So Long, January

I won't truly begin to shake the winter blues until April, but there is a certain amount of relief this year in finally getting through the month of January. We have gotten more snow in New England than most of us can physically, emotionally, and mentally handle, so to know we now have that month of record-breaking snowfall behind us feels somewhat liberating.

I know we are not out of the snowy woods yet -- February can also dump loads on us, too -- but for now I am just so happy to see a new month pop up on the calendar. January was a challenge!

So, a hearty welcome to February! Please be gentle.

(**UPDATE** February is predicted to start with a 3 to 6 inch snowfall followed up by an ice storm. Lovely. **shakes fists at sky**) At least it's a short month.
