A Nice Winter...

Usually at this time of the year, Rockford, Illinois experiences at least 2 big snowstorms. But so far we've only received about an inch of snow since December. Last year at the beginning of December, my husband and I almost died trying to get to my graduation ceremony at Northern Illinois University due to an intense blizzard. The snow was unbearable and we could not see 5 feet in front of our car. It was the worst.... but this year has been completely opposite. It has been in the 30s and 40s for most of the winter but currently on January 11th it is 55 degrees outside! Normally it gets below zero a lot and doesn't peak above 30 degrees. Actually, I sat on my porch in the warm sunshine reading a book today. I love it and I wish it would stay like this for the rest of winter. Unfortunately, I can't always get what I want... 6 inches of snow tomorrow. But there's still hope... 40s again on Monday! =]

Be safe in that snow Midwesterners... we've been spoiled
