Yesterday I had to break out the sandals

It was the twenty-seventh day of February, and my feet were too hot for socks. The mercury climbed a bit over eighty degrees, and although it did that on Tuesday, too, yesterday it was a bit higher, and that was enough. I'm a bit hotter than most people around here (not in the looks department, of course, but in the internal temperature department), so most people are still in jeans, but after about ten in the morning, it's shorts weather for me! And now sandals. Sheesh. I just mention this because the brief time it is bearable here in the Basin is drawing to a close, and from now on, it's going to keep getting hotter until it's egg-frying-on-the-sidewalk weather. But the first day I break out the sandals is a bit of a watershed.

So, how's the weather in the Northeastern United States these days?
