Anybody else in the cold states getting a nice winter break right now? This is nice, it is over 40 degrees out and beautiful. My dog is out running around, the ice is melting, the snow is quickly going down in the yard, I love it. It is warm enough out to wash the vehicles and get the salt off of them.

A little later I am taking the kids and dog to the local dog park and letting him run off some of his built up winter boredom.

I know it isn't going to last long, but this weekend is supposed to be nice, and that is at least long enough to get a taste of spring coming eventually.

For those that are catching this winter break, enjoy :thumbsup: :beers:

I know what you mean, Jeff. We've been having some cold fronts blow through the past 2-3 weeks, only getting up to the low-mid 70's. Yesterday, it cleared up, mild tradewinds, beautiful day. So I took the afternoon off from work, and rode my bike around town for about 3 hours taking care of some small business I've been wanting to do for a while now. Then I came home, washed up the Firebird and the wife's Solstice, and took the 'bird out cruisin' for about 3 hours last night. :thumbsup:

:D

Upper 40's here. Downspout next to the house, goes down under driveway, is overflowing and there's still 6" of snow on the roof. Probably frozen underground. Just pulled the hose out, going try to peel some of the salt and mud off the truck. Just enough so you can tell it's black and not light gray.

It's hard to believe just a few weeks ago, it was 70 deg colder than it is now. :eek: +40 deg feels pretty damn nice this time of year. :thumbsup:

Exactly, What Darren feels in Hawaii is about how it feels here right now. It may be a nice 80 degees there, but here, where it has been 30 below for quite a while, +40 feels about as nice as 80.

Now I have spring fever really bad...........:(

Got up to 40 yesterday, last Sat. it hit 40 along with 55- 60 mph wind gusts. Up here I'd say we're only looking at 2 1/2 more months of winter.:rolleyes:

Jeff ~ I'm right there with you! It's beautiful today! I'm laughing at everyone washing their cars this weekend though, they won't stay clean more than a few minutes with the melting snow and huge puddles.

I have spring fever really bad also, it's been a LONG winter!

The Daytona 500 is next weekend, the preraces this weekend/week, that's a sure sign of spring! :)

If our weather goes east to you, you will warm back up. Forecast fo r us for tomorrow is 45 degrees. It is cooler today, but nothing worse than sweatshirt weather.
