I looked at the outside thermometer this morning when I walked into our kitchen and it read 65 degrees here in South Central IL. The barometer is way down so I guess we're in for some storms. I'm not complaining though. This is just one day closer to spring with out snow or freezing temps.

A little cooler here in northern NY state with temp at 49 degrees. Daughter and her hubby live in south eastern Ill and seem to have a mild climate there. I have visited there a few times and liked the country. My farm is not far from the mighty St. Lawrence river and it does get cold here with temps sometimes going well below zero. Like you stated, looking forward to the end of cold weather but still have a lot to do and always seem to find a way to enjoy the weather challanges. LOL
Like 2 badlybent, I am in northern NY on the St Lawrence. About 50 here right now and breezy. Last night was gorgeous with a near full moon and high wispy clouds. I could take nights like that all winter- 45F!!! Last Monday we were soaked to the skin in a 38F gale, which is worse than snow by far. I imagine more of the same is around the corner. I'm really starting to hate winter, even these easy winters we have up here in the valley, they
re nothing like we got down in the mountains with -50F and weeks with the temp never above 0F, much less freezing. I think I'm getting old!
2 badly, where are you? You may have told me, but I forget. I'm north of Gouverneur 10 miles or so.

I'm in NNY as well, I'll take all of this weather I can get. It's helping to shorten up the winter. I'm over in Brier Hill. Where are you located?

Yup, 52F here just south of the Mohawk, central NY. Great day yesterday, 59F. Corn is done up at the farm, and started plowing yesterday.
Haven't burned a stick of wood for two days and hopefully, can go a couple more days, with out a fire in the boiler. I have a 200gal. insulated buffer tank in the system, that has dropped down to ambient system temp. 70ish. and it will take a half a day to get the system back up to max temp.
Bret, I put the last door onto the woodshed yesterday. Wifey wanted nothing to do with silver canvas; HeHe, so I built a light weight steel swing-up door. Also cut a hole in the side of the garage, and installed a 3'0 man door so I can acess the woodshed without opening up the overhead door.
Rain is suppose to set in this afternoon. I hope to get the trim on the new man door this morning, and perhaps do a little more "pondering" this afternoon. Wink.

First thing I do in the morning is to make sure my name isn"t listed in the obituaries. If it is, I sure ain"t wasting the day going into work.
I'm in NNY as well(Whippleville,Malone is a suburb).I'm 72 yrs. old and traveled a good part of the world while in the USAF.Born and raised up here in the North country.I'm strictly a 4 season person. The only type of weather I dislike is what I consider to be the really hot days of summer.

I baled two and a half bales of hay yesterday here in the North West corner of Ohio.
I rotary mowed my hay patch a coupla weeks ago. Along the ditch it was quite tall for about fifty feet back. No plans to bale it a the time. I was moving equipment for the winter and when I hooked onto the rake I decided to go down by the ditch and see how it looked. Because of our cold weather it still had a green cast to it. I raked it into two windrows. The sun came out for a bit and when I went to move the baler I went down and baled it. I took it up to the barn and run straw into the baler to get the hay out. It was a little damp but put one bale in each lot with two horses. Not much left this morning. The 16th of November, who would have thunk. 62° here this morning and damp and a little slippery where the horses stand at the gate waiting for me to feed.

Twenty five years ago I mowed some second cutting orchard grass hay at Thanksgiving and it layed untill the first week in Jan. It made some nice pretty and green hay, you would never guess it layed so long or was made so late.My boss made fun of me for making hay in Jan and I told him that I was not sure if I was behind with my work or if I was just getting a head start on next years work.LOL
