What A Difference From Just 2 Weeks Ago.

Yesterday and today have been beautiful finally. High 60s and sunny. I actually have a couple of windows open. Best of all my furnace is not running.

Two weeks ago it was sub zero and brutal.

It is to go down some but it will still be better than what it was.

Has your weather gotten better? I hope everyone is out of the dangerous deep freeze that has been winter 2026 in the northeast.

Yes, much better. Saw my first robin yesterday and more today. Not gonna last, though. I think I saw the "S" word in the forecast next week.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 It's still winter in the northeast. By Friday it will "remind" us he ain't gone nowhere.

Yes, southern WV has been warmer for the last week. It has been nice to turn the thermostat down and open windows for several hours each day. Our March blizzards hit on the 13th and 18th, so I'm enjoying the warm days, but still aware winter is not yet over.

Yes 74 degress right now! No jacket and no boots because most of the snow is gone. Back into the 30s Thursday though and snow on Friday that hopefully doesn't amount to anything.

It was actually 72 degrees here in Southeastern Wisconsin yesterday, today though is low 40's and going down, next Monday its supposed to be mid 20's again.

We usually don't see Spring until April -usually mid to late April at that......

Its still better than blizzard and sub zero temps though!!!

Same thing is going on out West. We've had 90's in Phoenix in February...which is "usually" our coldest month.

We have also had two really nice days. I worked a bit in the back yard but it is so wet that I just stopped...and then tonight heavy rain and storms. This weekend is back down in the 30's...but I have to remember it's only March.

It hit 80 degrees in Westchester County, New York today. Buds are growing on the trees and it is beautiful outside. Beginning on Thursday temps will dip a bit to the 40s, but even that is not so bad after the brutal winter we had - worst in over 20 years.

Yesterday it was in the 70's, right now we're having a violent hail storm and 39 degrees. I've never seen hail like this and I'm not a kid. Tennis ball size and lots of it. I'm 15 miles west of Chicago.

Yes, it is still winter, and spring where I live means nothing, but the sub zero temps are gone. It was nice to open windows even for a couple of days.

When I worked we used to joke that around here spring happened on a Friday in June between 3 and 3:15.

The weather on Long Island in the last 2 days has been surreal to say the least.

We literally had a blizzard with 2 feet of snow two weeks ago and then it was sunny and almost 80 degrees yesterday. That is extremely unusual for March in New York, but it was a welcomed change.

It was definitely a tease and I'm slightly heartbroken that the temps will drop back down with rain, but we definitely got a taste of what is to come in the coming weeks/months and I can't wait!

We're expecting 90+ and in some areas triple digit temps by end of this week, the weather has been like a yo-yo in SoCal, several days of 60-70 degrees then it jumps up to the 90's. Entertainment reporters who will be on the Red Carpet for the Oscars this Sunday say instead of heaters they will be having cooling fans for the celebrities walking through.

Am in western WA state and the winter here has been --------weird! Very mild temps with moderate rain, almost no snow in the mountains--scary. Last week was cold ,day and night--this week is in the 50's but the mountains will be getting slammed with blizzard conditions and feet of snow in the next few days--we need that. Tonight is supposed to be very windy. Power outages and trees down----for some-- but now nearly what the rest of the country is/has been going thru. Heard about something called a super el nino maybe setting up for the fall into 2027--haven't read much about it yet but it doesn't sound good.

@CANDLEQUEEN same here. Never felt the urge to move anywhere far away. So many classmates spend the cold months in FL, but even though I don't like a lot of snow, I really hate heat and humidity.
