It's 74 here with a warm tropical breeze from the SE. Weather pattern is changing hopefully it's the end of the cold fronts for us. Water temp is up from years past. That's a good sign.

Spring is Springing

We were hearing a strange sound like a quick knock at regular intervals. It wasn't on the side of the house where there are any pipes, so I'm guessing it's the ice on the roof or gutters. We were below zero this AM and are now up to 6 degrees.

I sometimes think I will never have warm hands and feet again.

I noticed that too! I've been wearing a heavy down coat, down gloves, and a hat in the near zero temps. Today I left the house with a lighter weight jacket, knit gloves, no hat. It was zero degrees and I felt comfortable.

Actually, that might be a bad sign. But I'm glad at least someone on Vintage is enjoying more pleasant weather.

Well, it's a dry cold.

Sun shine today, but forecast calls for another 12" this weekend. Looks like it will be a good spring.

Hope I can get the car out in 2 weeks to go to Scottsdale

yeah a dew point of -20°F would be considered dry.

It has been cold here, but sunny for the most part. Possible snow showers tonight. Today will be 40 - haven't seen anywhere near that recently. Looks like we will finally be getting warmer weather starting Sun - 40s and maybe 50s. Yay!!

16 here right now, but temps are rising. We had another 4" of snow last night and Boston broke their record of 100" of snow in a season. Yikes!

On the plus side, the snow was very light and fluffy and did make for some pretty scenery on the ride to work. However, I'm ready for new scenery. Like flowers and GREEN grass vs white everywhere!
