So Is It Spring Yet?

Many things are happening all around the world, but on the East Coast of the United States, it’s currently very warm. Very warm. Half-the-country-is-asking-whether-you-can-wear-shorts-to-work-in-February warm.

Here’s some context. On Tuesday, temperatures sat at or well above 70 degrees Fahrenheit from Massachusetts to Miami. Boston broke its record for the warmest night ever recorded in the month of February, at a balmy 50 degrees Fahrenheit. More than 1,100 miles south, in Tampa, Florida, daytime temperatures rose to 89 degrees Fahrenheit, the warmest temperature ever recorded there in the month of February. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh also set all-time February records.
