I could get used to this...

This January has been remarkable - we've only had 2 days with morning temperatures below zero while for most daytime highs we've had above average temperatures. I do miss the snow since we can't use snowshoes, but I don't miss shoveling. The amazing thing to me is that this will only be the seventh 8th warmest January on record. I just don't remember such continuously warm days in the middle of winter. I am not complaining, though. After tomorrow, only 60 days of what we really consider to be winter and then it's spring - sunshine, warmth, and rain. Let the countdown begin!
