A little oddness can be charming in a person…but in the weather its a tad scary.  Just a few weeks ago the temperature was in the single digits here in Charm City.  It is now, I kid you not, shirtsleeve weather outside.  Seriously.  I am about to go for a little before bed walk around the neighborhood without even so much as a light jacket.  It is too warm for it.

When you see severe temperature shifts like this you pretty much know you’re going to be in for it.  Normal right now is cold.  This is not normal.  So when nature restores normal it isn’t likely to be pretty.  They’re calling for some bad thunderstorms later tonight, around midnight.  This would be the same storm front that caused the tornadoes in the mid-west earlier. 

I mean…seriously…shirtsleeve weather in early February in Baltimore?  Get real.  Just this morning I went to work wearing my leather jacket with the removable liner in.  When I got home I couldn’t believe how warm it had become.  Not good.  The winds when the front hits will be pretty fierce…tornadoes or no.  But so far they aren’t warning us about tornadoes yet.  Just strong winds tonight and tomorrow.

I brought my bird feeders inside, lest they be blown off the tree out front.  I think I’ll probably bring in the deck chairs and tables too.
