Not going outside today.
Expecting 70s for Saturday and Sunday.
They're saying we'll be 42 this weekend. I'll believe it when I see it.
There was a chickadee outside two weeks ago. It's probably a popsicle for cats after the sub-zero nights we had.

Weather is brutal here right now. rare snow squall blew in from Coney Island and white rabbits are falling from the sky.
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
With about 2½-3 hours before sunrise, this is the temperature. We're about 500' higher, so take 2 degrees off of that temp. Hence Chickadee popsicle. Notice Weds 3/12 and Thurs 3/13 of next week. -2ºF and -8ºF forecast lows. We're not free of winters grip yet.

Isn't it weird ? It's kind of like your country and my country traded weather. Usually we get the unseasonably mild winter here and you guys get the cold stuff. This year we seem to have traded places. Actually this winter this year reminds me of the kind of winters I remember from when I was a kid back in the 60's. Back then we used to get some long cold ones with a lot of snow.. This reminds me of then.

It looks like we're in for some big thawing this weekend, but with more snow to come. It looks like rain coming for this afternoon. At 35 degrees, we should be OK, but I bet most of it freezes on contact with the very cold ground. Snow is just a pain to deal with, but ice is a special treat - that's what usually causes damage, and if we get a lot of rain, we'll have floods. The snow is 7 feet deep around here in places.
Just recorded this and uploaded it about an hour ago... Sooo Niiiiiice
