Sadly spring is here in Eugene, Oregon.
Daffodils are up, robins and other birds flying around, its been in the 50's and 60's recently, and tree pollen which I am very allergic to is at "high" levels.

Spring is here in Mississippi.  It's glorious!  I'm not allergic to anything so I simply get to enjoy watching the trees leaf out.

Not saying we won't have another cold snap.  I remember one April Fool's Day when it snowed and the snow stuck on the ground for 3 days.

I'll take this weather any day over the heat and humidity of summer.

Are you waiting to ship Jon? This weather stinks. It's in that zone where you can cook them from too much or freeze them from not enough. Just did that to Matt's fish. Dang it.

   Yes, I have a few things to go out....and it's just what you're saying...heat pack em too much and they go into warmer weather and cook....don't use enough and risk them sitting in the cold and chilling to much...ya can't win....I've used regular 8 hr, $0.99 hand warmers as boosters, to allow for them getting out of Chicago land(with reg 72hr heat pack(s) for the rest of the trip into a warmer zone)....that worked once...but with this crap, even that is too dicey.....
  What's your method for starting heat packs??.....open early, and shake often??? in cold weather I'm always leary of a failed heat pack....or the box getting too cold before leaving town to even work right....that's one reason that I went with the hand warmer trick...they get pretty warm til the regular heat packs kick in....
