Is anyone COLD
 

Not to bore you with all my research, but it appears that the next few days will bear out to be one of the coldest March seasons in recorded history. I am sure that by 1 April we will be informed about the weather of March 2013 making some of us say, yea right April fools. But its no joke, this is a record cold setting March.

BUUUURRRR

is that true all over the country or just here?

I did the research specifically on Central Florida; however, since all our cold weather is delivered via Fronts out the north, I would believe that many states above us should have similar findings.

.......

It was 50 here yesterday and we were roasting.........it's all relative.
But, read below:

Blurt: The Seven Days Staff Blog: USDA's New Plant Hardiness Zone Confirms Vermont Is Getting Warmer

While you all feel colder..........we all have been feeling warmer..........last winter and this winter, although we did have some really cold days but not like it used to be.

It says here that our climate is becoming “temperate” like Virginia ???????????????????? And..........possibly warm up to the climate of Georgia? More peach cobbler??? No more maple syrup?

USDA’s new plant hardiness zone confirms Vermont is getting WARMER............now we just have to wait for New Hampshire to fall into the ocean. Then we will be "beachfront". We do follow the Florida weather and notice that the temps have been much colder than when we lived down there...........our kids wore shorts in the winter and never needed a coat.

It's definitely true about more RAIN than SNOW as well................It never rained in the winter like it has the past 5 years or so.........

Our weather used to be VERY VERY PREDICTABLE. Every mid January was the January "thaw". The snow would melt off but then more snowfall would arrive. Not anymore.
It rains all the time........although this year we did get some snow BUT NOT AS MUCH as the states south of us. Very very strange. Last year both Vermont and Colorado lacked SNOW.

I'm cold! My core needs some nice warm weather which, starting today, looks like Mother Nature is going to cooperate. Starting today low 70's and climbing each day from there. Up to 88 by Tuesday. Now that's more like it!

Check temps up north - it'll make you feel warmer instantly! :D

Bill :)

Hmmmmm.....

Columbus, Ohio = 31
The Villages = 37

Not such a big difference today....

BRrrr.........

I also don't remember having to shovel anything from the driveway and sidewalk.

All March I wished I was in TV compared to cold rain/snow in VA.on the Chesapeake. NEXT YEAR!

High temps forecasted for this afternoon:

Granville, OH.......49

TV.........72.

:shocked:

Bill :wave:

49???? are you serious? Sounds like biking weather :1rotfl:

HA!! Could be - but the roads are still covered with salt. No thanks!!

Bill :wave:

No scientific poll but it has been a very cold March in CT. Today started off in the thirties and it felt relatively warm. This weekend might get to the fifties. I'll have to resist the urge to go outside without a jacket. :smiley:

I'm enjoying the current weather. Not looking forward to what's ahead, so I'm enjoying it now.

I am fed up with this cold weather. I pay my amenities fee and should have better weather. I intend to write an angry letter to the Morse family and complain!:laugh::laugh::laugh

Then the Morse family will give every resident a "free" winter coat paid for by the amenities fee. They can't change the weather but they can keep you warm. I'm getting a warm fuzzy feeling just thinking about it. :D

I am freezing and you can't ski The Villages, heck I can't even golf too cold

I was cold until I spoke to my kids and heard about all of the snow and low temps in the teens in Missouri, then all of a sudden I felt much warmer.

I thought when I bought here there was a temperature guarantee and if it got below that guarantee someone from the developer would follow me around with a heater so I could still swim in comfort and make sure I was warm while I played my free golf for life. :smiley::smiley:

on the weather news last night the weather person said last years last frost of the year was in early February. This year it is in Late March.

During our 9 years we have seen a few colder days; and sometimes for a week at a time.....but we could always seem to look forward to that being over and done by the end of January. This year is the longest and lousiest Florida weather yet!!!

And even with that it still beats the you know what out of any city up North.

A Possibility
 

An article at Weather Underground reports that researchers have linked large snowstorms and cold spring weather across Britain and large parts of Europe and North America to the dramatic loss of Arctic sea ice. It is thought that the Arctic ice loss adds heat to the ocean and atmosphere, which shifts the position of the jet stream, allowing cold air from the Arctic to plunge much further south. Researchers expect that a warming Arctic ocean will drive more extreme weather in North America and Europe.
