Looking forward to summer? Already feels like it in the midwest! (oil, suburban) - City-Data Forum

I was amazed by this heat already on the plains.

1pm on March 13:
75 degrees in Omaha, NE
78 degrees in St. Louis, MO
73 degrees in Kansas City, MO

All I can say is wow. Parts of Nebraska, Missouri and Iowa are expected to be 80 degrees and its still winter.

I am looking forward to highs in the 50s later this week and into the weekend, I am not ready for this heat yet.

I kinda am ready. Even though the winter was wholly fairly mild, warmth is nice too. It's about 57 here -- not lovely warm, but not terribly cold either. Still a little nip in the air, but nothing unbearable, and you probably don't need a coat.

It's going back down into the 40's soon (after a high of 72 tomorrow), then into the 50's/60's again.

Its early spring but does feel like summer. Even in Oil city its 70 degrees. The winters are getting shorter and shorter and the summers longer and longer. It didnt begin to get cold in Oil city till after xmas and was only cold for a little over 2 months. I can easily handle 2 months of cold, the rest of the time the weather up north is nice like its now

NAH, it was a mild winter. What don't you get? Next year, winter could last from October - April. There's simply no way of knowing.

BUT IT WAS A MILD!!! WINTER. Okay? It's not usually like this!

You're REALLY jumping to conclusions to say that winter is 2 months long in the north and you can handle it.

Winter is 2 months long in Georgia, maybe. Not in PA. Deal with it. One mild winter simply doesn't change that.

It was 80 today (3/13/07), sunny, and a slight breeze. Really nice!

75-80 in IL, quite bizarre for this early in March, usually doesnt get this warm for a few more weeks.

73 and sunny in Cleveland today....on Saturday it will be a low of 23 with snow showers...

ColdCanadian · 03-13-2007, 08:52 PM

63 F and brilliant sunshine in Toronto... (a FINE example of what I'd like for seasonal, mid-winter weather

)

Will be back into the 20's within a few days.

I just checked the high temperatures today
80 Omaha, Nebraska
81 Bellevue, Nebraska and Council Bluffs, Iowa (suburban Omaha)
82 McCook, Nebraska (western Nebraska near Colorado border)
79 St. Louis

Wow, way too warm already. Luckily, though where I am temperatures are supposed to be in the 40s for highs on Thursday and Friday but warming up to near 70 over the weekend. Cant get any better in my opinion then near 70 and sunny for a high.

Too warm? What's that?

Is it like too Republican or too Democrat? Are the roses too red? Is the sunshine too bright? Are the biscuits too fluffy? Are the peas too black-eyed?
