Winter?

You almost have to pinch yourself to see if you are dreaming. We live in Iowa, the land of snow and ice and high winds in the winter. Lots of shoveling, snow moving, and freezing weather. But so far this weather is almost like early Spring. We have no snow at all and the temperatures have been in the 40's a great deal of the time. It is already 31 degrees and headed for the 40's again. Believe me, I am not complaining. It means that after this week, we will have about 2 1/2 months of winter behind us and without snow and below zero temperatures, we absolutely love it. I know it's bad for the snowmobilers and people who move snow are hurting for income but we just have to enjoy it while we can because we know it isn't going to last until Spring.
