What a great weekend! Can we have more?

Both Saturday and Sunday were in the lower 60s and we enjoyed plenty of sunshine.

What did all of you do? Share it here on the blog.

I basked in the sun, my husband fertilized the lawn and we raked the planters. My dog was thrilled when we went for a log run and the birds were everywhere searchig for worms in the soft dirt. I also noticed a large influx in the motorcycle traffic.

It was a long, hard Winter as compared to the past 25 years.  We didn't see many 50s or 60s this Winter or Spring. In fact the warmest day since the 66 degrees on November 12 was on January 7th when we hit 65 degrees.

As we look at the week ahead (7th-11th) temperatures will hover either side of normal, which is 55 degrees, unfortunately  those 60s will be elusive.

We will also see a very active Spring pattern including a chance of thunderstorms at some point each day Tuesdy-Friday. Good idea to keep the rain gear in the car or backpack.

Still, no matter how you look at it we are past the worst and Winter has wound down. Now it's onward and upward through Spring.

Have a great week,

Tammie Souza

Hi Tammie,

This weekend was GREAT!!! Did so many outdoor actitivies, played with Bentley a lot, and we also went to Gurnee Mills Mall on Sunday. Could not have asked for anything better, unless it was warmer. At least Spring is here now and we can wave cya later (hopefully) to the snow. The best part about all of this is that each day the sun comes up earlier and goes down later and later!! Now you now that Summer is on the way. Should be great. Keep up all the great work that you and the Fox News Team do each morning!! Take care...

Jessica and Chris,Great to hear from you both!
Thanks for letting me know how you enjoyed the beautiful weekend.
Jessica, last year we started April in the 60s and 70s, but then there was a week of 30s and 40s. I guess this wet, but mild stretch isn't too bad. More sun would be nice though.Chris, give Bently a pat for me. I was a nice weekend for the dogs.
Glad, you both are enjoying the show.
Have a great week and stay dry.
Tammie
