    Ahh..yes. Springtime. Green leaves, grass, flowers, warm breezes...

    Not if you live here today. :garamet:

    The power is out and I will now share with you the views out my windows.

    Oh...shit.....don't open that door!!..

    It is currently 30.7 degrees F. I dunno what that is in Euro-speak. :shrug:

    But...cold but not that bad, for here anyway, in February. :garamet:

    Yeah, I woke up to the same, backed my car out of the driveway at 40 so I could make it over the hump then drove to work. Work was all dark because the power was out and I was hoping it stayed out for a couple hours. Sadly it came on after just one. :garamet:

    I wish he had gotten that, rather than an ice storm. 32 at the moment, but the ice melted off the streets at least. Still, scraping ice off the windshield on April 5th is a bit annoying.

    I actually like this kind of weather quite a bit, just not when I have to still go to work, get the kids to school, etc.

    It's supposed to get up in the 70's here today and near 80 on the weekend. :techman:

    Tamar, we used to talk about how the weather at NAS Brusnwick was often a lot worse than at NAS Kelflavik in Iceland. Kef was on the lower southwestern corner of the island, and got some benefit from warm ocean currents. Maine was always just.....bitter.

    Sunny, mid-70s here today.

    Absolutely beautiful day.

    The only thing that spoiled it is that I had to work (but even work was pretty good for once).

    It was 89 degrees two weeks ago. This morning it's 30 degrees.
    Welcome to Augusta, Georgia in the springtime. :(

    Tiger Woods will be freezing his ass at the Masters today!
    Nahhh, it'll warm up to 50 by the time they tee off.

    The warm fall that was winter this year became spring a few weeks ago. Guess I'd slit my wrists if we got snow now... especially in those masses :soma:

    Scattered sun and clouds today, under 40°F, and an occasional snow flurry.

    I guess it's like this every year, but I start to get real impatient for warm weather once April starts.
