Mother Nature Is Cruel

Jordan2 — Thu, 09 Mar 2017 19:37:08 GMT

I live in NYC and tonight into tomorrow morning we are suppose to get 1-3 inches of snow. Okay not a big storm but enough for a messy morning commute. Then Monday night into Tuesday morning a Nor'Easter is coming. Mother Nature teased us with some seasonal weather, I was hoping to be past all the snow. Also Saturday is going to be frigid. I'm so done with winter, bring on spring!

Well @Jordan2, you know what they say - Spring is just around the corner. Unfortunately "they" didn't say what corner, or how far away said corner is. :-)

I'm in one of Chicago's NW suburbs, an hour out of Chicago. We had 3 days of pleasant weather earlier this week, now we're back to more seasonal weather for the rest of the month.

I know from past experience that we'll have snow the 2nd or 3rd week of April. Normally it's just a dusting so everything looks like it's been sprinkled with powdered sugar, it's usually gone the next day.

I'm in joisey & it's 62 degrees.

I just came back into the house after putting my Frost Guard on my car in preparation of the 2 snow storms we are expecting.

If the streets are icy next Wednesday, I am going to cancel my dr appt.

@Jordan2

I'm concerned about the nor'easter. The weather folks are not saying anything yet (giving snow estimates).

I'm hoping it's something minor. But usually nor'easters can be pretty crazy

I call it "Parent Nature" under these circumstances. No reason mothers should get all the blame.

I think the NE is being punished for having a warmer than usual winter. It started late and was mild but now Mother Nature is making us pay for it by giving us brutal temps and snow when we should be moving into spring. To make matters worse, she gives us a couple of days of spring like weather and then....bam....back to the freezer we go...lol

@Jordan2, I'm in NYC, too, and heard the same thing. I'm hoping this is winter's last hurrah, even though the season has been rather wimpy here contrary to weather service predictions a few months ago. I'm ready for spring!

who in the Northeast can remember 4/15/2007? Taking my son & new bride to airport for honeymoon - driving home it started snowing!

i think we got 12-14" and they were stranded at Phila airport for a day...what a way to start their marriage!!! (I couldn't go get them)

I recall one Easter Sunday it snowed but we had early flight out to St. Thomas and missed it!

@Jordan2

About the same here for SE PA. And to make things worse, we lose an hour of sleep this weekend. UGH. I do like it being light later in the day but I sure miss that hour for about a week or so till my body adjusts.

The groundhog did say 6 more weeks of winter. Didn't anyone believe him?

We got 21 inches. Blizzard lasted for 2 whole days....complete white out.

FWIW....

I don't think your son & dil wanted to spend their first honeymoon night at "mom & dad's" house either.

Because our weather radio goes back & forth between Fl & Pa we just got a winter weather advisory. I assume it was for PA. Getting that news makes us appreciate the tropics even more . Stay safe & warm everyone.

We have had a pretty good winter in WI. but March came in like a Lion.

Don't hate me, but my DH, BF & her DH arrived in Cancun yesterday & it is beautiful. We will be here for 11 days, & hoping to get back home to Springtime weather.

@AKgirl2 Where were you in Utah high desert that it snowed on Fourth of July? I've spent time in Southern Utah and it was hotter than you-know-where. Not to gloat but the weather is perfect here in the high desert of NM, with temps running about 10° higher than normal. It's 70°., with cloudless blue skies and a slight breeze.
