From what they are saying us northerners and our bees are going to get a break and things are going to start warming up and soon the girls will be out flying and getting ready for spring.

The extended forecast for here says highs from 47 to 55 every day from 2/15-2/21...and 28 for the lowest low.  Pennsylvania's forecast will probably look something similar.

Far north?  Here snow will be melted away about 15.4. Up till that bees stay in their hives.
2 months any more.

After a month cleansing flights will happen: Bright sun, no wind and +5C. Snow will be perhaps 80Cm

Another beek from Iowa.  Forecast below zero next three nights in a row.  Then back to 20s.  No 45 to 55 in our forecast. :'(

Greenb,

Always seemed to be major climate change whenever I crossed I-80 going north.

Green grass starting south, snow still north.

Brrr....

I hear you WPG I'm ready for some heat, I'll be glad to see things start to green up , I don't even mind the few weeks of mud as long as I don't get stuck in it. Saw 40ish temps forecast for our area Friday -Monday.

Had 14 below zero this am.  Below zero for next three nights with possibly 40s' by weekend. 

Had bees flying and pooping the other day day though when it was 35 above zero and sunny, got one caught in my collar, but she was too kind (or too cold) to sting :).

Starting to get more light in the morning when I go to work, below zero with wind next couple of days then maybe 40 F for one day, it will be nice to put the coat away for a day.

I dont know about you boys but I cant wait for it to finally warm up enough for my girls to get some real cleansing flight opportunities.  I know they have been able to get a bit here and there but a few hours in the upper thirties and sunny will allow them to actually break cluster a bit and all take a good over due crap.  I hate it when they have to go so long without decent cleansing flight days.  I think its been well over two months since they have had a decent day.

Best day in my forecast is Sunday at 38 and sunny.  I hope it gets a few degrees warmer.  Highs look to stay in the thirties for a few days at least though finally, woo hoo!!  I well have to make a visit to the yards.  Only a nut case would be exited to see bees poop eh!

Correction "please" bee-nuts:  Only a "Beek" would be excited to see bees pooping, not so sure about the nut-cases as I tend to put them in another catagory :-D :-D  I've already had lots of yellow snow this past saturday and expect more by weekend.
