Long range forecast for East coast is below average temps for the next several weeks.

At least it's above freezing during the daytime.

Dress for the cool weather and ride. That's what the big boys do.

That's some consolation there.

They keep moving spring back. Every time I look at the extended forecast it is supposed to get into the high 30s+ five to seven days from now. It has been that way for the past three weeks. The warming trend is always coming but today we have "one more day" of unseasonably cold weather. Well today I woke to actual temps of -10F and a 15-foot pile of snow running along the length of my 50-foot long driveway. It looked and felt more like January than the end of March. We often have cold snaps during the spring but this year winter not only wouldn't let go, but struck with a vengance. We got more snow and impassable road conditions in the last four weeks than we get in the average entire winter.

So I checked the weekend outlook. Warmer (YAY!) but only to around 30F with a 50% chance of light snow Friday and Saturday with 18-20 mph winds (un-YAY!). Weatherman apologetically forecast temps of 30-degrees below normal for the next 10 days to two weeks and then topped it off by announcing that we have a 50% chance of major flooding this spring and a 15% chance of record flooding. Oh well, who wants to ride bike when you can throw sandbags?

Sorry, I know I have made several posts about our crappy spring, but there really isn't much else going on in my cycling life except for another week on the indoor trainer.

This time last year it was in the 80's here.

Hey, we've got sunshine. Of course you have to get into an airplane to see it, but it's there.

Kuotient 03-21-13 11:35 PM

I'm wondering where spring is too....seems like summer just started here in Texas this past weekend! Monday's high hit 91 degrees....................................

36Oly_Rider 03-22-13 12:29 AM

I wish Hawaii had more than one season...I love the rain here though, well, except the down pours...I have a bad habit of getting hit by bus tsunamis...

escarpment 03-22-13 12:48 AM

The weather hasn't changed since january for us, and all the mtb tracks are still covered in jaged ice. Still stuck on my trainer. You know your from the midwest when the prospect of 35 makes your day.

WHOOOSSHHH... 03-22-13 03:02 AM

This is o e of the years where we go from winter straight to summer... The how hot is to hot posts are right around the corner...

patentcad 03-22-13 03:32 AM

It's not here.

Andy Somnifac 03-22-13 05:44 AM

Couple of hours south of the OP and it's not here either. I guess spring is taking an extended vacation in southern California from the looks of things.

Machka 03-22-13 06:11 AM

I'm not expecting anything spring-like for another 6 months ... autumn has only just begun. The temperatures have only just started dropping from scorching heat to something reasonably tolerable.

One forecaster yesterday said maybe up to three months weeks of this pattern

RT 03-22-13 06:21 AM

Here's to hoping this is the end of winter. The forecast for the weekend predicts much indoor activity, lots of TV and gaining a few pounds.

The weather guessers around here are incapable of giving an entire forecast in one sitting. ADD in the broadcasting industry runs rampant. You get the forecast in bits and pieces across 30 minutes, and you hear more about what MAY be happening somewhere, sometime in the next few days than you do about the weather for that day.

Machka 03-22-13 06:31 AM

Two weeks ago ... on the Labour Day long weekend ... :) It was about 35C that weekend ...
