Same ,lots of flowers. Roses, Peonies and Hibiscus are the stars this year. We invested in a large Weeping Blue Atlas Ceder (8 ft). Going to try my hand at shaping it.  

Here are a few suggestions.

Could you float me a few of those Bennies, if you have any laying around?!

We have a contract with a home warranty service.  That has been worth the money, but we are getting to the end of this unit’s lifecycle, I’m afraid.

You will have to replace the inside heat exchanger too. There has been a change in refrigerant that makes it mandatory. $$$$

Main Atlantic Ocean currents are changing: I didn't know about this until a few minutes ago!  This more broad article is not mentioning the sea surface temperature differences that you are noticing, so it is important to hear a direct firsthand report.  

The past two summers have definitely been cooler (but not completely cool), a simple aspect of that being the length of time it has taken for RDU to eventually reach 90. 

Yeah, that was the main problem with the science in Day After Tomorrow. They never took into account the date RDU reached 90. Ruined the whole damn movie.

Is there something wrong with me that I relish the thought of all those who were relishing the early spring in February grumping their butts off? 

Yes, but that's not the reason.

Don't want to upload because of image size, but these images are so cool

It's not the size. The board doesn't particularly like png files.  I converted it to JPG.

14 years ago tonight.  My back deck. 20"

I guess it could be worse.  27º above normal for Feb. is just crazy.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/27/weather/arctic-temperatures-record-high-intl/index.html

Calculations from Cape Morris Jessup, the world's northernmost land-based weather station, show that temperatures from February in eastern Greenland and the central Arctic are averaging about 15°C (27°F) warmer than seasonal norms.

Actually I'll buy this one.  Animals are keenly aware of human habits and patterns.  When we abruptly change our patterns it throws the animals off there schedules which often revolve around us.  Nonscientific observation: roadkill spikes around time changes.

Further investigation of the road kill phenomenon would probably show the spring increase would occur in the morning and the fall increase in the afternoon. No big mystery.  More people driving in a dark hour that was a light hour yesterday.

Ooo,Ooo pick me. pick me... but the time shift moves more daylight to the afternoon so the sun angle creates more melting..................seriously, pretty sure he was kidding.

He probably was kidding but you can never be sure. Back when they moved the start of daylight saving time from late April to March there actually were some people seriously concerned that the extra hour of sunlight that early in the year would cause an early spring.
