Ottakee Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Today felt like a heat wave here. It was 45 and SUNNY. This is 50 degrees warmer than 3 days ago. It was breezy but even with the breeze I was comfortable with my sweatshirt and jeans (and boots for the mud). I rode my horse for a few minutes today as well. This really makes me wish for SPRING. Then again...............this is Michigan and we can have snow on the ground in April yet so this is just likely wishful thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 It was 60 here today and not a cloud in the sky. Gorgeous. But I am afraid it will be short-lived. Have I mentioned how much I truly hate winter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanestMomInMidwest Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 56 and sunny here in NW Indiana, but the wind was blowing a gale. Ds9 and I did go for a long walk down the road, though, and sent stickboats down the rushing rivers in the ditches created from the rapid snow melt. DD said, "Is this the first day of spring?" I hated to break her heart and tell her that spring is still a loooonnnnggg way off. Makes me want to move to Arizona, where I see it was 80 degrees the other day.

sheryl Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 That's funny. I talked to my sister today who lives near Detriot and she said the same thing...funny that spring is around the corner at 45! It's a balmy 65 or so here in beautiful Charlotte!! :lol: Sheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyWImom Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Yes-it was 45 & sunny here also! And poor dd wasn't feeling good. I still let her go out for a while-I hate to be a pessimist, but we're just being teased I fear.:sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Yup! (I'm waving at you from across the state!) It was 48 here today and positively BALMY!!!! We spent a lot of the day outside. The kids got soaking wet playing in the melting snow. We still have about 12 inches, but hopefully it will melt VERY soon and we can see the grass - and maybe some crocuses??

Snickerdoodle Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 It was in the 40's here today too! It was soooo nice and pleasant. We opened all the windows and went barefoot and short sleeves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 According to Puxatawny Phil, we have more weeks of winter. I think spring is teasing us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacqui in mo Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 It was actually 68 here today. We even opened the windows because it was warmer outside than in the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbie Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Nope, our rain started Thurs and no sign of stopping. Praying for no floods or roof leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 According to Puxatawny Phil, we have more weeks of winter. I think spring is teasing us! I have trouble getting behind the predictions of a large rodent who, it appears, is kidnapped, stuffed into a stump-like box, then dragged back out to gigantic crowds by men in top hats. I'd be hauling tail back into the box, too, quite possibly biting and clawing said top hat wearing men on the way, just for egregious rudeness. It was 40-something here today. The kids went out and wallowed in the mud for a few hours. It's supposed to be in the 50s tomorrow. I'm sure it will cool off again, but spring, at least here, is only about a month away.
