January Thaw is definitely here
Jan. 30th, 2006 12:59 pmNice weather we're having... but is it really abnormal?
So many times in the past week I've heard the weather and news folks talk about the forecast temperatures being "abnormally high" for this time of year. It seems they've all forgotten about "January Thaw." More often than not, we get a run in late January of *rather* warm weather, such as we're having now -- and often even warmer! So I regard this as normal. What isn't normal is that the "non-thaw" weather is warmer than average, more like the early parts of 1998-99 than the last few years.
Today in particular is a gift, since it was supposed to be clouding up and starting to rain already. I really needed some nice weather to help mitigate the blues I had last week. Once I've gotten a phone call done, I'm going to take advantage of the sunshine while I've got it and walk for a while... then come back and get some cover letters written out to go with the resume.
P.S. in case
badfae reads this: let me know if you want a bump for your WKoL show. I know Cierra likes bass voices; how about you? *grin*
