Styvas posted : All the inside decorations are down. Ran out of time to take down the outdoor lights. Oh well, maybe next weekend. As long as I don't turn them on, I can probably avoid neighbourhood derision. ;)

A Lurker posted : I should have taken a picture this afternoon, but there are two snowdrops showing colour in the garden. One I'd say is truly in bloom, the other just close. I know there are blue ones (keep meaning to look for them), but these are the common white ones.

it was changed this morning...your computer/playbook is likely caching the image.

Yeah. Went outside with my coat and instantly questioned why I wasn't wearing shorts and a T-shirt.

dirtyjeffer posted : ours are now down too, although, every year i try to convince the wife they are "Winter Wonderland Lights", not Christmas lights, as i like the look of them up all winter long...sure, they look silly when there is no snow on the ground, but when you get a couple of feet of snow, they look really nice.

and every year, i lose that argument. :( :p

LazMan posted : Took all mine down Jan 2nd... Didn't have a lot up this year, anyways, so didn't take long.

Did a dump-run today; got rid of a bunch of boxes, and stuff from the storage unit (if I haven't needed it in a year, I either don't need it, or have already replaced it...)

Weather is insane today - 10 degrees or so here in Barrie-area.

Thane_Bitter posted : It’s like March minus the cold winds, very strange for this time of the year, but certainly unpleasant, there is even a scent of fresh rain in the air (probably from all the snow melting and high humidity). Normally there is a mini warm break sometime in February, however abnormal seems to be the normal now.

Hope we don't end up with a thermonuclear temperatures this summer.
