Given where you are, I suspect that's pretty extreme for mid-Feb., 'cause that's our average low for this week in SW Ohio. That same temp is what we're looking at for Thurs/Fri overnight. We're in, of course, a generally much colder part of the country during this week of the winter.

While 28 is also our normal average low for this week of the year, the predicted lows for the week are all over the map, ranging from 54 Wed/Thurs night to 22 Fri/Sat night.

Having aged-out of Northern New England and its colder, snowier, and, especially, longer winters, we're finding the current variability of winter lows and highs to be a distinct plus for us. I'll qualify this by noting that we're now in a condo and no longer have outdoor plants to sustain through all conditions nor pets that must have access to the outdoors.

In Western Mass, that must constitute some sort of record. Seriously, it must.

Sunny and near 60F today. Little bit of wind, but not too bad. Nice long bike ride in store for this afternoon.

Around 50F, 11C and supposed to raise a couple more degrees in the afternoon.

The wind is quite strong here today too... 40 kph sustained and 60 kph gusts but feels stronger.

It's 71° now with a strong, steady wind and some stronger gusts.

The power can go out when winds are like today's; hopefully, we won't have that happen this time.

Isn't Chicago the windy city?

We aren't supposed to see snow up here for another week at least. Just rainy and miserable.

Had a bit of light rain overnight and it's started again, about 10C now, glad all the house gutters were replaced including on the orangery.

After a week of above freezing and rain we are back to normal.

No rough commute for me as I never work on Fridays

Not looking good but at least it's not freezing. I will play it by ear to see if we're going to close early.

Pretty much sums up this morning....

90% of the roads were heavily salted but the car took a good 5 minutes to scrape. The frameless windows made things more fun.
