After a lot of snow, temps are rising... might hit +8 on Friday, which is "t-shirt weather" as far as I'm concerned! LOL

But today, freezing rain, so even schools cancelled buses. Not nice to be out at all.

had a few cold days , -3C at night , schools closed , panic buying , we really cant deal with ice and snow here in Ireland , anyway , wet and cold 4c , but at least we can go shopping , hope everyone has a good year this year , even a little improvement helps a lot with most of us . 

A whole lot warmer today at 41 degrees. No wind chill. Snow is all melted and can see the grass. The sky is gray though due to on and off rain. I got up at 3am with a burst of energy due to napping in the day and  I managed to get my whole apartment bleached down including the floors. Now have windows open and ceiling fan going bringing in fresh air. 

Back to freezing cold, wet and damp. 

We ended up having a warmer-than-expected day last week, which did melt 90% of the snow. It was nice to see green again! But a dusting rolled through, and it's been overcast.

Temps are expected to continue to be just above freezing, but it will get much colder next week. 

Also, my outdoor weather station is on the fritz, so that's been a bummer as I enjoyed monitoring the wind and temperature myself.

Every once in a while, despite the temperature outside, I'll open our kitchen windows for about 15 minutes to let fresh air in. We have a carbon dioxide meter on the opposite end of the house, and it makes a significant difference. More fresh air in the home (i.e. fresh oxygen), makes you feel more alert and less drowsy.

I love that you were able to get the entire apartment scrubbed down! There's something cathartic about making that kind of effort.
