My calendar says we're past the Vernal Equinox and nearing the end of March. My weather seems either to be not paying attention or simply choosing to ignore all that. 
What day is it, really?

Foss, if that is your house and I think it is that is sweet. I saw it in one of your other posts.
Too bad about your weather. We have not had a fire in about a week or so. 70's day, mid 50's night.
Everything starting to get green and bloom here and the peepers are a singing at night. =

that's the kind of weather we expect here on any given day until mid April. Just another day in the 70's for us today though

Sadly no . . . poly cotton uniform . . . but the AC is on . . . and the shorts and T-shirt will be the clothing later this afternoon.

Rick, that is what we normally see in March around these parts. Not so this year. Our thermometers topped 90 today
Normal highs are in the 40's and lows in the 20's.

Hey, it is really nice for riding the bike! Rode to town today rather than driving. Takes a little longer but the ride is very nice. Not normal though to be riding this much in March....or April either. Taking advantage though as only one more day like this left for a while.

Upper 60's here, and 50ish at night (45ish here in Ice Hollow)... no fires in either stove all week (woots! as I look at the wood piles
)
'Course I know at any day it could change, but the daffodillies are blooming, and the hyacinths are getting ready to let off some awesome smells ! Lilacs are budding, and I have mole burrows in the front yard... drives Murph crazy
I agree with Gamma, we're gonna roast this summer.
On the plus side, gonna spend some serious time with the ponies this weekend
Sorry about the snow, Rick.. hope it melts soon.

Very warm here today. Almost 80. I have been sweating while working in jeans and a t-shirt. The worst part is, if you are near the end of the day, the misquitoes have come out like a dam swarm of bees that are pissed off! I had to go in early last night because of them. That can't be a good sign. I also hope we are not in the 90s too much this year. I don't like the heat much.

Hah, pulled out the bike and rode to Northampton and back today - most on the bike path (thanks, taxpayers)...
It was about 17 miles total and perfect weather. Bright sun and mid-70's....

80 something coming Friday but then it ramps down a little with rain and nights in the low 40's for a while. I ain't putting the Super Cedars away just yet.
We've been running 5-10 degrees below normal for several weeks now. I never have burned 24/7 this late in the season. Looking forward to the end of this stuff and hopefully before all the fruit trees bloom. We have a Santa Rosa plum that is not going to bear fruit this year due to early blooming. And it looks like our apricots will be next.

I guess this attached article in the local paper is pretty appropriate here . . . for some folks who love the warm weather . . . and skiing.

The old record high for Caribou was 46*. It was 75*
Hard to imagine considering it's still winter here. Was -3* this morning.

We're running about 20-30 degrees over normal temps and I don't think I've ever STOPPED burning this early!
You can literally watch the grass grow around here. My yard looks different at 3pm compared to 9am!
I sincerely hope this weather settles down for you folks before too long. It may seem fun now, but not if the trend continues into summer.
