Ditto. There is a line in Westen Minn of sun and clouds, it is just not moving.
We had the Winter Open at the golf course today. Six holes, tennis balls, 6 foot circles as holes.
Other years there has been snow on the ground and fairways were wide with "rails" This year, WET! Open grass, a few ponds, very little snow and 40 degrees. Cloudy.
The tennis balls collected water and squished when you hit them. Collected a lot of water when they rolled.
We had 50-75 people and expected more this afternoon.

Supposedly it's going to get up to around 60 in KC next week. I may break out the shorts if that happens, lol.
Yeah, we even had some of that out here in the desert.
You joke about the shorts and shit. After the snow we had like 10 days or something where it didn't get above like 4 and there was consistent wind. It was FUCKING COLD.
Anyway, I went to an equipment auction that had some stuff I wanted to bid on. Anyway, it was like a high of 35 with not much wind, everything covered in snow. I brought all my shit. Boots, coveralls, Heavy parka, facemask, double gloves all of it. Barely above freezing with snow on the ground? That's cold, man. Nah, hoodie and a beanie was enough. I left the rest of the shit in my pickup. I was shocked. [Reply]

Dunno.
I heard the spit jet stream will join together later this month. So that would bring more cold south. Hey, for me the second week of Feb is usually the coldest week of the year.
Just hoping we still go shy on the snow. I can handle the cold. People are even bigger idiots in the snow. [Reply]

I'll take the snow. Just MOTHERFUCK the 70 MPH wind that came with the last one. [Reply]
It's still 60 degrees here at almost 10:00 p.m. Weird. I actually had to open the windows today and they're still open. Supposed to get up around 70 tomorrow, February 27.
Of course, the low tomorrow night is supposed to be 27.
Swatted 4 mosquitos this evening while out disc golfing. In February, in shorts and tshirt. Currently fighting a bunch of oak mite bites on my head and neck from being outside most of last weekend. It hasn't been cold enough over the last 4-5 years or so to kill them off over the winter. Same with ticks.
This isn't your grandparents' kind of February... [Reply]
