It is 48 degress today and

after I stopped for my daily fix of coffee on my way to class I stopped to notice that I couldn't really decide if I was cold or warm. It's an interesting feeling because I was thinking to myself, "how would I describe the temperature right now?" and here I am writing about it. I love days like today because it reminds me a lot of spring. It almost caught me by surprise how much it felt like April but at the same time there was a crisp chill in the air that prevented you from getting to warm. These types of days always put me in a good modd because it's a sign that the long winter is almost over. I find it very interesting because on a day like today, there was snow on the ground yet for the 2nd or 3rd day the temperature is almost 50 degrees, just a little example on how you really never know what the weather will be like because I would have never guessed that it be almost 50 degrees in February after the winter we just had. So its days like today that put me in a good mood for the rest of the weekend.

  1. Gah, today definitely reminded me of spring as well - I'm definitely looking forward to the days where I don't have to shuffle through sludge and cold to get to class. Hope this weather sticks around!

  2. Love the numbers here -- makes me calculate how much the temperature has changed --- the number of days until spring ---

  3. Its kind of interesting how much we value the change in temperature over the actual temperature. If one were to think about it, 48 degrees is NOT spring. more like 60s to 70s is spring(at least where in DC where I'm from sorry), but because we've had such a frigid winter, a little warmth in the air has under spring fever already...and today is raining cold drops of winter.
