That's funny. I always laugh when it gets about 50 degrees around here. You see all the middle eastern folk bust out their winter coats, hats and gloves. Me... I'm still wearing shorts half the time.

Nice one!
Thanks aviationwiz.

We hit 49 degrees Fahrenheit here yesterday.
After two weeks of never getting above freezing, it felt nice :)
Right now it is 25; not too bad I suppose.

It is supposed to be 35 tomorrow, then in the lower 40s on Friday and 40 on Saturday, before the bottom drops out on Sunday. which starts off in the upper teens, only for it to fall off even more, as the day goes on.
