Outside My Window ~ 4.7.2013
Outside my window…is the end of an amazing spring day! Finally! Our high today was a wonderful 72°F with sunshine and blue skies…just fabulous! Currently at 10:00 p.m we are at 63°F with a forecast low of only 56°F. Tomorrow ~ mostly sunny and 80°F. The next five days ~ lower 80’s for our highs and low to mid 60’s for the low. We won’t drop back down into the low 70’s until next Friday and then mid to upper 60’s for several days after that. I was anticipating warmer temperatures but I wasn’t expecting the 80’s to be honest. The warmer temperatures will definitely bring the trees to life….and…

Outside My Window ~ 4.1.2013
Outside my window…is the closing hours of a beautiful day on this the first day of April, 2013. Our high today was 73°F…partly cloudy but I can deal with that when the temperature is so warm. Unfortunately I was inside for a better part of the day at work but I was able to enjoy the nice weather while walking the dog this morning and this evening. This past weekend was half and half….Saturday was beautiful ~ not as warm as today, but very nice still the same….Sunday was cloudy and rainy. This was typical spring weather…not the cold that is coming back Tuesday and Wednesday evening. Daytime temps won’t…

Outside My Window ~ 3.17.2013
Outside my window…is a fairly damp and chilly night. Currently at 8:30 this evening the temperature is hovering at around 40°F, but feels like 34°F. It is damp, wet and still feels very much like winter outside right now. I had taken some of the plants out for what I thought would be for a long while but instead I was dragging them back inside this evening. Just wishful thinking on my part I suppose. These temps are too cold for a few of them. We will have a few more of these chilly evening in the week ahead…. and of course, more rain. Sigh. Did you know…that it will…

Outside My Window ~ 3.3.2013
Outside my window…is a beautiful blue sky, sunshine and a bit windy. It is also 37°F but with the brrrr chilly wind it feels like 29°F at 9:45 this morning. You know what, I don’t care if it is cold because there are blue skies and sunshine….for the first time since Thursday morning. I don’t know if I suffer from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)…I have never been clinically diagnosed as such….but I can say that after day in and day out of nothing but clouds, it does affect my mood and spirit. I want to feel the warmth of the sun on my face, I want to squint in the bright sunlight, I…

Outside My Window ~ 2.24.2013
Outside my window…is yet another cloudy day. It does appear as if that bright object in the sky that some refer to as the “sun” is trying to make an appearance…it looks a bit brighter outside than earlier this morning. When the dog and I went for our walk around 7:15, it was full cloud cover with some dark ones on the horizon…misty rain…and a bit cool. The pavement is still wet but looks as if the mist has stopped for the time being. Yesterday was rain….I know, shocking ~ we had rain! We will get a couple of days off and then more rain is forecast for Tuesday. I seriously…

Outside My Window ~ 2.17.2013
Outside my window…is a mixture of sun and clouds as well as quite cold and windy. Currently we are at 35°F but with the wind blowing at 13mph and gusting up to 23mph, it feels more like 26°F. Our high today is forecast at 36°F which is not much over our low yesterday of 34°F. We did get an inch and a half of snowfall yesterday however not too much of it stuck. There was a dusting on the rooftops, some on the cars and a few patchy areas on the ground…nothing on the streets and sidewalks. The weather folks had said that what snow we did get wouldn’t stick around because it…

Outside My Window ~ 02.03.2013
Outside my window…is the closing hours of another weekend. We have had a chilly weekend…the high yesterday was 40°F, today our high was 44°F. It didn’t much feel like that when I went outside with the dog. There was a decent breeze all day…not enough to ring the wind chimes but enough to put a nice chill in the air. Our forecast low for this evening is 27°F. We will gradually warm up into the mid 50’s by the middle of the week and then hit 60°F this coming Friday along with a chance of rain. I’m not counting winter totally out for the rest of the season, but I…

Outside My Window ~ 1.27.2013
Outside my window…we are currently at 30°F at 10:00 this evening. The skies were mostly clear when Turbo and I took our walk around 7:30 but there were some light clouds. The forecast calls for temperatures to hover in the low 30’s with increasing clouds. We have been cold since last week and even got roughly 4 inches of snow this past Friday. While most of it has melted, there are still some areas that have quite a bit of snow on the ground….and there is some icy patches here and there. I expect it will all be gone tomorrow if we reach the forecast high of 49°F and the 30%…

Outside My Window ~ 1.20.2013
Outside my window…is the closing hour of another weekend. Currently at 11:00 in the evening it is 46°F with clear skies. We have had relatively clear skies since the Thursday evening snowfall…which was after 7 days of fog and rain. To say the ground is still completely saturated is an understatement…..walking on the grass is like walking on a thoroughly soaked sponge, including the squish, squish, squish. We have had relatively mild temperatures since then however there is still plenty of snow on many of the roofs around the neighborhood however I think all the snow on the ground melted today. Our snowfall wasn’t all that much….it was maybe a couple…

Outside My Window ~ 1.13.2013
Outside my window…is the closing hours of what was a rather foggy weekend. The sun did manage to break through late this afternoon…it was nice to see it after a few days. In addition to the fog, it was unseasonably warm as well. Today we had a high temperature of 66°F . Currently at 9:30 this evening it is 62° and there is another dense fog warning for the evening. Tomorrow’s forecast calls for an 80% chance of rain and a high of 64°; we will drop down to the mid forties with rain on Tuesday and Wednesday. The ground is so saturated now…after three days of rain, it will be weeks before I can finish the…
