Bizarre warmth has come in to Boston this morning . . . drizzle, which on its own merits, plus melting some of the snow, is making for wicked deep puddles. Current temperature is 52° !!!

When I left for work this morning, there was close to a foot of snow in my yard. I just came home and it's all gone! The warm temperature and heavy rain washed it all away.

It's supposed to go back down below freezing overnight, so the roads will be skating rinks tomorrow.

Went to the store to get a few groceries and the wind that whipped up in that parking lot made it feel a lot colder than it actually was. I had on a sweater, a leather jacket, and a scarf and I was still freezing my ass off. The temperature right now is 21°F but the wind was blowing 20 mph. I still don't see how my Northern neighbors stand this weather! This ol' Georgia boy can't take this shit! :D

Well it's 12°F right now, which was expected, but I hope it warms up tomorrow and that damn wind subsides. I can deal with a cold that's still, it's the wind that gets me every time. But, thankfully, we've had no rain and it's been nothing but a blue sky. The snow and ice can stay in Minnesota (sorry Dave). 8)

I can hear the wind, so I readily credit the weather report of 15°, feels like -2°.

I hope each and every North American GMGer is alive and well. You must keep in mind that, as the current Romanian president Traian Basescu once said, the winter is nothing like the summer. So lift your hearts and cheer up, there is a summer to come.  :D

"the winter is nothing like the summer..."  No wonder he got to be president! That would work here, too, being relatively non-controversial. :D

Hey, Florestan. Thanks for the cheering up. I know when I thaw out I will look back and appreciate it even more.

Well, it's 8°F right now and I'm hating every minute of it. I'm happy to be inside, and warm, but my goodness spring can't get here soon enough.

We got a little bit lucky in that the center of the Polar Vortex (don'tcha love having a name for everything?) came down east of us. So you guys got shithammered while we just got backdoored. Anyway, this AM they were predicting 13°F, but it only got to 17, so it was rather luxurious. :)

You lucky bastards. :P Well, it's supposed to warm up throughout the week, so here's for hoping warm temperatures come our way as the week progresses.

We're sorta used to it. :) It's all relative anyway; to you, 8 degrees is like 50 below!  ;D

That's true and thankfully there's no wind chill (right now), but having a strong wind chill would be the perfect cherry on top of this cold as shit f***** up morning. :P

Well it's a nice, as they say balmy, 43°F right now with a clear sky. Beautiful day. Looks like this arctic blast is behind us. Now, the weather wizards say it's supposed to rain the rest of the week. ::)
