[RANT] COLD!

I am glad I am getting closer to moving south. It is almost June and almost have to put the heat on. When you factor in the rainy days in the summer with the cold you end up with a couple of weekends of decent weather. Oh...and I hate it when someone says, "It is still spring." We do not have a spring....we have cold and hot. I prefer the HOT therefore the South is the place for me. I would much rather try to cool off them warm up. There, I have got it off my chest.

Re: [RANT] COLD!

I prefer it hot myself: I'm very very thin and prefer it about 80° to 90°.

Unfortunately, due to my financial state I don't think I'd be able to move easily. Looks like I'm stuck enduring the Connecticut winter. I can tolerate it but that's about it.

It was 48F in the middle of the day yesterday in Danbury, I had to put some heat on. Today it's a warm 61F (as I type this).

You are correct, it is almost June and we have March or very early April temps. Connecticut is too cool this year.

You bet!

What we need is a warmer climate. If only our great technology could be used to make the world a warmer place.

Absolutely! Hopefully someday, that'll happen. I would not be a bit sad to see winter go away totally! Just have it happen up where people ski.

If I were mystical, I would say it's because my wife's parents arrived here at the beginning of May, from the sunny, hot Philippines. It's been chilly and rainy ever since they got here. I've not seen anything quite like it since 1977.

Re: [RANT] COLD!

As I type this it is 66F in Danbury. I guess it could be warmer elsewhere in Connecticut. For me this has been an unusually cold spring.

Re: [RANT] COLD!

It's probably the last [relatively, @ 45F] cold night of the year, and statistically it is a few weeks late.

[edited forecast low; the Great White Fathers in Taunton have it a bit too low; they still don't know the difference between Hartford and Worcester]

Not just cold but windy. I cannot remember May when the wind seemed to blow all day long. Today the tree here in Southbury whipped around constantly. 39 degrees and holding.....

I have said it before: I'll trade ya, Sky King. I have spent most of my life in the South though I am from CT. As I write this it is nearly 90 degrees in my bedroom, I have no AC and just got a fan. Summer hasn't even started yet. I don't like it, it is oppressive. Cold you can dress warm for, but hot you can't shed for.

I am going to have to move my poor sweet guinea pig out of my room soon, and into my roomate's room which is 10 degrees cooler in the afternoon. She's very old and may not live much longer and I don't know if she is going to survive this hot summer coming. I dread summer every year.

If you can afford AC it is fine, but I can't afford AC.

June 2nd, at 7:30PM and it is sweltering in my room.

Re: [RANT] COLD!

I would rather take off clothes then put more on and I would rather use AC then Oil. In the south you can go to a swimming hole and cool off and have cold showers. Take a look around Ct. and you do not see many people outside in the Winter time compared to the Summer.

Yeah, finally getting some WARMTH!

Hopefully it's here to stay & is not just another teaser.

Alright.. this rain has gone too far.. Let's see.. it rained from April to last night, with very few dry days in between. In fact, it's been raining pretty much since May 2. Our electric bill revealed an interesting fact about temps.. last year's avg temp: 70ºF. This year: 62ºF.

Re: [RANT] COLD!

Climate changes affect different areas of the world differently.

Contemplating this some time ago I have concluded that perhaps "global warming" may have changed Connnecticut's average climate to one with cooler, more rainy summers and warmer, drier winters.

So a cooling Connecticut climate would prove global warming to you?

Note bolded, please.

While not wishing to get into a debate on the veracity of scientific claims of anthropogenic global warming, climatological changes affect different areas differently due to local conditions. While the net effect of a change may be the same in nearly all areas, there will be local variations upon that net change.

Here in Connecticut, summers now seem cooler and wetter than in my youth while winters appear to be warmer and drier.

Counter-example- last winter. Neither warm, nor dry. In fact the whole "global warming" theory was fake and data was corrected. Is there a climate change? Maybe.. parts of the world that were cooler are now warmer and parts that were warmer are now cooler. Let's not forget that there was a mini ice-age only 200 years ago, are we comparing to that anomaly to determine that the current state is an anomaly? Throughout the ages the temperatures have experienced a way higher swing due to natural causes, so looking at a 50-100yrs slice when the cycles are 100,000yrs is insignificant.

Fake? I think all of it is still up in "the air" so to speak. Nothing has been proven..one way or the other. I like to keep an open mind.

Well, Summer is starting next week. Is it finally going to start feeling like it?

My AC will never be run at this point!

Okay, I know that cold does not appear it will be a problem anymore, but these clouds need to go away! I am getting so sick of waking up to them every morning! Are we ever going to get a SUNNY day again????

Is it still rainy up there? One of my siblings said it has been super rainy.

It's reaching the mid 90's now here. I'd love it if it were warm enough to swim when I come up there, but not as hot as here.

I understand how it feels to get sick and tired of Winter weather, but now that I've had the opposite, I appreciate Winter better. There is just this mystical feeling that comes from a mildly windy, snowy late night out in the forests of New England.
