Is everyone finally warming up?

Here in SW florida it got to 64 degrees today which is well below normal but is going to a seasonal 78 tomorrow. YEAH. I see on the national new that most of the country is going to moderate tomorrow as well. Thank Goodness.

We have one more -18 or colder night and then up to almost 30 and snowy by Friday evening. We did peek above zero today for awhile. It was nice.

Yes, it finally warmed up nicely here today. It was cold this morning though. The temp in the truck this morning read 23 degrees.

It's 14. I just got in from shoveling and walking the dog.

It has finally stopped snowing...I am running out of places to put it!

Negative numbers will be gone after tomorrow. It wouldn't hurt my feelings if they didn't return this season.

It's up to 67 here in SE Florida but the heat is still on. It takes awhile for the house to warm up. I'm wearing socks and a long-sleeved T-shirt. Tomorrow it should be the usual warm, sunny Florida weather again. Today, we had rain most of the day. I love the cold weather and especially love rainy days.

Still -27 below here, and my dishwasher is frozen up. We leave a stream of water dripping in the sink as the town requires it, but apparently there was water in the dishwasher lines. Got a full load in there. Oh, well...I guess a little elbow grease is in order. Too bad it doesn't burn many calories!

When we lived in pa we had our kitchen remodeled and I wanted the sink to be under the window. My DH was concerned about it being cold there for the pipes to come up along that outside wall so the contractor brought the pipes inside the wall(since you can't see them under the sink anyway) and he put sheets of Styrofoam against the wall to additionally insulate under the sink and behind the dishwasher.No problem.

Great idea! Thanks for the tip. I'm going to have to look into some additional insulation under the sink. Right now, I opened the cabinet doors and put a heater up to it. Got to watch the cats though...they are curious, and I have a lot of cleaning products under there.

Woke up to no heat this morning, they are here now repairing it. If you live in NE, you can relate. It is suppose to hit the 40's this weekend. A heat wave.

Southern WV saw 30 degree temperatures by the end of the day yesterday. I met a friend for lunch, and it was good to get out of the house. It is already 33 degrees this morning, and very bright and sunny. Highs are to be 60 on Saturday, with rain, and then cooling back into low 50's, then 40's again. I can handle anything except arctic temperatures from a polar vortex.

No sun - 40% chance of rain.

We are supposed to be in the upper 20's today although it was only 5 when I came to work this morning. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 40 and over the weekend close to 50. But they said our warm-up will be short lived and it's supposed to get cold again next week.

I am excited that I can walk my dogs again this evening. They are bouncing off the walls!

While we are not as cold as the Midwest, it has been exceptionally cold here. Yesterday the pilot light of our (new) furnace went out. The installer came with 3 hours but could not keep it lit. It needed a new part. Eventually it was fixed but in the 8 hours without heat, the cold water in the kitchen froze. (and it is still frozen) Thank goodness for electric space heaters.

Tomorrow promises to go above freezing and Saturday will be 50+.

It was 17 when I left my house this moring, up from single digit temps. But the good thing is the howling wind is gone. They predict late 20's by this afternoon and a slow warming until we reach 50 on the weekend. That I am ready for! Most years, we do get a January thaw, a few days of very pleasant weather in mid January. This year it's a bit early and I hope we get a long one. We deserve it.
