I gave in...

The clouds parted and blue skies reigned here this afternoon. I took advantage of the gorgeous weather and went outside to pick up limbs. After all the rain and thunderstorms there are limbs everywhere. I am just glad we did not loose any big tree limbs or have another tree come down with the wind advisory of up to 80 mph last week. So as the title states, I gave in. I went outside in jeans and a short sleeve shirt. I was sweating in 30 minutes so went back inside and trades the jeans and shirt for shorts and a tank top. Yes, that is how we roll in the South! It's in the mid 70's and the high humidity is hanging around so it was nice to be comfortable and outdoors. What did you do today? Did you get to enjoy pretty weather too? Photo: Pixabay, public domain

We've been having some pretty humid mornings, but it usually levels out by lunchtime. It's been on the warm side here in Florida, but when the humidity disappears it actually feels good. Glad you were able to get out in your shorts and tank top.

Was very glad to see the clouds burning off here today. We are supposed to have more rain on the way, but scattered thunderstorms so hope we may get lucky and miss them!

@moffittjc It's good that you are having such great weather that you can get outside and be lazy, go camping, etc.!

@kareng I got woken up super early this morning in my hammock to the sound of rain hitting my rain tarp above me. Initially, it woke me up, but ended up being a soothing sound that allowed me to drift back to sleep.

That's great you were able to get outside and even shed jeans for shorts. The weather was nice yesterday. Today is another story. We're headed into the deep freeze. At least it's only one day.

I hope that freeze isn't too bad. We are back in the 30's next week. Come on, Spring!!

@kareng One day. I woke up this morning to four below with a negative twelve wind chill. However, it's going up today and will snow later. We're getting upward of six inches before six tomorrow night. I'm quite sure this time the numbers are right if we don't get more than that. The whole state will get snow.

@wolfgirl569 Yep, today wasn't so nice. Cloudy, and misty all day--and a bit cooler. Boo!

Wow, the 80's would be glorious! I think 78 has been our highest. Fingers crossed that winter is on its way out the door!

I was busy cleaning my apartment right after I woke up this morning. Humidity in my area at the moment is 66% and partly cloudy. I hope for it to cool down a bit sooner.

You had a lot of energy right after waking up. It takes a few cups of coffee for me to wake up!

Glad you have some sun. That makes it a bit warmer and also makes you feel better! (or it does me!)

You were lucky to have this kind of weather. Here, it is very, very gloomy and not warm.

We are getting another round of cold next week too. Where is Spring? When is it arriving? I fear Mother Nature didn't get my request..haha. That's a good idea to make a habitat for them.

that is how we roll, I almost boxed up all the short sleeves and shorts. Temporary insanity I think because I knew better.

Just last week I said someone was a dummy wearing shorts. However, it was in the low 40's with a sharp wind.

We would have enjoyed being out on such a day. I'm glad we don't have high humidity here.

You get used to it being here all the time, summer and winter when you live in the South.
