dsc_0043Yeah, those two days of January thaw were awesome, but what a tease. I remember January thaw from my halcyon college years as an annual sun-soaked three days of blissful warmth. Running around campus in shorts and t-shirts, soaking in the rays. Now I’m old and bitter, and January thaw brings us 24 hours of pouring rain and a day of clouds. Then it’s right back with the snow.

In fact, at the moment it’s rather Hoth-like outside. We’re one week away from the AZ trip and I won’t even be able to get outside and get the legs moving this weekend. Saturday the predicted high temp is 6*. Too cold for me. Sunday we’ll warm up to 17*. W00t.

As you can well imagine, I’m really looking forward to a few days of warm weather. But I’m not counting on it. After all, I went south to GA and it snowed. I went west to Las Vegas, and it poured a cold, cold rain the entire time. The weather has been against me. However, February is a fresh month and hopefully we can turn around these jet streams into a more favorable position.
