It's 72 degrees F outside...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

And the sun is shining. I've got my windows open.

What's it like where you are?

[Midlodemocrat]

1. Same. I'm loving it.

Except for the impact on the climate of course. The impact on my wallet is what I'm referring to.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

5. It's good for fuel bills, that's certain...

But I have a hunch we'll get ours later. :hi:

[lost-in-nj]

2. feels like spring here

it's 63 now
but I'll bet it hit 65


smells nice and I had my screen door open!!


lost

[GoddessOfGuinness]

8. It's kind of weird to see insects flying around in January.

The birds are enjoying it! :D

[TommyO]

3. Mid 60's here, when I got home at lunchtime it was 74 inside, with nothing but solar gain

the windows are cracked open now and the warm winter breeze is quite refreshing!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

9. It's nice, isn't it?

I'm going to give the dog a bath...

[TommyO]

26. Even though I'm a winter person, it is saving on the natural gas

for both me, and my mother who is living on a fixed-income.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

29. I so wish the money that's been going into this war

was going into affordable alternative energy research and production instead.

[NightWatcher]

4. are you in my backyard? if so, HI

[GoddessOfGuinness]

11. MD suburbs of DC...

Where are you? :hi:

[NightWatcher]

15. savannah, ga

:hi:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

27. One of my favorite cities!

My grandfather was born outside of Savannah, in an area now called Rincon.

[xchrom]

6. i'll be right over -- i'm in the bay area and i'm freezing.

i've turned into a cold wussie in my old age.

i just don't like to be cold any more.

on edit -- i'm abandoning you and going where redqueen is -- it's 76 there.

i can't believe i misspelled ''there''.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

12. When this front came through I was miserable...

achy, sinuses clogged, migraine...blech!

Getting old sucks. :(

[xchrom]

16. it wouldn't be so bad -- but i REMEMBER

my young body.

and when i get up in the morning -- i keep thinking my body will react like it did when i was nineteen.

have you gotten out of bed and had your feet hurt for no reason yet?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

28. I've got plantar fasciitis

Not fun.

[xchrom]

37. sorry that's happened to you --

not fun at all.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

40. I have a friend whose husband has it...

and he STILL does his tennis thing. I guess I shouldn't gripe so much... :hug:

[xchrom]

44. it's not griping -- it's your body...

:hug:

[redqueen]

7. Windy, mostly cloudy, 76 degrees.

Bleh. x(

[GoddessOfGuinness]

13. I'd rather have a reall blast of winter before this...

But at least it isn't 90!

[AllegroRondo]

10. Same here. Just broke a 100 yr old record for January.

How about that Global Warming?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

17. Yup...

:(

[texas1928]

14. Sunny and in the 70's

But the GD wind is blowing. Here we go... DIRT STORMS!!!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

18. Yikes!

That sounds like it would not be fun!

[texas1928]

19. Yeah you get a heavy dose of minerals if you go outside.

Only time it is not fun is when rocks get to blowing in it as well.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

20. What does one wear in a dust storm?

[texas1928]

23. Stuff that does not show off dirt as bad.

Black is a bad color, and women should try and avoid dresses. No need showing off the goodies.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

30. Plus, I'd think it's sting your legs...

[fizzgig]

21. cloudy, chilly and breezy

we hit the upper 30s today, but that's pretty much normal for this time of year. i'm just glad our cold spell finally broke. it was a colder than normal december and down right frigid up until a few days ago.

but i really shouldn't complain...this is winter in colorado

[GoddessOfGuinness]

31. The weatherman said temperatures would drop later in the week...

to "only about 50 degrees".
Around here, 50 in January is pretty damn good!

[fizzgig]

34. as nice as 50s would be here

that type of weather always kinds of freaks me out because it just feels wrong

[GoddessOfGuinness]

36. We often get a day or two of freak warm weather in January...

but it really should be closer to 40 degrees.

[flvegan]

22. 80 degrees and sunny here.

Nice breeze, though.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

32. Glad you have a breeze to keep you cool!

I was reading about hard freeze warnings in FL last week. Hope the crops weren't ruined. :hi:

[Fox Mulder]

24. 44 degrees F. In January. In Minnesota.

And they say global warming isn't happening...

:eyes:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

33. This must put a crimp in many a young hockey player's style...

Don't you need a prolonged hard freeze to make ice safe to skate upon?

[MnFats]

25. 35F...a real friggin' heat wave.

mushy snow everywhere.
and i'm not kidding, 35 is well above normal....coldest, statistically, comes at the end of this month...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

35. What's normal?

[tigereye]

38. 64 here, it's nice, but kind of odd

the Christmas lights look funny considering how warm it is.


oh, and all the dogs were out and barked at us when we took a walk a little while ago.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

41. We have a neighbor with one of those Christmas lawn ornaments

that looks like a palm tree. It fits right in!

[yellowdogintexas]

39. like normal March weather, not January. this is the first of several spring

thaws for North Texas

[GoddessOfGuinness]

42. Does it usually get cold there?

[yellowdogintexas]

43. yes, and sometimes it even snows. It got down to 28 dgrees New Years Eve

I was frantically planting my daffodils to get them in ground so they would chill for me.

it stayed chilly most of the week then warmed up Saturday. We will do this several times before it stays warm for good.

We are normally good for one really good Ice Storm per winter. Usually in early Feb, or a good round of freezing rain, during the Fort Worth Stock Show.

[stuntcat]

45. Arlington, VA- high was upper 60's

I opened the windows and I went out and shoveled some dirt around. I found a CUTE salamander who I hope will make it when it freezes again next week, I guess it'll be okay.
My aunt in Norfolk had a couple of over-wintering butterflies born on her porch and she had to let them out even though there are no flowers for them and they'll die tonight. It's officially weird weather today for the butterflies I think.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

47. It's not bad tonight...

Maybe they'll survive... :hi:

[hellbound-liberal]

46. It was 66 in Central Virginia today

I guess I should be happy but I really want to get some cool weather before spring. A well-placed snow storm in February would be nice to give the kids (and us) a break.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

48. I love a good February snow...

It'd be great if it snowed like crazy on a Sunday into a Monday, so people wouldn't get caught in a rush-hour blizzard.

[krispos42]

49. Dense fog. about 28 degrees

Yippee...

[Lady Freedom]

50. I' ve got tornadoes.

[donheld]

51. I hate you

It didn't even make it to 30 yesterday.

[Arkansas Granny]

52. Right now, it's 70 degrees at 5:30 a.m. and we have a chance of

rain today. There were tornadoes to the north of us last night, but we didn't have any bad weather here. I slept with my bedroom windows open last night. Strange weather for January.
