43.8° while it’s 60+ at elevation. 

I especially enjoy 44° at IJD while DIT hasn’t gone below 60°. Then there’s BTV and PBG that have been either side of 70° much of the night. lol

Look at the wild ride my temps have taken over the 24 hours.  It was 62° when I went to bed last night.

Last year was too cold. I’ll take this weather 

[jbenedet]

PSM hit 60 yesterday despite being socked in all day in a classic damp and nasty coastal New England day.
 

That’s +5 … Pretty telling on the amount of warming going on locally in the seacoast region…

Seeing the procedure for thawing frostbite reminds me of my worst frostbite, in Feb 1976.  A series of unfortunate events, starting with no heat at the camp on Big 20 leaving my only boot liners frozen, left me not able to feel my feet by the time we reached the boundary line we were refreshing.  No worries, though, as I was breaking trail for the crew in deep snow and knew that within 15 minutes, I'd be taking off my gloves to avoid sweat-soaking them. 
Big toes were red and swollen that night and 6-7 days later the skin on the tips was blue-black, with skin almost 1/8" thick sloughing off a few days later to reveal nice new pink skin.  Maybe thawing from within was the best procedure of all (though for the next 10-12 years those toes were quite sensitive to cold).

Lots of mid level clouds here capping it to 76. Still very nice.

My worst frostbite was back in the 90s skiing at saddleback. It was 0F and wind was blowing. Got to the top and thought it was best to take the long three mile green trail down since it was sheltered. Without a face mask that didn't end well. Got to the bottom, went into the lodge and nose was white as a ghost. Had no feeling. Once it started warming, the pain was briefly brutal then just sore. Bought a face mask in the ski shop and skied a few more runs, but called it early. went to health center couple days later and they said it was 2nd degree frostbite. memories...

I work as an observer there and my supervisor and I both agreed the temp sensor runs too high. NWS techs were working on the sensors yesterday and had them turned off so he had to interpolate a temperature from other sources and he had 73. When the sensor came back on right when I came in to relieve him it said 76 lol
