Indeed. It’s 12 Celsius here in Calgary right now and we had a record of 20 a couple of weeks ago.
I love it!

By 2020 this same photo will have been “smoothed” so that it more accurately depicts the lack of snow and heavy early vegetation that occurred in February of 2015.
14 degrees right now in Chelsea, Michigan. Ready for spring.
Well IF the wind is calm, or at least close to calm, that isn’t a bad situation for a short walk outside.
Now you add a 10 mph “breeze” and all of a sudden it gets a bit more brisk.
“All that white! Must be RACISTS!............
LOL!
It is finally up to 32 here-might get to 45 tomorrow-heat wave!
It was -10F on my car thermometer this morning in Minneapolis. Another reinforcing shot is on its way to points south. Enjoy!
“Why is Lake Erie not frozen? Is it still on fire?.”
It’s frozen solid. Shallowest of the Lakes. And it was the Cuyahoga River that “burned.” It’s in darn good shape now.
Yeah the prospect of above 32F is still quite a ways off.
One problem around here is that ponds and such freeze but not enough to really bear weight. So you get folks falling in, often not surviving. A lot of times kids aren’t told to stay the heck off the ice unless someone can validate the thickness. It seems like when I was young, EVERYBODY knew that, but maybe it’s selective memory.
I was going to walk the trail by the river early this morning, but the mist became sleet and there was already ice on the rocks. There are buds on some of the trees, though...
Well, yeah, all the bad stuff burned off!................
I had a bit of fun with my libinlaw the other night wrt the butter/cholesterol thing,
especially because she’s a dietician.
So... they’ve decided that butter’s not bad for you, eh?
>Well... sort of.. it’s the cholesteral that’s not bad for you.
So... how did they change it from being bad to being good? They’re scientists, right? They’re right. They were right then AND they are right now, right?
>Don’t be ridiculous.
And the scientists are right about Global Warming, right?
Local ‘weatherman’ just announced that this February will finish as the COLDEST in soviet Red Hampshire history. LOL...now the communists here have something else in common with mother Russia...Siberia. Some say 30 more years of these winters are in the offing.
And here at my place in southern New Mexico, it was 5F overnight low, and all the way up to 24F now.
Were it not for AlGore's great efforts to save us from global warming, I'd have to use my freezer to make ice, rather than just setting the water outside.
Speaking of not frozen. Look closely along the south bank of the Illinois River around Ottawa and east to Braidwood. There are two small lakes that are not frozen. Why? Because they’re cooling ponds for a couple of nuclear power plants.
Lake Onterio. . .I believe that is what you meant to say. . .
I was wondering if the cold coming down to the east wasn’t causing a vacuum to the west so I peeked at one of my favorite sites and seems there’s some warm air headed north from hawaii.
