Winter Depression Thread

[BuckeyeNut]

I think it's funny reading posts from Florida golfers boo-hoo'ing about 60 degree temps.   In these parts, people start wearing shorts when it's 60 degrees.  LOL

45°!!! But next week the lows are 13, 12, and 14 on three consecutive days.

The forecast is usually off. It is often 5-10° colder at night than the forecast.

47* tomorrow, but snow for Thursday.  Seems we just can't get rid of winter here.

I'd be happy to trade with you...
I'll give you a -21 Celsius (-5.8 Fahrenheit) which fells like -28 Celsius ( -18.4 Fahrenheit) for your 47 Fahrenheit (9 Celsius) any day of the week and twice on Sundays at this time of the year!

-18F was our average low for the winter I think

Kind of feel bad about the snow melting now with everything flooding. :( Fortunately my house is on a hill, lots of others not so lucky though.

I do not think these other guys can comprehend what 60 degrees and wind feels like here. Today was pretty brutal when the sun was not out and beautiful when it was.

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you. The wind howling at 15mph while the temperature was single digits this week makes it a bit difficult.

Might hit 60 tomorrow but we're looking at accumulating snow on Thursday.

There hasn't been enough melt to play even with some warmer temps here and there.

I played 18 in about 2.5 hours late yesterday afternoon.  It was in the mid 40s but reached 60 the day before, which melted almost all the snow.  Lumpiest greens I've ever seen, but it was good to get out there.

I'm off to Florida for 4 days of golf tomorrow!  It is supposed to snow while I am away.  Luckily, for me, my son is back on spring break, so he gets to shovel for me!!!

As of this morning...

Maybe this weekend. Maybe....

Finally able to start Golf Season 2014 in Southern PA this afternoon!!!! For me, that means at least two good weeks of short game work, followed by at least 3-4 sessions on the range before I even think about stepping up to a TeeBox. Otherwise, my Winter Depression would turn into Poor Play Depression very quickly.

47° now… and 12 inches of snow on the way. Oy.

Yeah we're getting teased today too. Supposed to get into the 60's this afternoon but they say snow tomorrow. Got to 73 yesterday but I still wasn't ready to get the summer clothes out. Though it was the first day I didn't wear a mock neck outside in long time. Surprisingly the courses were relatively slow not many people out enjoying the warm temps. There were aeration plugs on the course I played so getting closer every day.

Aside from Wednesday and Thursday this week, we're supposed to be at least in the mid 40's here in Indiana. I can play in that, but all the courses I've talked to said they are looking to open April 1st. Apparently, ground is frosted down to about 48" deep. That frost needs to thaw out or else the courses would take a beating. It'll be frustrating as heck to have days in the 50's and STILL not be able to golf yet!

51° here by Cleveland... and 5-8" of snow on the way on Wednesday.. (same boat as you Erik...)

I can't take it anymore. We have gone from 50° and sunny to 20° and blizzard conditions in the span of 18 hours like twice in the past week or so. This better be the last blast of Winter because I am absolutely dying to get on the course. It's looking like another late/short season for us here since most courses are anticipating golf being impossible until the mid/late April.

It's warm here in Southern Ontario today... even made it out to the golf store.  But it looks like more snow is coming... I'm afraid we won't be able to start golfing until the start of May!

[Valleygolfer]

4 inches of snow this morning. Mother #$@¿ER I refuse to clear it...
