Well, I'm happy to report the temperatures rose all day yesterday ~ thank goodness ~ and we were up to -22 (-8F) by the time I went to bed. Which, if you read the last post, is a jump of 15 degrees. Well, Celsius ones, anyway!
This morning at 6:00, I checked the thermo again (after cleaning up Fidget's pukey bed) and we were sitting at a balmy -18 (-1F), even though TheWeatherNetwork says we're a little cooler. I am absolutely LOVIN' the forecast though ~ man, I hope they're right!!!

Here's the Fahrenheit version for those of you to whom Celsius makes no sense:
The long-term looks even better, although I have to be honest here ~ I won't mind if we don't actually go above freezing. A few degrees below is just fine with me. Because if we have a few days of thawing in the middle of winter (that's right, I said MIDDLE. I'm under no illusions that global warming will make our winters shorter either!), all we have is ice problems and that isn't much fun either. I know ~ picky, picky!
But a handful of degrees below freezing is all I ask. Then I can go back to simply feeling that winter is an annoyance rather than experiencing the outright LOATHING that has been going on for the last two weeks.
And again, the conversion for the Celsius-challenged:
I'm just very thankful we're finally warming up and that this trend is supposed to stick around for a while. Of course, they could be wrong. It HAS happened a time or two. But -20 feels downright comfy when you've been hovering around 15 degrees colder for far too long!! And we can go outside just for the fun of it!!!!
Hmmm, maybe I should have complained a little sooner...
Hope y'all have a great weekend!! On the schedule for us is The Bushman's sister coming out for a 3-day visit ~ and hopefully no puking!

It is still -30 here in Wpg this morning. But I'm happy for you. Really I am.
Poor Fidget!! So no school? I am thankful that it IS a little better for you!! I'll send you a little sunshine!!

Love You Girl!!

Right now its 12 degrees farenheit here in Alabamy, but tomorrow it will be 43!! Woo Hoo!!!
BRRR.....we are COLD down here. When I checked the weather this morning it was 8* but felt like -4...and that's with the sun up. I want some snow to make the cold temps worth something.
Girlfriend, you just need to pack your bags and get down here to Georgia for a visit--WHERE IT IS WARM! My doors are open. Just bring your laptop and we can blog and e-mail and skype beside one another!
I was just thinking about how warm -20 felt without wind this morning!
I am looking forward to a nice weekend, but am with you on not wanting a thaw-slush, black ice and potholes are just not much fun.
Seriously, you give me some perspective on what I think is COLD. Now above zero doesn't seem so bad.
Thanks for the conversion for the Celsius-challenged!!! That helps me alot!
I'm glad you are warming up. We may get some snow/ice here in North Carolina this weekend. Our once a year storm!
Sorry to hear about the pukes..never fun.

I agree, I waited at the bus stop with the kids last year in 17 F(-8.3 C)degree temps. The very next day it was 34 F (1.1 C) and it felt really warm. Normally, I think it's cold if it gets below 55 (12.7 C). I've been looking for a beach vacation condo online. That is not helping me deal with the cold. My sis-in-law is coming this weekend, too! Have fun!
Yay for the weather!
Not yay for the puking. Hope that's over soon and no one else gets it!
Oh. My. Gosh..
Are you serious? Once you get that cold, does it really matter? I can't even imagine!!! I'm so, so proud of you for going out for a walk at -44 degrees. NO excuses for you, right?!?! Way to go, girl!
