Looking at the latest Discussion for this region it reminded me how unstable this area is with always changing patterns.
High Pressure, Stalled front, Low Pressure, Warm front, Cold front, Upper Low, another front.... all within next 5-7 days.
Wondering if you're area is the same.

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure drifts to the south this evening as a stationary
front develops in the vicinity. A weak low moves along the
front tonight. High pressure builds back into the area from the
north on Wednesday. A warm front approaches Wednesday night and
Thursday, and lifts north Thursday night. A cold front follows
and passes through on Saturday. An upper level disturbance
lingers near the area for the end of the weekend. Another
frontal system impacts the area at the beginning of next week.
There's that mark Twain quote for New England "If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes" for a reason.
The weather can still be quite bipolar in terms of temperatures here in Indianapolis during March and for much of April; I would say that weather patterns tend to stabilize more towards late May or early June and even then the weather is changeable still.
My area is basically the opposite. A weather pattern will settle in and stay for weeks or months.
That is awesome. While the rapid changes keeps us on our heels, I think I'd rather have weeks/months of same pattern. Makes things predictable where as we're constantly looking at the forecasts here to plan ahead (or even afternoon day of)

Yup, Summer, when the Jet Stream lifts north and is flat across Canada, except past few years it's been dipping giving us the ups and downs even in summer. Summer is probably the only season I do not want stable weather patterns unless its a cool OR dry one.
Spring and fall yes. Winter as well, though it seems more likely for a certain pattern to settle in for a week or two at a time. But you can still get sudden changes.
Summer is the only season that is pretty consistent. Cold fronts are generally too weak to penetrate this far south.
As gleaned from my 12+ years of recording the weather in England, most weather patterns get stuck in for periods of 2-4 weeks, though more often about 10 days to 2 weeks or so. This year is following the pattern so far. First half of January mild, second half cold; first half of February unsettled and a bit mild, second half very dry settled and mild; first half of March very unsettled wet and stormy, second half benign and dry; first half of April cold and cloudy, second half to be rather milder and sunnier.
I think the weather could be more changeable here to make it more interesting, it isn't as changeable as continentally influenced climates obviously.
I'm in Colorado. Weather change is the only constant. For some reasons my air-pressure-related sinus headaches are better here than in Jersey, but they can still get pretty ugly. Only place that I've been headache free has been Ireland.
