Amen! I'm not sure why everyone is in such a "panic" over it being slow. We've all seen this before. We're just stuck in a slow pattern right now, and to be quite honest, I don't recall very many 70 degree dewpoint days in March or early April... heck, the trees aren't even out yet.
It's those dull-drum days of Winter that have us all down, but chin up mates! You can bet there'll be some awesome days this year, and no one can really predict what later this month or May, or heck, even June on into July will bring.
If I recall, 1998 was a slow-start year but the chase season lasted well into June and July even in Oklahoma. Perhaps it's just one of those years where everything's a little later. (so much for the Global Warming theory) :lol:
So, relax. If you wanna chase, chase. If not, save the gas money. My gut feelings are that Karen is right on the pattern being slow until May, but... that doesn't mean that I will be holding off chasing until then. If it's going to storm, I will go out. Photogenic storms and simply enjoying Mother Nature's show is what it's all about for me. Hey, think of it this way, you can't win the lottery if you don't play, right? :wink:
I'll close with this however... I'm sitting here in Denver ready to depart back home tomorrow morning. The locals here (forecasters) are calling for this storm to appear much stronger than the last... so... looks like we could have a good CC system, and if we're lucky enough to get our DPs up to ~ 60 in Oklahoma, the system could be more reflective of March 21st instead of this past one.
