By the way, it was practically balmy this afternoon

I don't know the final temperature, but it was supposed to be about 34 degrees. I actually managed to go to work without my gloves on and with my coat unzipped. Even now it's 27 and feels so good compared to 12. Or 7. You get the idea. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 44, staying about the same at least through Monday. And Sunday we're supposed to get rain. Not snow--rain (although I enjoyed the sun today, and the stars are very clear tonight with the waning crescent moon). I feel like celebrating the thaw that finally has come.
