I want a refund for winter

[jkernitzki]

They’re calling for 90F/32C on Friday. It’s still February! I didn’t get the winter I paid for all summer long, and I want a refund.

Second year in a row my paperwhites aren’t blooming.

Still, it may mean an early pool season, and given I just dumped $4K on a new filter and pump, I’d like at least one thing that pays off.

I'm in central Texas, and we had about 2 weeks of winter, very mild. I'm used to mountain biking with a LOT of gear...and a lot of fun.

I don’t know, 90 degrees sounds nice when it’s 25 in Madison

I want my 2 weeks of "spring". We head into summer with intent around these parts.

I was in Fairbanks one year for their entire autumn. All five days of it.

-40 is… interesting.

It’s currently 15° F here, with an estimated 10-12” of snow tomorrow. I’m over winter. we haven’t got this much snow in a year in at least 10 years… probably closer to 15 years.

Fortunately, that kind of temperature is gone for now. We had -40F wind chills for several days a few weeks ago.

Reminds me of one of my favorite Calvin and Hobbs quotes. “Don’t you hate it when your boogers freeze”

First blizzard in over 30 years yesterday. About 2 feet of snow. Our HOA shovels but we are still waiting for Twp to plow streets so we can't get out yet. This is on top of a major snow storm about 2 weeks ago that just finally melted because of below freezing temperatures for the last 2 weeks. Definitely over winter.

That -40 in Fairbanks was still air. Wind chill? -56F in Dickenson, North Dakota. Both still warmer than the MIL's heart.

Just saw the coldest temperature recorded in North America > - 63 C or - 81 F in Snag, Yukon Territory on Feb 3, 1947 !!

And, I don't think they measured wind chill back then !

Cheers

Ottawa Canada here. Temperature todays low is -21 C (-6F). Average winter day. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE 90F TEMPERATURES.
For what its worth, my wife and daughter both have Subarus and I think the Bronco Sport does snow better than their Subarus. I wont argue with Subie Fans, just saying.

Like John, I think it's way too early for 85-90º temps... but I hate the cold, too. Anything below about 45º in the morning is too cold for these old bones. But really not ready for summers in the Sonoran desert yet. Let's back it off a bit (75-80º highs) for a month or two.
