That's biting cold, but you're right, it won't last.

Burrr...It was 30 here this morning. I had to wear 2 pair of gloves and one pair of mittens over them but it was good! I don't look forward to 80 degree mornings with 90% humidity. :-(

Did you guys get hit by the snow, too? I'm with IJR. Too cold is better than too hot :)

flat - always depressing when it starts to heat up

IJR - I agree, you can always bundle up when it's cold, but when it's hot, it's just hot.

Tracy - no snow for us...as I understand it, you have to have precipitation for snow, and we rarely have any precipitation here.
