Amen. I had coworkers talking about taking long walks at lunch because of how warm it was. I think they realized how cold temperatures still were about halfway out.
I went out an shoveled some snow off the wife's side of the driveway. Spent about 15 minutes outside. Neighbor asked if I was cold since I wasn't wearing a jacket, just a cotton long sleeved shirt.
With no breeze, it wasn't bad at all. Not like last week when the high was -4 and the wind chill was -45 with blowing snow.
Sweater and a vest bicycling weather. Don't even need the survival gear backback. Pavement mostly dry. West wind was a solid wall of resistance-workout, tho.
Ain't putting the wool and Windstopper suit away, yet, tho.
Has been around -5 C (23 F) for the last couple of days on this part of the planet (Finland). Before that between -20 and -25 C for a few weeks. Yes, right now feels quite warm. I haven't even been wearing long underwear.
Oh no kidding. Poor Frank (mah dog) got his first nice long walk in almost three weeks last night. After a nice 3 miler, he collapsed in contented heap, and didn't move until 6am this morning.
In other new, I think I know why he's been running around barking all night.
wv: hexed - my condition when frank doesn't get enough exercise.
Hey, tell me. Thank Algore for globull warming. Imagine what it would be like without it! It was colder here in Austin than it's been in TWENTY YEARS! Got down to 18. And it hasn't hit 70 yet this year!
The polar bears called. They want their ice back.

ReplyDeleteI stole a rare glance out of an exam room window yesterday and immediately ran to my wife's office and flung open the side door.
ReplyDeleteDirect sunlight streamed in for the first time in 2 weeks. My wife barely knew what to say.
This, in a place were 300 sunny days a year is typical.
Oh the weather outside is frightful
ReplyDeleteIt's why I feel so spiteful
This winter stuff is getting old
Effin' Cold Effin' Cold Effin' Cold!
My thoughts on winter in general, now in filk format.
Ain't that the truth.
ReplyDeletewv: bacen. even spelled wrong it sounds delicious.

Your region too? When the temp cracked 40 I stripped down to my speedo style bikini underwear and started singing:
ReplyDeleteI'm Mister
Heat Meiser
I'm Mister... Sun!
I'm Mister
Green Christmas
I'm Mister... 101!
Yeah, it's 41F outside right now. S'posed to be warmer tomorrow and in the 50s next week!
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for the other shoe to drop...
I regret to tell you it's a gray and cloudy 61 degrees in DeeEffDubya.
ReplyDeleteThe dog's waterbowl out back still has a solid chunk of ice in it, though.

Rabbit.
Barkley is laying out on the deck, belly to the sun, acting as his own solar heating source. I may let him sleep on the bed tonight.
ReplyDeleteThe lack of wind and sun made if feel rather warm.
ReplyDeleteFor the first time in a month, I could go out and take the dog on a run.
First day above freezing in Indy since New Year's Eve.

ReplyDelete"I'm Mister Heat Meiser..."
ReplyDeleteHeh. I thought I was the only one who had that song stuck in my head.
I've nicknamed a friend of mine Snow Miser, due to the fact that he *likes* the sub-freezing weather.

On the Marquette campus in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 40 degrees marks the return of shorts on the students.
