Muggy and oddly warm, but clammy as well.

Still 44 degrees, dark and rainy. With a flood watch today, which I personally think is little hyperbolic.

We got about a foot of snow between yesterday and this morning. Now it's foggy, but they are calling for another 2 feet over the next couple of days.
74° and sunny 
After nearly three weeks of no precipitation we finally got a mix of rain and snow flurries today. Temps just above freezing.
Perfect sleeping weather.
Remember what today is.... ^^^...!!!
"CNN :
Punxsutawney Phil, the famous groundhog weather watcher, was pulled from his warm burrow this morning and saw his shadow, predicting six more weeks of winter.
Each February 2, on Groundhog Day, the members of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club make the pilgrimage to Gobbler’s Knob — Phil’s official home. Legend has it, if he sees his shadow, six more weeks of winter are on the way. If he doesn’t, an early spring arrives.
In reality, winter will end on the spring equinox, known also as the vernal equinox, on March 20 at 5:01 a.m. ET, regardless of Sunday’s prediction. But weather conditions don’t always follow the timetable — and neither does Phil."

We got about 6" of snow yesterday and more to come tonight! Yay! I expect to hear snowmobiles crossing our road frontage any minute now. Snow is good for our winter economy. Restaurants, taverns, hotels, resorts, etc. all benefit from a deep snowpack.
it is winterish today, about 5 below (that is in F, if the measurement has a - sign it is metric)
60* and sunny now, high of 73*.
It's February for crying out loud!!!!!

Snowing here today. We could get another 3 feet this week. It's about time we start getting snow again.
Typical February weather.
It's about time you got your cold weather back.
Here in MI I suppose we're doing alright with daytime temps high enough to melt some snow.

Had windows open today, just remembered the kitchen window is still open, about 59 and clear at midnight. Monday will be even warmer, 82 for a high. Oh actually supposed to be really warm all week until next Sunday temps drop lower.
We had light snow all day today! Light fluffy stuff but steady all day and temps remained just above freezing. Yay! I'm hoping it will continue for quite a while so we will get some really good snow cover on all of the mountains.

We ended up with about a foot of new snow today. Possibly several more feet on the way. I'm not going to try opening the road until this storm is over, the wind will just blow it in again anyway. We haven't been out since last Tuesday.
This is one of the things that we prep for.

I had several windows open all night! We only went down to 55°, but the house is chilly this morning!! I'm looking for upper 80's today! We'll be back to February soon. It will be interesting to see how the month plays out!!

Looks like summer there. I love four unique seasons. From what I see, Texas has only two seasons: hot summer and cool summer.
78* sunny and windy. High of 80* today.
Back to more normal temps as of Sunday, but until then it's freakin beach weather here.
Maybe Pearl will slip into her bathing suit and go swimming??

85° out west of you right now!! I'll be heading for the pool float, did that yesterday too for a bit! Only my rear end and back of my legs are in the cold water on the float chair! No swimming yet! Water was 60° yesterday, is 63° right now!! Swimsuit and a couple of tank tops over it!78* sunny and windy. High of 80* today.

This reminds me of a phone call from our Belton, TX daughter from few years ago. It was springtime. We were enjoying lunch at a restaurant that overlooked a nearby lake. My wife asked her daughter if the kids were having fun in the pool. Our Texas daughter said it was way too cold to get into the pool. Just as she said that, a speedboat went by our lakeside window. The boat was towing an inflatable water toy with two kids riding on it.85° out west of you right now!! I'll be heading for the pool float, did that yesterday too for a bit!
