January Thaw

It comes every year, in one form or another ... the January thaw, that is. This year we got lucky. It landed on MLK weekend and the thawing temperatures are being accompanied by sunny skies. It looks like these temps are going to stay with us for the next couple of days - what a treat! A co-worker officially started his goggle tan today, but I think he may be jumping the gun a little. There's still a lot of winter ahead of us and I expect we'll see lots more cloudy days and snowfall before racoon eyes make their season debut.
