71?!?!?! I thought it was a heatwave when it got up to a record high 61 degrees yesterday. It was still 55 when the 11:00 news came on last night, but it cooled off today. We had an inch of rain yesterday and between the heat and the rain, the snow went bye-bye. There's not a speck of snow anywhere in my yard or driveway. Nothing on the street or by the curb where the plow piled it up either. I think they plowed my street 2 or 3 times this winter. It's freezing right now, and headed down to 26 tonight. BRR! There's a river flood warning until 1:00 P.M. Friday. Yesterday some other counties were flooded so bad they were closing businesses and schools, and some people's houses looked like they were siting in a pond. One place had so much rainwater and broken ice in a river, it was hitting a new bridge that connects 2 sides of the city. It was still intact but I'm not sure if it still is today.

Note the time!  It was 1638!

I think it was 73 when I left the shop at 1630, about ten minute drive home.

I'm glad we matched 1930's record high of 61° Tuesday, or 60° according to an online source, and not 2015's record low of -25°. I don't remember it ever getting that cold. Today is 38° and sunny, and it's going up tomorrow. It's supposed to get up  to 55° next Tuesday then back down again. Up and down, up and down.

I was tent camping as an Explorer leader with the Explorer troop at Tar Hollow St. Park in Ohio when the overnight low was -21.

I feel for you. That really sucks, and anyone who hasn't tried sleeping in bone-chilling cold can't fully understand the experience. In basic training at Ft. Dix, NJ it was -17 the night we had our bivouac. The guys were all freezing our ***s off in pup tents, while the female soldiers (there were no women in the army  ::)) were all in a GP medium with tent stoves blazing away (at both ends, I think). We didn't have any winter boots or much other winter clothing, and we had plain old non-arctic type sleeping bags. I wore all of my clothes including my boots inside my sleeping bag, and was still freezing. I don't really think I slept that night. Every time I started to nod off I had a fierce full body shiver that shook me wide awake. It wasn't a seizure but as close to one as you'd want to get.

We had another record high today, 59 degrees, beating the 86 year old record of 58 in 1932. It felt a lot better outside with no jacket than with one. The average for the date is 36 and the record low was -14, so 59 is really hot in comparison. Tomorrow is supposed to get up to 55, one degree less than the record, so still no complaints from me. Yet. I'll wear a jacket when I go out around sunset tomorrow. The bad news is March starts out with rain, possibly more than an inch, then maybe an inch of snow at night.
