They say the temps may hit the upper 60's in Maine today.

At the moment we have 27* at the Mid Coast and the SF 250 is at 400* :funny:

Freddy, what do you have this AM?

Just 22 here this morning. Probably not much dif at Freddy's. You can still see snow in the woods and shaded areas however.

Downtown Vermont this morning is a balmy 32F, high expected somewhere in the 60F degree range as well. I think I'm starting to feel a little sick, like a half day sickness. :D

It's 43 in Bath at 8:40 AM.

I suppose this weekend I'm going to tackle the backyard.

The stove's been off for a few weeks.

We had 23 this morning, but the sun is shining and it's aimed to shoot 60 degrees out of the thermometer today. Yippee! If it gets to 60 it will be the first time we've seen 60 in over 4 months. I may take the electric motorcycle out for a spin!

Looks like we hit a high of 70F. I still worked up a sweat as I painted barn, and removed the firewood supply from front porch. It felt good to get outside, I almost came back in to put on shorts! :woot:

Got to 72' here today. Got the shed all cleaned out and my tool box from work locked away and also got the picnic table out. Gonna do my spring cleaning on the grill tomorrow. I use it during the winter so it gets kinda grimy over the winter. Just to cold to clean it in the winter. Supposed to be pretty warm tomorrow also.

Don't know how warm it was today, to busy to look at the thermometer, started building the chimney for the Coal Chubby in the shop. It was nice and warm and sunny up on the roof.
