How sweet it is; BWI reaches 70 degrees
This must be our reward for battling back from the snowy purgatory we found ourselves in last month - a gorgeous, cloud-free day with temperatures in the deliciously perfect upper 60s and low 70s.
The mercury out at BWI-Marshall Airport reached 70 degrees at 3:15 p.m. Thursday. It was the 
first time we've seen the 70s there since Nov. 15, when we touched 72 degrees
The Washington airports were in the same ballpark: 69 at Dulles at 3:59 p.m., and 71 down at Reagan National at 3:04, according to the NWS forecast office in Sterling, Va.
Here at The Sun, we reached 71 degrees at 3:30 p.m. It was 70 at the Maryland Science Center.
So, with spring officially less than 48 hours away, have we finally rid ourselves of all the February snow piles out there? The one behind my house has finally vanished. How about yours? How are the mall parking lot piles doing? Any more guesses on when the last of February's snows will finally trickle away?

The outside temps aren't catching up with the inside of my home. It's cold inside and warm outside which means confusing clothing options.

There's a pile of snow in a parking lot near BWI across the street from Northrop Grumman that is still over 10 feet tall. I think it could be at least April before it will be gone.
