Sunday was a literal... sun day. (I'm so sorry.) Not only was there not a cloud in the sky, at least not in the sky when and where this picture was taken—it was also the warmest Feb. 28 on record, according to Weather Underground. The high was 62; the average high for Feb. 28 is 40.

Though this picture doesn't convey how warm it was, it does convey how clear it was. Feel free to make this your lock screen if last week's nonexistent horror-blizzard actually materializes Monday night.

Also, from this perspective, downtown looks like one of those little pin box toy thingies. But like, where all the pins are actually skyscrapers.
