Think this is the first time I can remember seeing snow on the ground with temps in the mid 70s.

Wow. How much left?

Just the remnant drifts now.  Only the ones that were 2ft+ are left, and they are shrinking fast.  Had a 3.5ft drift between the house and garage that is now shriveled down to a mere 8" deep strip about a foot wide.  

MLI hit 77 today.  Tomorrow's record is 82, which should be tied or broken.

It's gotta cool off, right? Euro AI: "Hold my beer. The gates of hell open in 10 days."

Point forecast of 76 today. Closing weekend at the ski hill. Gonna enjoy the slush and sun! Wish I had a good costume or something outlandish to wear. Our friend is going to ski in a poop emoji outfit.

Although this month isn’t getting the notoriety of 2012, it’s been pretty warm around here, dating back to mid Feb. In fact, I was surprised by this Facebook post by IND:

”Indianapolis has so far exceeded 70 degrees on 8 days this year, starting with 71°F on 2/18, and led by 79°F on 3/6 and 78°F on 3/20.  This tally is the 2nd-greatest on record through March 20th, behind 2012's record 9 days.  The normal 71°F+ tally by 3/20 is only 2 days.”

With a predicted high of 78 today, 81 tomorrow, and 74 on Thursday, 2026 will set a standard in Indiana for late winter/early spring warmth.
