and flip-flops and opened up a fire hydrant. Can't wait till April. 4 Quote
Super User NYWayfarer Posted March 6, 2017 Super User Posted March 6, 2017 Sure hard to think about Spring this weekend considering the weather here. Friday we had whiteout snow squalls, sub 20 degrees with 40 mph gusts. Saturday was in the teens with 20 mph gusts Sunday hit a high of 30 degrees. If this keeps us Spring weather will hit sometime around the middle of May. Quote
CenCal fisher Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 I was fishing in shorts, sandals and short sleeves on Saturday and it snowed on Sunday. I felt like I was in the Midwest with the big temperature swing. Luckily I should be in shorts again next weekend Quote
Mason_tay Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 We started saturday morning in jeans and sweatshirts and ended up in tee shirts by 10 am. Im not sure if we have seasons in Alabama anymore. Quote
