When I left work this evening, the outside temperature was 68. At 5:30 p.m. On January 30. In Nebraska.
Out on the street, pedestrians were in shirtsleeves and shorts. When I stopped at Trader Joe's on the way home, a couple of folks had bared their tootsies in sandals that have been buried in their closets since October.
To commemorate today's record-breaking temps, I'm sharing some photos of our vintage advertising thermometers. I think the inside temperature reflected on these wonderful old advertisements was about the same as it was outside.
Global warming, anyone?
Make it a great day!
I like the pictures on the vintage thermometers!

68!!! Wow I am jealous!! My little hippie snow girl would definitely be gone...LOL...Boy these thermometers bring back memories...I remember one in Grammy's kitchen by the window...I loved that room!! I agree about the global warming! have a great weekend!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun collection! We aren't as warm here...68 sounds really nice, but with 40 in Minnesota right now...I'll take it! We usually have several feet of snow on the ground right now...and I see grass!
ReplyDeleteNever have seen these before. I love them and they make for a cool temperature. It has been warmer here the last two day, but that is changing over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteThese are really neat! I remember my grandma's brother had these in his room, I think from a butane company he worked for. I have not seen them or thought about them in years!! Happy VTT
ReplyDeleteAnn, You always have the best vintage items, love the thermometers. We have had warm weather here too, 50 degrees. My crocuses are coming up and I have buds on my rose bush, this is about 2 or 3 months early. Hope it does not get supper cold now. Thanks for stopping by, Laura
ReplyDeleteWow, you've described what winters are like here in Southern California! lol Except you're in Nebraska!!! Wow, amazing warm temps!!! I hope you were enjoying the sunny weather! :) Wishing you a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

What a lovely warm day.
ReplyDeleteIt's been milder than usual in my part of Canada, but certainly not as warm as Nebraska. There goes my snow-covered image of your state in the winter! Thank you for linking to "Sunlit Sunday" this week. Welcome!

We had a milder Winter until this week. Now we have the snow.
ReplyDeleteMakes you wonder what's in store for summer, doesn't it? I could stand a winter again with very little snow.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done!!! Beautiful pictures!!! Cathy
ReplyDeleteEnjoy that warm weather and could you maybe send us a little cold ..lol no winter here equals bugs ...
ReplyDeletehugs from Savannah, Cherry
Everyone is commenting about their weather which is great when one is stuck inside looking out at the wind blowing and snow whirling. It is cold and snowy one day, sunny the next than back to snowy and cold. I would just rather it be cold and stay that way for the season, but we take what we get of course. Plenty of time for crafting here.
