But then, it's usually way colder up there than it is here.
BTW ... it's 35 degrees outside my window right now.

I heard a spring bird call yesterday morning, too...

We hit 58 yesterday. It's about 41 out right now, but supposed to head back up to 50 or so tomorrow with rain!

We have golden fry the size of my thumbnail up to six inches (or larger, hard to tell). They love the deicer we're using, for the first time, this winter. Algae has continued to grow in the center of the floating unit. Life is good in their pond.

Today
Sunny. Highs in the upper 40s. Light and variable winds... Becoming northeast around 5 mph this afternoon.

Tonight
Mostly cloudy. A chance of rain or snow after midnight. Cold with lows in the lower 30s. South winds around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation 40 percent.

Wednesday
Rain. Highs in the mid 50s. South winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 90 percent.

Wednesday Night
Mostly cloudy. Rain likely in the evening. Lows around 40. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 60 percent.

I haven't seen any in PA yet. They usually arrive the first week of March. I did hear a bird singing (not just chirping) this morning though!

It's a mild and sunny day here.
