I refuse to believe that 50 degrees is "nice outside"

Right? I've been waiting for a god freeze up so I can get a trailer down to my dad's old shed to get a bunch of equipment out of it and at this rate I'm going to have to wait until summer for everything to dry out before I can do it.

Everything is relative. I have my windows open today. I don’t mind the cold anyway, I still consider it nice outside in the 30’s.

I put the snow shovel away. That means we should get 3 feet of snow next week.

You say that, as I get my motorcycle back out from winter storage.

50-70 is nice

This one leaves out “the pollening” 🤧

Well, it's 60. Also it's usually about 15 degrees this time of year.

When you’ve just come out of a polar vortex 50 feels pretty nice. Of course I prefer 65-85, but it is relative my friend.

They are supposedly predicting a stormier pattern next week and more winter like temps.

"Actual Spring" should have the description next to it of "two weeks only"

I’m 40 years old and I’ve never experienced a winter this warm, especially February, this is bizzare

Today it's 65°F where I am. That's really weird for February...

No way! This is the best February ever! Winter is dead 🌞

The daffodil stems in my front yard are beginning to rise from the ground. In February. Have never seen it this early.

We've had one winter, but what about second winter?

There's a big difference between 50 and 70

There was a Reddit thread a little while back about how cold you feel outside is largely a matter of mindset, and there were people that live in Siberian-type climates saying how funny they think it is to come and see people dressing in so many layers when it’s “only” in the single digits, not even in the negatives. And then I read that being outside in the cold briefly without a heavy jacket does not make you sick, unless you are under-dressed for a truly prolonged period of time or wet in the freezing cold. So I decided to toughen up, started taking walks in 30° weather, and now I enjoy it.

I mean no doubt I'm a cry baby about it. I walk my dog ~2 miles every morning barring really bad wind or rain, it's just not my cup of tea. I'll take 90 and humid every day of the week over the frigid days.

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin, waters getting warm so we might as well swim

I remember never having space in my cubby at school because you had to bundle up for the winter in the morning but it was always warm in the afternoon and I never wanted to wear any of it back home. By the end of the week, every sweater and coat I had was at school.

50 is beautiful, and I was a Floridian for years. You gotta shape up

I’m 26 years old and I was expecting this winter to be like the 2007-08 winter. I remember that winter being kind of warm.
Like, we got a big snow storm in December, then a big one in January, then a couple minor storms in February and then absolutely no snow on March and April (and May).
It’s really just been one big storm on like January 3rd, and then nothing of significance since then and a ton of warm and rainy weather. It’s been the easiest winter ever, and I’m not a fan. Sure spring is my favorite season, but it’s my favorite because winter is harsh and long and spring is that nice escape.
