AAAHHH Mid 60's here with a slight breeze and plenty of sunshine.
It is beautiful here today. Wish I could be home, instead of at work.


Don't need a jacket or anything. Maybe a little sunscreen and a cold drink.

2. Well we need a jacket usually, cause in the winter the vents blow cold air.
And in the summer they blow hot air.

3. These seem to blow cold air 90% of the time.
:scared:

And in the summer, they never seem to stop, so it's fackin freezing then, too.

29. alas I did not think of it myself
Edited on Wed Feb-27-08 07:40 PM by Skittles
I was whining about not being able to find the "real kind" and a coworker said JUST BUY SOME CHEAP ONES AND CUT THE TIPS OFF ALREADY. Yes, it works just fine. :D

Get those small wool ones that look like they are kid sized, but actually expand for an adult hand; they fit snugly enough to give your fingers the dexterity to type.

5. Current temp = 78 degrees
Edited on Wed Feb-27-08 02:52 PM by huskerlaw
and it's not even noon! We've got an expected high in the mid-80s for the second day in a row.

I'm with you though, would definitely be better if I wasn't stuck inside!

Edited to add: Not a cloud in the sky (one of those brilliant blue-sky days) and just the slightest of breezes. Ahhhh. I love "winter" in Southern California!

19. But no sun!!
No hate really, just jealousy and longing. I remember "winter" in Texas when I was a kid, oh how I wish I could take back my kvetching about it! Then, snow/ice was a fantastic novelty to be enjoyed for the 1 day it would be there.

22. Yep, it is nice to have it go away.
But back when I was a kid, you got the day off from school. Now, if it is icy, I still have to go to work. So it is not as fun, I still like to see it snow but it is no fun being at work.

after four years in Missouri, the humidity's really not that bad, and there's other places up and down the East Coast where it feels much worse.

It was in the 20s this morning. But now it has warmed up to the high 40s and it is sunny with clear blue skies. This is just the way I like it.

We had frost on our car windows. I always laughed at them when they talked about the severe thunderstorms they had. Few rumbles of thunder and pea size hail.
