It's been pretty warm down here, but once it hits about 5pm it gets cold very quickly. I just put on a cardigan, but I've been in a T-shirt all day! I was even lying out in the garden on a blanket earlier this afternoon!

You're lucky!  There was a really cold wind here today.  :-\\\\

It was freezing here yesterday, too. Today looks like it might be a bit warmer. But I've heard it might snow again this weekend?!!  :o

Wow Jewlz!  :( Our weather has been like Chary's.  I put the summer duvets on our beds at the beginning of April.  I hope those cold winds don't blow this way!

It appears to be warming up a bit. So hopefully it will go the other way and be nice and warm this weekend.  :-\\\\

I have a quilt that is lighter that we use once it gets warm.  I only change it once the evening temps get a bit warmers...right now it's still down below 10C, so no change for me.  Hoping in a few weeks it's warmer and I can make the change.

Yeah, changing to the 'summer' duvet was a bit too soon this week, but I was sweating at night under the other one.  :P

We are promised warmer temps for this upcoming weekend - like into the 60s!  Woot!  Granted, that's normal winter temps - considered chilly - in Florida, but the last time it was this warm up here was, what, last September, maybe?  It's been the 7 month winter of my cold discontent, so definitely 60s I'll take you because if not truly warm, at least you're not cold!  Mother Nature is throwing me a bone.  8)

Well I will say that this past weekend & today so far are the first days in like 7 months up here, that I have not felt cold (without a fleece on) either indoors or outdoors - so yay!   :)

A FB friend (who is from Georgia) posted this weekend about how the weather forecasters here are good for a laugh - announcing it'll be a 'balmy 63F' and a '73F heat wave'.   [smiley=laugh3.gif]

But now they are saying the temps are going to cool off again...  [smiley=beadyeyes.gif]

I was able to go to the GP today in jeans and a t shirt and a cardigan. Spring seems to have sprung.

It's that time of year again!!!  To talk about spring.  ;D

I'm anxious.  Who's anxious?

Last year, I tell you what, spring was a very long time coming.  Let's hope it turns up earlier this year.

I shaved the winter fur off my legs this morning - that's a sure sign.  ;)

It was bitterly cold out today - with the wind, but we did see more snow drops on our walk.  :D

I'm loving starting to see snowdrops and daffodils (though the daffs are mostly stalks so far I have seen a few glimpses of yellow).  Been sweating at night with the flannel sheets so probably change to normal ones next time I change the bed.

I'm moving to the UK the first day of spring (well, close enough!)  [smiley=daisy.gif]

I'll have to de-fur before I get there. 

My husband said it was snowing the other night. Does it usually snow into March?
