Being Lulled Into A False Sense of Spring

United States
February 24, 2017 7:48am CST
Today is another absolutely beautiful day and it feels like spring. We're expecting 70 degres F or higher today so I had to dig out some short sleeve shirts as my daily sweater attire would be too hot. The sun is shining and I was thinking of sitting outside for much needed Vitamin D and having my coffee. This weather is easy to enjoy but also easy to forget that it's still February. March is right around the corner and it still could bring some miserable cold, snowy and icy weather. How easy it is to get used to seeing the sun and having it nice enough that I can take the dogs out without bundling up in a coat. Today, I'm going to enjoy this beautiful day. How's things in your neck of the woods?

These days I am not easily fooled by a brief sunny period. Experience has shown that the reality of winter is always ready to make a return.

We have an overcast day today but the temps will rise to the high 70s. Quite lovely.

That sounds a lovely temperature for February. We've had gale force winds in England - it blew part of our fence down.

We're getting rain & gusty winds today (Sat) so our taste of spring is gone. Hope your fence is a easy fix. Winds like that are scary

Guess we should enjoy each day no matter what the weather. Is all your snow gone?

We are experiencing very warm weather for this time of year I am hoping we really are having an early Spring. I pray we don't get a Winter event in March (which has happened here in Georgia before).

We've had snow in April here in the Northeast before so anything is possible with March right around the corner. I'm hoping for an early spring

We had a high in the mid-70's today (F) and it was wonderful! I know that we will probably get a blast of snow before all is said and done for the season, but you have to enjoy it while its here!

I'm just trying to enjoy as much of this wonderful weather as I can. March is ahead and we could get bombarded with snow but I'm keeping my fingers crossed we don't

My husband never puts away the snow shovels until April 15th. No matter what the weather is.

70F here is just perfect. Once summer comes and it goes into the 90's or 100F its unbearable

@Marilynda1225 I agree that would be my ideal temperature. 70 is comfortable but 90 is when I start to die!

As usual, it is sunny and glorious outside. I had a nice extra long morning walk in my shorts and tank top. I saw Doodles enjoying the great outdoors in a FaceTime from our son. Enjoy!

I'm sure Doodles is enjoying the nice weather we're having here in the Northeast. Bet he misses you!!

@Marilynda1225 He knows our voices when we FaceTime. I think we miss him more than he misses us. Afterall, he's with his daddy!

It's a lovely day here too but getting on the 'pretty hot' side. It's supposed to get to 35C later which is a bit hot.

I'm not a fan of very hot but I do prefer a mild day to bitter cold

About 20 years ago I remember snow in April, just a dusting but still. Then who could forget the Blizzard in Alabama? 1993 in March. Its warm here and I have no put away any short sleeve shirts this winter cause I am wearing them but I did not unpack the sweaters either.

The weather is crazy and never predictable. I remember having snow in April but the good thing is it doesn't last long when it comes that late
