Yep, from here in Santa Barbara it's about the same. Maybe a tad cooler.

It got up to +38F here today and the snow is melting YAY! Another few days like this and we might find all the dog's toys that were under 12 inches of snow in the backyard.

Now the potholes are appearing.

Same here in South Florida. Prior to the last front that came in I think we almost hit 87.

I miss the snow. Really.

Just got out of the car, and the thermometer read a whole 3 degrees . . . plus it's snowing. However, this is the first 'real' winter we've had here for quite some time. Kinda nice (btw: I HATE the heat! :))

It was 8 F this morning when I left for work at 7:30.

Three hours later, when I left the post office to head out on the route it was 16. :evil:

Update:

The prediction was for 0 F tonight, with wind, but currently the wind has gone to about nothing, and the temperature is a cozy +14 F.

The past couple of days have produced a few inches of dry snow, but no big deal.

Edit: A few hours later, the temperature has settled to +10 F, but so far still better than the predicted 0 F. And, no wind!

It's colder than a bucket of penguin poop . . .

It's 15 degrees . . . 5 degrees with the wind chill.

We're supposed to get some sort of snow/ice mix. The schools are all having an early D today, even though the messy weather is supposed to start in the evening. I go in around 2pm today and leave work at 7pm. I'm supposed to be in tomorrow by 5:45am but now I don't know if I can even make it with the weather.

I'm from New Jeresy and moved to New York State. It iced all the time in New Jersey. It wasn't supposed to ice in New York!

Here in sunny Cornwall we've had a fairly remarkable spell for the last four days. No night frosts, wall-to-wall sun, light breezes and daytime maxima of 14°+ each day, that is, around 58°F. The last time we had a February spell like this was exactly ten years ago to the day, when the temperature reached 65°, which was a February record for Bude. The odd thing is that, on that day in 1998, I was in Bath, being shown around the University of Bath with my 18-year-old son. Subsequently he chose Bath as his university, he got a Masters degree in chemical engineering there in 2003 and he now works for a big pharmaceutical company. Today, by sheer coincidence, and on the warmest day of the year so far, we were in Bath again (we haven't been there since his graduation in 2003). It wasn't until I looked at my 1998 diary that I realised that I'd been there exactly ten years ago to the day, and that the two days shared remarkable temperatures. Uncanny!

Summer in Australia so it's nice and warm. The days are 25-28 degrees Celcius (not sure what that is in "F"). We've had a bit more rain than usual which is really good because we've been in a 6-7 year drought!

As our friends in the north start to heat up for their summer we start to cool down and head to winter, although our winters are pretty mild.
I find that I need rebooting every now and then!

77-82 F. (my cell phone has a conversion function!)

Today, in central/Chesapeake Bay Maryland--
They're saying it'll be 49 F (9.4 C), but it's a cold rain, and is freezing on the sidewalks at the moment.

The weekend windstorm took out our power, cable, and telephone.
Telephone's still not back yet.

About 298-301 Kelvin. I say we all switch over to a system with no negative temperatures and you don't need the little "º" symbol. 265 K today in our neck of the woods. WooHoo!

I wish I could get that degree sign without having to dig out character map every time.

Hold down your Alt key and enter the numeric string, "0176".

Just a suggestion: make a list of the Alt codes for the special characters you know that you use often and stick it on the side of your monitor.
