Yesterday it was 75, and the day before that I played golf in shorts and a short sleeve shirt.
It has been a very mild winter. I believe there was only one morning in this season that had a temperature that was below freezing, and then it was only 30.

As I look around, my eyes fall on Spring blooms. Color abounds.

I remember back in 1993, living in Chattanooga, when we were hit with the worst snowstorm I can remember. Roughly 2 feet officially, and 25 inches on our driveway.
We are not even through with February yet, and March is still in the wings.
So we will be happy with our mild Winter, while keeping a wary eye open for a drastic change.
