We've had some really warm weather the past couple days and it was getting too hot today in the house. It was 78 upstairs so I had to turn it on. Even sleeping last night was a bit uncomfortable and today it was a bit hotter. The highest I saw when checking the weather was like 78 degrees.

And this is just north of DC so it's not like I'm in the south or anything.

Are you doing too much coin mining? :p Or is it warm outside too?

My car was covered with slush which had frozen into large sheets.

It's been in the mid 70's here in WV. We smashed our record highs the last 2 days. It looks like we beat our record high today by 7 degrees.

There better be record low temperatures and snow in July and August to make up for this terrible "winter."

if my a/c was ever turned off I'm pretty sure we'd spontaneously combust here in south florida.

one of our units was broken for a week and it was literally equivalent to being in guantanamo bay.

It hit 78 at around 6pm.

It was outright cozy - so strange to see people walking around with only a shirt... in winter. The house was just getting too hot to not to turn on AC.

Just saw on the news we hit 82F today. It's a record and it's only ever hit 80 degrees 2 other times in the month of February ever.

I did too.

It was 76 outside and 83 inside. Had to crank up the chill machine.

This is not good. I'm betting summer will be horrible.

We had to switch ours on just the other day. Damn thing smells for the first few days, due to sharing a condenser with the furnace. Even burning candles hardly smacks that stank, used gym sock smell.

I did that last night, too, for a few hours. Upstairs was just too warm. It felt weird.

It has been hovering around 32 degrees with rain/snow mix for the past two days now in North Texas. I'd go with global slushing as well.

I turned mine on for the first time yesterday too (N GA). I'll take this over the (relative) cold any day though. Supposed to cool off again next week.

Damn. It was -1 yesterday morning. Today's high is 29 and throughout the week it will be in the 30's. I call BS!

I just bought new snowboard bindings and can't even try them out because the slopes nearby have probably all melted. This simply wouldn't have happened had Trump not been elected.

It was 3F when I got up at 6am, then it had dropped to 2F when I had to take my daughter to school at 7:15. WTF.

We just got pounded with more snow here. It's that time of year! Going to have to go dig out the car in a bit so I can get in to work. At least I'm on night shifts, I hate having to scramble in the morning to make it on time when it's stormy like this. With night shifts I have more time since I'm already up.
