Winter at its finest...I have to say that when you get days like this one Winter is actually very enjoyable!

Tough keeping up with Mother Nature today. Once again Boston saw a high of 60 degrees...set just after 4PM. This makes two days in a row of 60 degree days, the first time this has happened since last October!
We just missed a record today in Boston the high was 59 set one minute before 4PM the record of 61 set back in 1981 still stands. Of course the near record warmth was interesting today but what I found most interesting was the temp drop that occurred between 4PM and 5PM...59 to 42 in one hour!!!

What a day! It certainly felt, sounded and smelled like Spring...those last two aren't that obvious but I noticed a ton of bird chirping and maybe it was just the smell of melting snow but if I closed my eyes I was imagining April...or maybe I'm just weird...probably the later!
Weekend is here and good timing for a little mini-thaw that should soften up the snow enough so that we can rearrange some snowbanks.

I, along with many others (maybe not all of you snow lovers on this blog), have the Winter blues.
