Winter 2015 - boom or snow job?

Re: Winter 2015 - boom or snow job?
Some of these days, I'm thinking I need to carry a second jacket with me when I travel back and forth to/from work.
On Monday, when I left the house, it was in low 30s and a brisk wind was blowing, you could see your breath quite easily. But in the afternoon it was in the 50s and the jacket I wore in the morning was way too warm.
Today, when I left the house, it was in the 50s, and my jacket was too warm, but I knew the weather was supposed to change. By the time I was walking from the train station to work, the temperature was in the low 40s and a brisk wind was blowing and I was glad to have the warmer one with me. It's supposed to get even colder as the day wears on.

It was 8 above down here when I woke up this morning. While that's not cold in the traditional sense, it's colder than much of February was this year.

When we lived in the mountains of Wyoming, the joke was, "we have four seasons here, just like anyplace else does. We merely have different names for them here.
-- almost winter
-- winter
-- still winter
-- the 4[SUP]th[/SUP] of July."
Being at the western edge of the time zone, summers were amazing, it would stay light until 9:30, and rarely got very hot, nor very humid. Of course, in winter you wouldn't see sunrise until after 8 AM...
Spring was actually worse for traveling than winter, when the snow melted, all the dirt roads turned to mud, and there were more dirt roads than paved roads where we lived. The county would wait until the thaw was done and then send out road graders to try to flatten the ruts. If you did not have enough clearance, you'd have to straddle the rut or else get stuck, because the ruts were made by 4-wheel drive with high clearance.

Prediction is it may hit 80 here today.
We had snow on the ground last week.
Al Gore broke the weather.

We're getting 65 and sunny tomorrow. It's not a record, those are in the 70s for this time of year, but I still had to take the day off work so I could enjoy it. It's good to have 28 days/year to burn.

My son can see the grass in Bemidji (though right now he's in Bowling Green, OH).

In addition to my Huskies, I'm rooting for the Brrrmidjis in the first round. Unfortunately, looking like a very warm weekend for the snow schools.

berries or buds? You would have to have flowers already to have berries.
