Its Still Cold Here

The Beatles sang "Little Darling, its been a long cold lonely winter" in their classic "Here Comes the Sun". It hasn't been lonely but it sure has been a long cold weather.  I know, I know, everyone has been suffering from the extended sub-freezing temperatures.

Last week the temperature got up to 70 degrees once and 60 on two other occasions.  And it faked me out.  I thought just maybe we would finally get past the sub freezing and single digit temperature readings. But, wow was I wrong.  This week it is again below freezing and it's not supposed to warm up above freezing until early next week.  And then there's the chance of snow and freezing rain that making driving to and home from work so much fun.  Temperatures here are supposed to be about 15-20 degrees warmer than this at the end of February.

I'm sure I'm not the only one saying this but I am sooo ready for Spring.

"Little Darling It's Been a Long Cold Lonely Winter"

Any true Beatles fan knows that line comes from the Abbey Road song "Here Comes the Sun". It has been a long and cold six weeks for the area. But, yesterday the temperature got to 50 degrees and today it made 63. Yes it is very welcome after the ice and snow of the last few weeks. Just to give you an idea of how nasty the ice was, I still have about an inch of ice on portions of my driveway and sidewalk even after the sun shone it today.

So to celebrate, I have four split fryers on the Weber Kettle and a nice Lagunitas Maximus IPA in my right hand. (Well, I have had to set it down to type). With warm weather, barbecue cooking on the grill and sipping a great beer...life is good!
