Up here in Neeeeeee-braska we've had the record warmest first 3 months of the year ever on record. Parts of the state beat the highest on record March average temp by more than 3 degrees!

But tonight, we're back to the "normal" lows for this time of year, maybe a little below.

Anyway, long story short, the Palms have been out on the balcony for weeks, but tonight got down to below 40F, so I had to do this:

I was enjoying the warm weather

Without being able to live with palm trees in the real life, I escape to The Sims to live in a tropical atmosphere with all the palm trees I desire.

We're back in it! The high yesterday was after dark because of all the heat coming North on the wind...

Oh, that's cool

I saw it on my weather app but I have been in Florida for the past few days, and am currently in Tennessee until sunday

I have to keep my eye on the weather again.

Low 90's today and tomorrow, but depending on which forecast you watch it may snow on Saturday...

Seriously, Nebraska, WTF?
