After suffering through the first 10 days of February with average temperatures 13F below normal, we now have a few days of a warming trend to enjoy. Yesterday it got above freezing and today it was in the mid-forties. So what did I do? Got in the car and went shopping in Sioux City! Roads were clear, I could leave my coat AND sweater in the car, and sunglasses were a necessity. Yee-haw!
It IS February so I know this can't last but it is so nice for now! I wonder if those sections of sidewalk that are solid ice will actually melt and be dry? Maybe, maybe not. There are still a lot of snow piles on the grassy areas left by the plows, shovels, and snow blowers and they will cause puddles which will freeze overnight. At least this warm up gives me hope that spring WILL come.
