There's a foot of snow on Jacobs Field in Cleveland right now ...
And HEAVY snow and MORE COLD on tap for Wisconsin, tonight and tomorrow.
Spring weather in the midwest isn't even in the 10 -14 day long range forecast. Can't help but thinking MOST of the GOOD people back there are sick of it!!

Depends on what you mean by spring weather...
The majority of our forecast is below 50 F, with our warmest day forecast at 59 F; still not warm enough for anything to come into bloom...

That's funny, because the Indians moved their "home" series scheduled for today through Thursday to Milwaukee. I guess the players will have to slog through feet of snow to get to the dome ...
And having lived in Wisconsin, it wasn't only the cold--it was the amount of overcast/gray days too. Not only in the winter but very typical of April, October and especially November as well. I recall a string of 19 straight days of overcast, was in April of 98 or 99. Somewhere I saw an article on Beckley West Virginia-supposedly has the least amount of sunny days of anywhere in the nation. Actually the coldest days in Wisconin, during the winter months, it's often sunny.
This post cracked me up...
I'd like to throw the PNW (specifically Western Washington) into the argument. Let me sum it up by saying...the quote above references a month 8 years ago that had 19 stright days of overcast. I bet you couldn't find a year in the last 50 that we HAVEN'T had at least 20 days straight of overcast/drizzle. A few years ago we had a period where it rained every day for 100 days. In fact, you can pretty much count on overcast grey drizzly weather from Mid October to June...there are a few nice days in there every once in awhile...but a sunny day is a rarity. Then in the summer, sunny weather is certainly not a given. It has rained on many 4th of July's.
Sure, it doesn't get too cold, or too hot, but it's just overcast, grey and depressing far more often than not.

Maybe--But the stadium in Milwaukee is awesome. And Warm!!!

I see. Yes, that may be depressing for some people indeed. I think WEATHER FACTORS are why the majority of people move here to Las Vegas/Henderson. Just about everyone I speak with who is from the Northeast or Midwest, say they would never go back. As much as I Loved Wisconsin, I will only go back there to visit. And only in the summer/early fall.
Barrow, Alaska. Temps are consistantly below zero for the winter months and add in the weeks of total darkness and you have a pretty bad mix.
For the lower 48 it'd have to be the UP of Michigan, they get tons of snow every year and the blistering Canadian air makes it tough in the winter even for the hardiest of souls.
I'd have to co-sign on that.
In general, I'm not very fond of extremes, whether it be extremely humid, scorching dry heat (although that's more tolerable to be than excessive humidity), constant grey and rain, 100 inches of snow a year, etc. I think anyplace that has "extreme" weather like this for much of the year would be off-limits for me which is why most likely parts of Alaska, cold, dark, grey and snowy for a good chunk of the year, would be my nightmare.
With 8 months of winter, feet upon feet of snow and temps dipping and steadying at minus 20-60 degrees below zero, a couple weeks of the year of warm weather and mostly brown/gray landscape, lately dodging tornadoes and high winds in general (in the summer seasons), I'd honestly have to say North Dakota.
For most, this is a BAD climate, but being born and raised in this weather, it doesn't really affect me. It's April 10th in Northern ND and we have snow and you CANNOT go outside without your parka! Our high today was 39 degrees I believe...
