Sounds like heaven to me. While no one was looking, I nudged the Earth a bit closer to the sun to warm things up a bit.
Exactly. No need for AC or heat, and you can go outside in shorts (wish it weren't quite so windy though). For God's sake we're at the 26th parallel, we're
supposed to be warm in the winter.
Even for the Rio Grande Valley (at the 26th parallel), you all are above normal for the high (72 degrees F.) and low (52 degrees F.) for this time of year on yesterday's date:
