37 flippin' degrees in St. Paul right now
My brother was wearing a t-shirt last time we went out--he's probably dead in a gutter somewhere by now.

1. Oh, c'mon, Minnesotans should be able to handle 37!
:)

Although, we're not too much better over here in Buffalo: 45. Spring is here! Er...

3. It's MAY!
Now if it was this temperature in February, we'd be busting out the thongs and zinc oxide.

6. Minnesotans can handle 37. It's a heat wave in March.
But this is May! It should be 50, blustery, and rainy, for crying out loud!

7. It's 70 degrees and sunny here in Athens, GA!
:) It is a beautiful spring day!

We did have a spell of "blackberry winter" last week. That's when we have a late cold snap (it was in the mid 30s) when the blackberries and Dogwoods are blooming.

Stay warm. Spring must be on the way soon in your area!

9. I don't know if I'd call it a beautiful spring day...
It's 69 here in Atlanta right now. Greetings from the A-T-L :hi:

My feelings on spring/summer is that once it hits 80 degrees, it has to stay above that until mid-November.

Me no likey the cold :)

13. Hi Ruby!
:hi:

It is a fabulous day here! I had a productive day at work then I spent the evening with my filly, Cotton. She will be 2 years old on Wednesday!

I think I have an allergy for the first time ever. I spent the weekend mowing and weed whacking. I think the dust and pollen got to me.

I love the warm weather too! We'll have to have another NE GA DU meetup soon. Maybe in Athens! :)

19. Hey CottonBear!!
How exciting about your philly's b-day. Will she have cake? I bake my dog a cake for his birthday :blush:

I'm sorry to hear about the allergies. Mercifully, I don't suffer from them, but my poor brother does. I'd shoot myself if I was as miserable as he is during pollen season!

Anytime the NE GA DUer's want to get together - count me in!!!!!
And I vote for Athens too. A field trip will do everyone from Atlanta a world of good :)

23. I'm gonna make her oat and molasses mini muffins.
That's cool that you bake for your doggie! I've had doggie birthday parties too! I may make a pink bow for Cotton to wear around her neck for her birthday picture!

I'll work on an Athens area meetup. There are quite a few of us around here. Mybe sometime in June.

Are you a Gemini? I'm going to Tennessee on June 10-11 but, otherwise, I'll be around.

Happy Birthday in advance! I'll be having the 3rd anniversary of my 39th birthday! :)

8. It snowed in Cleveland today.
Only for a few minutes, and obviously it didn't stick, but fuckdamn.

May is the new March.

15. It snowed while I was mowing the front yard yesterday.
In Fridley, north burb of Minneapolis.

It really needed it, I thought it was a little cold in jeans and a T-shirt, but I figured I'd be warm enough moving around. Got the mower gassed up and running ( 1 pull after sitting all winter, I love that Toro!!) I got about halfway through and started wondering what was falling out of the trees. Turned out to be snow. I finshed the front yard and called it good. Weird spring.

21. Actually, I thought my walk to downtown St. Paul was quite pleasant.
If it is 37 degrees, color me surprised, all I have is a windbreaker.
