As you know, California's seasons are a bit weird. Our grass is greenest in January and February, and our blossoms start to come out in February. I see fields of grass today at the foot of Mt. Diablo, and soon we will have wildflowers, like poppies, Indian paintbrush, and Indian warrior.
I don't know what the temperature is here, but it feels like it's about 70 F.
I gather it is a tad chilly in some parts of the Country, so I'll say no more.
How is your Super Bowl Sunday shaping up?

Its been like 75 plus since last rain storm. I think since fall we have had around 15 cold days for California standards. The rest has been all mid 70's to low 80's. I dread what summer looks like if its this warm already.

@TheHorse The cold doesn’t bother me but I stayed in because it’s too windy.

It has been so warm this winter that I still have green on some of my plants and bushes. It has really been weird here.
I am not watching the game myself. I made some spaghetti and shared it with my sons, which meant I delivered it to them. Other than that I have just been busy doing odds and ends of things.

It is 70F here today but I didn't go outside. Even with all the windows and doors closed, my allergies are acting up. I think that's from your tree pollen. Please keep that there. 
It is supposed to drop to 39F during the night, though.

And the world keeps on turning, doesn't it? It will be lovely to see the flowers appearing.

It was 5 below zero yesterday morning. It's going to be 43 tomorrow. It hasn't been that warm in weeks. I spent most of yesterday in my recliner with my blanket on. I managed to fall asleep three times.
