My Amazon Alex tells me it will be nearly 60 F. Went outside to bring the trash bin back and was barefoot wearing a t-shirt, and sweatpants, and didn't feel a chill. Even the wind felt comfortable. The rain stopped, and I took the opportunity to take a walk.
If you're one of those people who dislike the cold weather and likes going out for walks, bring an umbrella just in case, but enjoy the weather.
I just did the same thing!! Brought the bins in and was thinking that I gotta get my dogs out here! Nice day for a walk. Might be too windy for the woods but the temp is perfect
We’ve gotta enjoy it today before it’s 17° tomorrow. Brrr!
I was pleasantly surprised.
From inside the house, you hear the wind, and you imagine it would be a cold, northern gust, but it's not that at all. Feels nice out.
You just made me check the date on my calendar twice to confirm it’s not Christmas Eve, so thanks for that!
Howdy neighbor!

OMG! Why do I keep thinking Christmas is Saturday? lol -- You're right, I'm a moron. Today is December 23rd, and you would be the 9th person to correct me.
It's still good weather, today, though, so enjoy it while it last.

I am always pleased to discover people in Western Mass. Sometimes, visiting this sub, you'd think the Boston area was the whole of Massachusetts.

High of 16F and low of 11F. - Every time they update the forecast, tomorrow is expected to be colder and colder. So you're right, enjoy it while it lasts.

Fellow crazy person here. Glad I’m not the only one who collects the trash bins barefoot in the winter time.
> It happens lol. I thought it was 1999 for about four years once.
It's almost 2023, and I sometimes still write (or type) 2020, for some unknown reason, so don't feel bad.

Perhaps it's my laid-back nature or because I usually have warm feet. But for the 30 seconds, it takes to get and retrieve the bin, I don't feel the need to put socks and shoes on. Especially if I know I have nowhere to go today. I work from home and I finished all my shopping, yesterday (even finished wrapping).
So no, you're not the only one. But I do get a good laugh when people notice.
> It was such a fun year. Who could blame you?
Laughs & cries
It was the year we normalized crazy. -- If you check my post history, I work for another social media company. Nearly 3yrs later, and we're still dealing with that level of crazy (not as often, but they're out there).
Not even tomorrow, we're supposed to get a snap freezd after sunset.
The world paused in 2020 so it’s cool
I’ve been unemployed for 3 years. Something happened back there
It’s 55 degrees and the news was watch out for massive temperature fluctuations. And how!
Christmas Eve Eve actually, but I know what you meant!
> Christmas Eve Eve actually, but I know what you meant!
Christmas Eve's Eve. I think I'll borrow that phrase for the day. lol
> Not even tomorrow, we're supposed to get a snap freezd after sunset.
Now I feel sorry for everyone who reads this post later, after they get out of work today.
Yeah, I'm running to the grocery store in a bit and then hunkering down until I have to go to Christmas dinner.
> I’ve been unemployed for 3 years. Something happened back there
I am sorry things have been hard. I hope in time they turn around for you. The job market out there is nuts, and I truly believe a lot of those "help wanted" notices are for show. Add in the fact that many places are not looking to pay worth a damn, and I can completely understand why some people (who are able) stop looking.
I hope things turn around, and I wish you good fortune.
Thank you. No one gives me a back ride
Well, thankfully I got to enjoy the warmth for a bit before coming in to do laundry and realizing my basement flooded. Now I know what I’ll be doing the rest of the day. Yay New England!
Also its gonna be icy , windy and below freezing in a few hours
There's a word for that: coma
Try it now.
There are no whites in my neighborhood and I want to keep it that way

It was fun while it lasted. (11 degrees at the moment)
Just moved back in with dad and it never occurred to me how fuckin drafty his windows are....
Holiday shouldn't be all that bad if I hide inside all day. Sooo... happy chilly holidays to you too, stranger
Happy Holidays to you too.
We received a new roof, earlier this month, before it became bitter cold. I notice it seems oddly a little chiller with the new roof (replaced the shingles). I find that odd that replacing shingles could change things like that, especially since the new ones seem to have had a minor negative effect.
It's funny what little things you notice, eh? -- Again, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
I’ve been stuck in 2019 all along myself… I guess my brain just keeps reverting back to the last time things were relatively normal.
