Spring/Summer weather thread.

[TexasRaceLady]

Hopefully, winter is finished with most of us.

I know Spring has arrived in East Texas. Both mowers, 4-wheeler & trailer, and chainsaw have been
getting good work-outs.

Right now, 80° and sunny.

 

[Johali]

Still dreary and windy but looking up.

 

[BobbyFord]

Cloudy and misty when I woke up at 4:00am. Upper 70's right now. Upper 80's forecasted for Easter.

Here's a screenshot I took of last weekend's forecast; it ended up getting much hotter and dropping much colder.

It was 85 degrees this past Sunday. I spent the day hiking with my girlfriend. Then on Tuesday it started off in the mid-60s, but later plummeted into the high 20s and there was snow accumulation. I hate living in Syracuse haha

We're supposed to be getting our first taste of the 60's Saturday.

Wow thats crazy!

 

[BobbyFord]

I don't want it to ever be 30 where I live.

Especially not at 4pm.

Especially not at 4pm.

30 is pretty warm compared to the temps in the middle of winter. I plan to get out of here ASAP once I'm done with school; I'm not meant for this cold! haha

 

[BobbyFord]

Gonna be 80 in Malibu today. Nice day for a ride.

 

[Johali]

Overcast and 66*. I love it.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Bright sunshine and 81° on the front porch.

Went off daylight savings time last weekend....never a good sign. We're now 5 hours behind PST or 8 hours behind Eastern but a day ahead.
7am here and only 60. Rained overnight but I see blue sky...which is good because I have chores.

Go catch another fish or two while you still can.

They're starting to head for deeper water already.
But even in winter I'll go out on nice days or target a different species.

 

[BobbyFord]

It's not a fish, it's a feed.

I'd like to target Kingfish seen in this video.....In Cali they call them Yellowtail...we get them up to 100lb

This English dude came down to NZ for a spearfishing experience and made this film.

It really looks very New Zealandy if you know what I mean. And some nice Kingfish/Yellowtail there.
BTW Aotearoa is the Maori name for NZ

 

[Johali]

It looks familiar. I'll see if I can find a local equivalent.

 

[BobbyFord]

...In Cali they call them Yellowtail...

In New York they call 'em Tuner fish.

In New York they call 'em Tuner fish.

Yeah?...they aren't a Tuna but are a great fighting fish.

 

[BobbyFord]

But aren't they yellowfin?

I think that there are a lot of fish that go by Yellowtail. I don't think any of them are tuna.

Looks sorta like an amberjack. I'll look it up later.

 

[Johali]

Here it comes again TRL. Hail, thunderstorms, flood warnings etc over your way. Be careful over there.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Looks like I'll be under the gun late this afternoon/early evening.

I heard it on the news earlier and checked the radar. It looks pretty bad.

 

[Benevolent One]

It looks like some perfect weather for fixing the breaks on the truck today. Heading over to my brother's house to have him help my son and I. It's sunny and headed towards a high of about 74 today.
