In season 3 of The Wire, Stringer Bell castigates his henchmen by saying they're giving him "too many 40degree days. "50," he says "puts a smile on your face. 60, guys (he uses a different word) are damn near barbecuing. But nobody cares about a 40degree day."
Well, I wouldn't have been surprised to see a BBQ set up on 35th Street today. It was just wonderful, almost warm. No humidity of course, and still dark at 5pm, but we were out in droves.
It was almost like a mini-vacation, and a promise that winter will not last forever.

If winter cold wanes, can global warming be far behind?
It was in the 70's here, with tornado watches.
60? That's, like, dead of winter weather. We're practically dragging out the parkas, if any of us owned such an article of clothing.
Very light snow fell in Seattle, but it got up to the upper 30's so it all melted. That's cold for us and we're all freezing to death. 60 is like summer nights here.
It was the same in Michigan. (I think we sent you our weather one day later.) Everyone was out walking their dogs, or just strolling for no reason, and everyone smiled. It did feel like a vacation from winter, which is back today.
Sorry for sending you the winter back. It's 39 here today so it will be 39 there tomorrow.
You were 60, we were 20, with a low of -2. {SIGH}
(this is just to make you feel even better about your 60)
We got three inches of snow last night. My toes are cold. My nose is running from being out in it. But the sun is now out, and it's warming up. MELT [Insert appropriate swear word in your language here] snow!
Pixies never swear. simply isn't done. ...
