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!

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!
