The Mail Carrier came and I checked the thermometer and actually went out and got my mail with just my sweater on - Not sure I would want to hang around out there for a long time dressed that way, but nice not to have to wipe the snow off my shoes or put on a jacket.
I am not quite as warm blooded as some of our young teenagers downtown. Was down at Steeple's yesterday and one young BFA Sports Player came in with just shorts and a BFA Tanktop. He had apparently been in the Gym, he said and came down to get a snack. I was shivering for him.
Was communicating with a friend of mine in Florida and telling him it was spring up here - He emailed me the Florida Version of Spring:

81 DEGREES YESTERDAY & TWO TORNADO WARNINGS THIS MORNING,,,,,,,,,, IT MUST BE SPRING AT LAST!
OOOPPPPSSS A THIRD 'WATCH' IN OUR COUNTY JUST WENT OFF,,,,,,and we don't have a cellar!!!!
Only a Floridian would see humor in a Tornado Warning - I can't imagine us reacting this way up here, especially if I lived on Route 104A where I know of at least 3 Tornados that have occurred.

This morning, about 6:30am, I passed a jogger in shorts headed north on Main Street.
Oddly, I still haven't seen a robin.

I guess the older you get the more clothes you need to put on

Anchorage hit a high of 15F I think. Wind too.
At least it stopped snowing.

Judging from what some teenagers wear, Ed, I'd say you're right! :)
