Today was a day that didn't get out of the low to mid 40s. It still felt warm to me. I didn't wear my winter jacket, although I did take it with me and I wore a wool blazer in its place for the day. When I got back to work this afternoon, though, I heard someone remark that they expected that it was nice out and it was still cold. It must be in the perspective. Cold to me is below freezing (32°F/0°C) and it's not because I have an extra layer of body insulation (fat), either.
Are we starting to get jaded by this warming trend? Are we beginning to expect these really nice temps will continue right through until Spring? I sincerely hope not. While it might happen, we've also had teens and single digits in March and even early April and it hasn't always been after a brutal February, either.
This past week and for what looks like the rest of this month in my area, we're going to have some very un-February temperatures – 40s, 50s, and 60s with one day maybe even hitting 70°F. Once again, I won't get into the global warming versus normal variant debate. I also won't get into the downside of having such nice weather showing up this early, either, at least not yet.
All I'm going to say is don't get used to it.
Only 27 more days until Spring.
