Warm Spell

Yesterday we hit 52 degrees. It's amazing how warm 52 feels in February. In September, 52 is terribly cold. Right now, it feels tropical. The warm, sunny afternoon melted a ton of snow and the snowbanks have receded enough that we're no longer taking our lives into our hands to pull out of the blind withe alley that is our driveway. I know it can't last, in fact it has already turned cold and windy and we're back to forecasts full of snowstorms. But, it's a sign of things to come and it warms the very cockles of my heart.
