The airport in La Crosse, WI is showing 51F right now. The previous record high was 47F in 1946. It's not even going to get below freezing tonight and maybe not on some other nights next week too. Most people around here seem to think it's pretty nice weather, but those people usually don't venture off of the concrete and asphalt I guess :)

I was planning on hauling my calves to market on Tuesday, but I'm not sure if I can get them loaded without frost in the ground. Usually it's a snowstorm I'm dealing with when hauling them, so this is new one for me.
 
Sure made loading manure off the concrete a breeze today though. It's usially froze down with a bunch of snow mixed in this time of year and tears the daylights out of the loader trying to break it loose.
 
In the great white north, we're looking at 40 F this afternoon. Amazingly nice weather for this time of year, especially when we could be having howling winds, blowing snow and 30 below temps.

I can live with a winter like this every year. Just praying that we get rain in spring.
 
The last the weather channel said we have 60 above. And no snow on the ground left. Sure different than the last couple of winters.
 
I really like this global warming. We had sunny and 60s all weekend. It was January 10 last year when we got hit with our snow and ice storm. Stranded at work for 4 days.
 

Monday, low 19, high upper 30s. Today, high around 55. This in SC. Our temps are typically all over the board, but very rarely below zero.

tjdub I left LaCrosse this afternoon at 4:00 and the bicycle people were on 35 south of LaCrosse. Look funny for January. I have 36 degrees in the valley right now at 6:00.

it has been in the fifty-sixty here in Denver, Colo..wore my j-d t-shirt with my j-d gloves and drove my i-h w-6 in the stock-show parade today at noon...usually on stock show weeks, weather is always around 30"s with snow,,,what happening?
 
High today--mid 40's, 38F right now. No frost in the ground, can't haul wood or move a tractor without cutting everything up. Bring on Winter!
 
> Bring on Winter!

I'm with you there Paul. At least with a snowstorm I can do some work and then get on with business. But I can't just run around with a hairdryer and dry up all this $#%@ing mud. :)

I remember reading about The Year Without Summer (1816). The way this is going, it may go down in history as The Year Without Winter.
 
We probably live pretty close by then.. My farm's just a few miles from Genoa, but it takes about an hour and a half to drive there (queue "Yeah, I had a truck like that too" joke).
