It's more consistently warm (around the 60's) in the Pacific Northwest.  I can't wait till I can wear shorts to and from work every day!

Predictions of 60 plus weather the next three days!   :thumbup:

We had the most gloriously warm and sunny day so far this year; each day has been getting better and better.  The horrible snow is all gone and crocuses are blooming all over my neighborhood.  It feels like Spring has sprung!   :smile: 

Glorious sunshine for ST. PATRICK'S DAY.  Saw a bit of the parade and even ate America's version of traditional fare: corned beef, cabbage and potatoes (true Irish eat bacon - corned beef was the easy substitute for the Irish who came to America - corned beef is Jewish!)  I've always been proud to say I'm 100% Irish on both sides.

54 F here but we had one hell of a long winter.
We had our first snow last year early November, and it has been snowing almost everyday since New Years, with temperatures constantly below the freezing point. Most of the snow is now gone and I'm kind of sad because I prefer cold over warm. Maybe I should move to Alaska or something.

Actually, you might want to move to the Russian Vostok Station in Antarctica, where the coldest temperature on earth was ever recorded on July 21, 1983. The temperature got down to -129 degrees F. And that does not take into account the Wind Chill Factor.
Of course, one of the disadvantages to living in the Antarctica, especially during the winter, is the ratio is about 100 men to every woman.

Hmm. Not good. I think I rather move to Maine.

We've been enjoying early spring since about January.   :tongueout:

And nature owes it to us after the last two years of s**tting snow on our city.

Last week Friday we had our first brief thunderstorm after two unusual warm days. The temperatures did drop over the weekend though and its back below the freezing point since Monday. Go figure. My sister even had to scrape ice and frost off her car in the morning.

Judging by the temperatures in the morning here, we're heading slowly into winter.
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

It's supposed to snow here tonight!  :buggedout:

Mr. DS

Around 2:30 this afternoon here in the Pocono Mtns of PA, the temperture dropped to below freezing and the rain (which has been around for 2 days) quickly turned into ice and snow.  About 2 inches of snow/ ice mix covered the grassy areas and the roads very quickly. There were 22 car accidents on the roads iin less than an hour! What a mess!  Watched the weather and the forecast said maybe another 3 inches of snow overnite.  But tomorrow the storm moves out, temps rise, and it's supposed to be close to 80 degrees on Friday!  What a way to end the month of March! :buggedout:

It was 70 yesterday, supposed to be 75 today, and 80 tomorrow.  Tulips are coming up, last year's chives are growing, rhubarb is busting out of the ground, and the golf course is open.  And I've got a pulled muscle in my back and am walking around like a bent over old man  :hatred:
