Ladies and Gentlemen I'd like to announce...

[lookingglass]

That after last week's blizzard, we in Ohio are getting a heat wave. It's going to be 40 degrees next week!

That means I get to wear a t-shirt under my winter coat and be comfortable! Perhaps now my wiper fluid will melt and I can use it once again.

Can you tell I'm excited?

 

[gemlady]

I'm excited, too! The evening weather report said we'll be in the 50s by the end of the week! I'll be down to two layers instead of 4 while in the house.

Me three! I'm soooo tired of the cold wind. Earlier today DH was in the other room and I heard 'Hoooneyy.....what does mild frostbite look like?' (DH works outside now basically.

When I heard this on the radio my first thought was. "Yahoo?"
I'm waiting for the 20-30 degree weather.

But hey... 0 is better than -20

I'm excited it will be warm enough to walk the dogs without any bare skin getting frostbitten!!!

 

[tavia'smom]

I haven't heard about the heatwave yet just the snow that we are still getting. Maybe I will get snowed in and won't be able to return to work for another week. I have to go back to work on Monday. but maybe it will snow another 5 feet.

I heard the same news! Break out the deck furniture!!

 

[gailc]

We are supposed to get in the lower 30's!!! Good thing as we are running out of firewood in the basement (we went through a full cord of firewood since Feb 1st) I can finally walk outside without 3 layers of clothes and my glasses frosting up!!

eheh and i think we got another 5 or 6 inchs of snow last night where i am

 

[loreye]

Wow, a heat wave! When I read 40 degrees I thought celcius at first and I was like "wow! That is some transition" but I realize now you mean farenheit.

Temperatures here are a steady sub zero. I wouldn't mind it so much, but all the spring clothes are coming in at work and I can't wait until it's warm enough to wear them!

Just one more month! I chant.

10 more degrees and you will have sunbathing weather.

 

[gemlady]

IT'S MELTING!!! IT'S MELTING!!!

The van is almost completely clear. Now for the sidewalk.

10 more degrees and I'm going to the beach!

It snowed again last night, another 3-4 inches on top of the high mounds we already have.

We went over to my FIL today and realized he doesn't have a snow blower. He has had two heart attacks, so we are going to buy him a snow blower for his birthday for next winter.

I heard that lower Michigan will be in the 50s by the end of the week too!

Woohoo!

You should buy it at end of this season when the stores clearance them out!!

I can't wait for the warmup. I got stuck in my driveway yesterday and today. Even two of the college guys from two doors over couldn't get me out today

Only about 15 minutes of rocking the car back and forth worked. I'm parking in the street for now.

I think I'll have a lot more shoveling to do once it gets warmer.
