Looking forward to that. Couple more months to go. It's been fairly warm lately on and off though. It's actually above zero right now. Though it seems the minute it goes above zero it starts to rain. This is not a good sign, have a feeling it's going to be yet another cold rainy summer.

Definitely don't envy the weather you guys go through but it's still some damn beautiful country up there.

Seriously... This was a 'cold' winter and I can count the days I wore jeans /long pants (other than for work) on one hand.
I "toughed it out" all winter with strictly shorts. I did turn the heat on two or maybe three mornings to take the chill off.

The glare off your pasty white legs is apt to blind people. Use your new found power with care.

You live in IL, you should have worn shorts every time it hit 40. And like 2 weeks ago it was above 70.

I wear shorts all winter to work, and I live in New England. On a related note, it hit almost 50 yesterday, so I wore my sandals for the first time this year.

I switched to shorts a few weeks ago. I only transition twice a year. I feel naked when I first switch to shorts and I feel claustrophobic when I switch back to pants.

I only wear long pants to work and when I'm riding my motorcycle. Otherwise, it's all shorts all the time.
