77 degrees. opened the windows and my sinuses went nuts. seriously bad allergy season this year.

major headache. alas yesterday my little grandson celebrated his 5th birthday at Chuck E Cheese.Not that I really want to compare these two headaches but 5 yr old birthday party headache was a lot worse.

Enjoy the weather, if it's good for you and if you're not allergic to anything. Sorry about the complaining. p.s. the deer outside my window are having a great time hopping around.

I wish you'd send some of that our way.

Been raining and chilly for days on end here.

I played golf today and would support legislation mandating that every March should be like this. It feels like May out there, just wonderful to have a winter so mild.

I'm in Illinois, we have had 5 days in a row of 80+ this March.

That has never before occurred in the history of the state.
They are saying that the average temperature thus far for the month is over 7 degrees above average. Essentially, Chicago is getting the kind of weather that usually Virginia gets this March. (and probably most of the winter too since it's been extremely mild.)

Anyhow, it's supposed to rain a bit here this week, usually we see some snow at some point in March, and sometimes in April .... But haven't seen any in a long time....

If the summer would keep up like this would be expecting like 110+ with high humidity. :(

I am enjoying the weather.. thankfully I am not allergic to anything. Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that I do not get the seasonal flu this time.

SoCal around the beach area here. It's been like freezing for the past few days. Freezing rain, hail, and ridiculous wind speed. Feels like winter more than spring or summer.

83F here with high humidity. I'd gladly trade our 105F summers for a month of Washington weather.

70s and an couple 80s in March in Minnesota? yeah, it's been unseasonably warm.

For anyone that has allergy issues (like me) give the Allegra (OTC) stuff a try. I've used Claritin and Zyrtec a try and neither of those work for me (YMMV as always though, just saying what works for me). Assuming you don't already have a script or something.

We beat a record today, it was like +25C (77F). This is insane for this time of year. I actually used the AC in my car today.

The amount of snow melting is just crazy. I can actually see my whole driveway and all street pavement is visible and there's tons of water everywhere, surprisingly no flooding issues. 6f+ of snow melting in a matter of weeks, it's just nuts.

Damn brokers....making it when we all lose. Kidding, ....maybe.

You're in the same, arguably worse, boat than we are. Gonna suck in June......

Oh great, the spiders are already out. I hate spider webs! There was one from ceiling to floor right next to my server rack. It's stupid but I have a huge phobia of spider webs, I nearly missed it when I went to do the backups.

I wouldn't get Allegra, I would get a generic (fexofenadine) at less than half the cost. :p

My daughter asked me over the weekend "Dad, when you going to open our pool?"

I said "You know it's March, right?"

I am loving this weather. I had been counting down the days for bike riding weather and out of no where it was here. :) I'm making a point to take full advantage of the nice weather this year.
