Yeah. So I'm done with winter.

A balmy 2 degrees on my way into work today. I washed the T-bird on my way home yesterday, but even inside the garage the doors froze shut, lol.

Supposedly Sunday and Monday we're supposed to get snow-bombed again. Estimates range from 6 to 18 inches.

Here I thought I could wait until spring to replace that slipping belt on my snow blower. But as Roy Orbison would say "It's now or neverrrrr"...

the first A hole that complains about the heat this summer Im going to punch out....LOL
LOL!

High of 15 degrees today.  10 more inches of snow on the way this weekend.  I took the Cougar out for a nice drive Wednesday after swapping out the fan, fan clutch, battery (STONE DEAD even after starting the car regularly.  Did I mention it was only 1 1/2 yrs old), and the IAC (removing it and cleaning it with penetrant every so often finally stopped working).  First time I had the car out since December.  Guess it'll be remanded to the driveway yet again.  I'm pretty sure my Mustang has no idea what a road looks like anymore.

It was 30* today. Felt balmy after it being 9* for a high yesterday.

We're supposed to get 2-4 inches of snow tomorrow. I guess it will at least make the Hawks/Penguins outdoor game at Soldier Field feel wintry. Then it can melt, along with the rest of the gray/icy  we have everywhere. It's supposed to be 33* on Thursday and 40* on Friday next week. First back to back days above freezing in 10 days. It's March tomorrow. Why won't it warm up :mad:?

Been a low of 40° and highs 50-60° the last week or so with occasional rain. I hope our mild temps start hitting you guys soon. I haven't seen freezing temps yet this month thanks to the high pressure parked right over us the last few weeks. February is generally our coldest month of the year. we had 11 days over 100°f last July and a total of I believe 33 total days last year over 95.

In needs to cool down to keep the snow in the mountains and prevent flooding so we don't end up in a drought this summer

65* today. Dry, all of the snow is gone. However, tomorrow's forecast calls for an ice/snow storm, 6" supposedly (storm warning starts at 8am). Then back to 19* Thursday. What a joke.

Was below freezing this morning with hail. rain snow mix for the midday, then sun all afternoon. I think we only got up to 45ish if I had to guess.

They changed our forecast, now it's supposed to be 3* tonight. That's right,  63* yesterday, 3* today. Nuts.
