Just gotta say...

Ok, I am really excited! Usually about now I am wrapped up in thermals, socks, and blankets and still cold. I HATE THE COLD!!!! But I can not believe that it is December 21st at 6:45 PM and it is 68 degrees here!!!! It makes the wait until June just a little easier!

I also hate the cold but luckily it has been unseasonably warm here in Massachusetts this fall.. I love it!

I can't wait for the cold we need ice and snow here so many places hurting because the is no snowmobling and ice fishing

I know that many people in the upper reaches of the country depend on the snow. My friend from up near the Canadian border said that if they don't get snow early it is horrible, because it gets too cold to snow and they rely on it for a layer of ground insulation. Of course it is not that way here. If it gets too cold things go haywire and people die. We have had two cold winters and it has been kinda rough, so I am excited for the warm weather HERE. Hope it becomes more seasonable for you guys up North! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Unseasonably warm in Minneapolis, too. We took the dogs for a walk on Christmas Day today... no snow on the ground and temps in the 40's. Last year we had over 40" of snow by now!
Three weeks until temps in the 80's for 10 days!

I was in short sleeves today and hot. My daughter went to the beach today in West Palm. This is not too crazy for upper Fla., but it is bad for the North! I hope it does not cause too many problems for those who depend on the cold weather!
