30º is just not as cold as it was a month ago

Maybe it’s because my nerve endings have shut down at last but, more likely, it’s because the sun is warmer than it was in early January (and longer too, earlier in the morning and later in the afternoon). This is good.

It’s too early to declare winter over (six more weeks, the rodent says) but this side of the Super Bowl the end seems possible, at least. The foot of snow we had the other day might have been seriously depressing on New Year’s Day but now, hey, it’ll melt. It’s melting right now, in fact. I can see it dripping past the window here. And it’s the sun doing that.

We won’t see temps above freezing for another week, most likely, but when the sun is warm, who cares?
