BLOOMSBURG -- The skies were a bit cloudy in Bloomsburg Friday morning, but temperatures were above 70.

Many people, like Charles Yost, were taking advantage of the unusually warm November weather.

"It's great. I'd rather have, I don't like cold weather so it's fine with me," said Charles Yost, Bloomsburg.

Yost has lived in Bloomsburg for many years. He recalls being bundled up this time last year, preparing for winter. He thinks it's strange to be outside doing yard work a year later with just a t-shirt on, but he's not complaining.

"It's nice raking out here today. I mean it's bad because the wind is blowing and there are so many leaves but it's a nice day, nice and warm," said Yost.

Yost wasn't the only one in Bloomsburg getting work done outside.  A few houses down on Market Street, we found two people painting the outside of a house. A project the duo had planned to do in the spring.

"I never thought we'd have any kind of weather like this. I says this is terrific. I says if we gets up to 50 maybe, I thought maybe we can do some painting but when it gets up into the 70s it's you know, this is a plus," said Michael Chyko, Bloomsburg.

People here in Bloomsburg said they plan to embrace this weather for as long as they possibly can because raking leaves is so much better than shoveling snow.

"I wish it would stay like this. I says I am not crazy about the snow anymore," said Chyko.

Bloomsburg Town Park was also filled with people taking in the warm weather. Children were running around in summer clothes and parents there were thrilled to be able to get them outside.

"You have to get them out and just enjoy this fantastic weather right now," said Maria Kubik, Bloomsburg.

"I think I could take a whole year of this," said Carol Goromby, Bloomsburg.

According to our Stormtracker Team, the last time we hit 75 degrees on November 6, it was in 1948.
