I need a beer.
Me too. Reminds me of why I live in the South. This is the second snow already this winter. Hopefully we don't have too many more.

I can't wait for the snow tomorrow!
Lemme see here....
Snow day: Check. (Boss gave me something to do at home and told me not to come in.)
Snowshoes: Check.
Snowshoe Poles: Check.
2 dogs to tag along with me: Check and check.
5 mile loop at a park about to be covered with snow: Check.
Wooohoooo!
Hiking is probably my favorite outdoor thing to do, and I love winter and snow, so this is basically two great tastes that taste great together.

Was almost 60 here today. We were all dying in the office, the thermometer said 74 inside. First we tried opening the windows, then we turned the AC on.
I'm gonna die in sudden 80+ humid weather next month on vacation.

VT: not to fear its in the 20's with severe wind today/tomorrow (wind chill will be lower) and they 're calling for 2-4 in. of snow on Monday. You can turn the AC off.

^I think we forgot to do that. There was only one guy still there when I left. Time to break out the down coat I brought home from NY on Monday I guess.
60 is usually my favorite kind of weather. Not too hot or cold, jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt weather. When the temp jumps 30 degrees suddenly though, it feels hot.
Also, WTF is up with this wind today? I had to fetch my garbage cans from the park next door earlier. (Garbage day is Friday so they're empty) I ended up putting a couple of unopened rock salt bags in them to keep them from blowing halfway to Worcester.

wind was howling last night. I just took the dog outside. Pretty chilly and still lots of wind. Winter is not over yet. Then again it is still only the middle of February. I'm loving the melting we've had the past couple of days. I can actually see the shingles on the roof now.

I just spent the afternoon (literally) on the Ashland Reservoir. It's amazing how much farther you can toss a tennis ball for the dog on a sheet of ice. It was pretty mild in the sun.
It was rotten this morning though, went to the gym around 8:30 and was wondering if my sweaty hair would freeze on the way out.

I don't know what the weather there is now, but in Friday in NYC I walked around all day without a coat. Short sleeves were fine. The day before I carried my coat about 50% of the time. This was all in Manhattan. My daughter and I sat in outdoor patios having coffees or beers and were comfortable. Why can't all of February be like that?
