Closing in on four years here now...Dec. and Jan. have some cold(er) days, even a frost or three on the really cold nights. I recall our first January here...forecast was for a low of 30 f. overnight and there was a "severe weather warning" out as a result, with parents being urged not to let Junior out of the house unless he was wearing a hat AND mittens. Being from Minnesota I got a chuckle out of that: I recall months when the daytime temps rarely got above zero, and -40 at night was not uncommon.
But things (and folks) change. We used to be amused by locals wearing long coats, hats and gloves when the temps hovered around 40, now I'm one of them.
