Yesterday it was 75 degrees. I came very close to turning the A/C on. Today, the doors and windows are open, the birds are singing, it sounds like spring.
The entire season so far has been mostly warm and wet. I've worn a rain coat more than a winter coat. I'd really like to see some cold weather. You know, sit by the fire and read a book weather. Even a little snow would be OK. If you could send some this way, that would be nice.
Thanks.

I would be more than happy to send you ours. It got cold too early and pretty much stayed that way.
It's been creeping up to 65 overnight that last couple days. With more rain, because we need more rain. At this rate, I'll need a solid year long drought before I can do anything in my yard again.
I almost miss the cold.

I’m totally with you.
I am standing in the middle of a 12 acre construction site wearing a tee shirt. Had the AC on yesterday.
If I tried to build a snowman, it would be completely out of mud.
Yeah...actually had to turn on the AC on Jan 1. Nearly 80 degrees and raining - the humidity was just too much. I've got flowers sprouting, the frogs and crickets are back out... it's weird. Low this morning was 63*F.
My back yard is turning into a wetlands from the rain. In several areas the grass has drowned and the only thing left is a mud flat.

We had the big snow in November but since then it has thawed and it’s been a Virginia Beach winter, 30-40 and rain. I’ll take it.

Turned on the AC a bit yesterday. Another gray, wet and warm day here. Supposed to drop down into the 50's soon, so there is that.
I was sectioning up logs in a t-shirt and jeans yesterday.
It was fantastic. It's been a real weird winter here in eastern PA so far.
I'm in SE MI and looking for our winter. It's been coldish but no real snow to speak of. Most was a couple of inches and it didn't last long.
Be careful what you wish for.
Its 33 in San Diego this morning. You can take the cold from us we don't want it.
It was 24 in OKC this morning on the way in. Last few days haven't broken the 32 barrier.
I'm not a fan.
We are also under a winter weather watch, but it looks like all the snow is going to be even farther south than we are.
Here in Glasgow, Kentucky we're getting days where I scrape ice off the windows in the morning at 28 degrees and drive home with the top down at 60 degrees. But we get a few of those every year it seems so it didn't seem that weird to me.
Been cold but dry mostly here in SE Michigan. Not complianing. Got a fair amount of rain over the weekend oddly, but don't have to shovel rain so bring it on.

38 here in Philly, although we have yet to have any appreciable snow. Not that I'm complaining, although I'm sure the local ski areas are. I could do with a bit less rain as all of the area biking trails are a muddy mess.
Monday was the first day of significant cold here, but its up into minus single digit celsius again now. Hardly any snow on the ground, either.
If its gonna be winter, it might as well be proper winter.
In reply to Ian F :
All of our bike trails are closed. Several of them are under water. There is a 24 hour shutdown after any rain and it's been raining every day. The bike crowd is not happy. The closest trail that is open is 2 hours away.

We already had winter here. It lasted a week. I actually wore a sweatshirt. Still wont wear pants voluntarily.
It's been nothing but rain here in Atlanta, I think 2018 set an all time record. It was in the 60s, near 70, the past few days. I moved here to get away from winter, so I'll happily take it. In fact, once the kids are out of the house, I'm hoping to convince the wife we should move further south...as in Florida.

We're in the same boat although all the trails are local. It's making it tough to stay on top of my resolution. Riding a trainer sucks, and I'm not night-riding on the road.
All of our snow is gone, supposed to get more tonite.
I can drive a few miles north if I want winter.
Just don’t bring it down here - I went through a lot of trouble and $$$ to get away from that crap. I was quite happy to be wearing shorts yesterday for the first time in a couple months!
