What could be a better way to welcome the warm weather than with a reader-submitted photo homage to winter misery? (That’s a rhetorical question, please don’t say— “How ’bout with a Slip ‘N Slide, a Corona and some actual SUN?!”)

Thank you to everyone who submitted pictures. In my head, all the photos were going to look red-carpet-esque and this post was going to be like the baby version of Joan and Melissa’s Post-Oscars Fashion Rundown. But instead, as I struggled to come up with commentary, I felt less Joan, more Giuliana Rancic. Translation: Not nearly as funny. But here it goes regardless.
