Good Bye Ole Man Winter

[denb45]

More than that when you lived in the LA area.  I have only see your state from a jet Dennis, I hear its beautiful in the part where you are.  

James, when I lived in L.A. I was in the NAVY stationed @ Long Beach, Ca. & San Diego, Hated having to commute back to L.A. on the weekends, it's a 3 & 1/2 hrs. drive to L.A. form San Diego, I went thur about 3 cars in 6 yrs.

Here's something fun to read -- the April Fool's Day Blizzard of 1997

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fool's_Day_Blizzard

On the 31st of March Boston had a high of 63 F, and the next day received 25.4 inches of snow.  Hilarious...

[hope_for_a_cure]

OUCH!  Its a pain to go into LA from much of Orange County.  I dont even want to think of what it would be like to be on the 5 freeway back and forth every weekend getting to SD.  

Its pouring a cold rain here today and all maps show it moving north to northeast.   Not the best of golf days for 'Can-Am' days at Myrtle thats for sure.

Poor baby , it's 67 in the shade here in the ABQ desert

I'm not sure I'd want someone walking around like that 24/7 even if they looked like Brad Pitt.  Seems excessive.

I bet he would put some clothes on if he was in the Eastern Time Zone today.  Just got a call from my buddy up in PA and he said flurries have started there in Shippensburg.  

Edited to add:  Should have checked weather in FL first,  jockstrap weather is still going on there.... my bad!

When it's hot yes I do, except my otherhalf Bob is a home nudist, and has been for yrs. now I won't go that far like he does, but I'll humor him a little w/ a jock, we don't have AC, only swamp coolers, AC cost too much and were VERY CHEAP  

[Jody]

6 to 12 inches north of NY tomorrow night...But I bet most of the real men here could easily handle that!

[klassykitty]

Shippensburg can keep the snow.  I'm in southern Pa. and am tired of the snow, spring has got to be close.

[Jody]

Well the weatherman did say it would be plowable - which is always good news.

[WillyWump]

Poor yanks with their snow.  

Sunny and 84 here in Gods country. I think I shall sit out back with my pink parasol and a Mint Julep.

[Miss Philicia]

Just drizzle here, and 41 F.  It's only supposed to go down to 36 F tonight so at most we will get some "wintry mix".  Anyway, in the past hour they've shifted most of the advisories and warnings for any snow further north so this will be mostly a Vermont/New Hampshire/Maine event.

Hopefully it will warm up enough by the middle of next week so I can take my brother to a Phillies game.  I know, Miss P at a sports event... as if.

Its got a lot to offer!

I like that little carnival they sometimes have at the foot of the Walt Whitman Bridge (Phila side) next to the K-mart!  Just pack some heat if you ever go there at night.  Dont worry about parking, just park under I-95... nothing will happen to your car. 

[Miss Philicia]

I can see the Walt Whitman bridge from my kitchen window.  I think they recently closed that K-Mart.  Oh and there's a most excellent All Male Revue over in that sketchy section of the city

It's full of Jersey Shore Ronnie types taking it all off.

Actually I love Philadelphia and had friends in the city that I would go see LOTS.  It gets a bad rap from some but really (all kidding aside) its safe for the most part and the downtown area has so much to offer.  Its not just Rittenhouse Square anymore where people want to get out and walk.  

Has anybody gone into the new casino there?  I know Atlantic City is hurting because PA and DE now have table games.

Not bad!  The city has some very hot men and they should take it all off.  I would go there in a heartbeat.

How thrilling -- the projected high for me on Monday is 73 F.

[hope_for_a_cure]

South Street will be packed for sure!  I just saw that it may get wild and crazy here late Mon into Tues.  We may have what FL just went through. 

[BT65]

You suck.  It's only 55 here right now, but feels like 35, an tomorrow it's supposed to drop back in to the 40's.  Eck!

[Miss Philicia]

And indeed as of 2 PM we have achieved a high of 73 F, and I have my windows open -- weather.com is now saying we'll get to 76 F at 5 PM.  Amusingly it's a mere 57 F in nearby NYC.

Unfortunately this is only to be a one day event 

[Jeff G]

And I have more high wind and Hail to look forward too tonight . I'm putting gutter guards on my house and cant seem to get a break in company / weather to finish the dang things . 

[hope_for_a_cure]

True spring weather for sure!  Mid 80s here today but back down into the upper 30s tomorrow night.  Hey jg, the stuff you folks in AL are getting will hit us in the predawn hours Tuesday.  This may just have to be a Xanax night for me.

[Miss Philicia]

You should be in my apartment for a high wind/hail storm.  I'm on the top floor (4th) of a 130 year old building, with most windows (four of them) facing west which is where the wind usually comes from.  The walls and windows creak and moan so much that I feel like I'm in an old wood ship at sea.

I bet its wild up on the 4th floor when the wind whips up.  The windows are huge in a building that old too (just one huge pane of glass).  Its nice to have them open right now though, but stay away from them in 10 to 12 hours from now if you can.  You are in the same timeframe as us for those projected storms.

I would like that , I love older buildings in the city the best . I like a good storm as long as damage is not involved . My bedroom is on the back of the house and I added a carport and screen room spanning the width of the house behind that , it has a tin roof and I love the rain on that tin roof . Not long ago it hailed big time and I almost feel out the bed it was so loud .  

[Miss Philicia]

Yes, where I am it's a bit like living in a treehouse. Most of the surrounding buildings are only 2 or 3 stories, so I have good views too.  I get tired of the stairs at times, but they keep me from getting to fat and having to become a hairy, overweight bear.

Is that down at the airport?  Center City should be in the low 80s if that 77 is at Phila Intl. 

[Miss Philicia]

Is that down at the airport?  Center City should be in the low 80s if that 77 is at Phila Intl. 

Yes, it's the airport reading.  I can also access readings at the small municipal airport in NE Philly.  I don't think that at this time of the year there's a huge difference in Center City.  I'd say the airport is only 7 miles from City Hall.  It's not like Newark is with NYC.

77 is the perfect temp when the humidity is nice and low.  I think I will get out and take a ride on my bicycle before sunset and try to get the blood pumping a bit.  No stairs here in this one level place where I live these days AND its so damned flat here in this part of the state too.  Enjoy the nice afternoon 'P' maybe that hot Sicilian dude in the area will be strolling by and you can entice him in for some refreshment(s).
